Question Help Fund A sells for $15 a share and has a 3-year average annual return of $0.25 a share. The beta value is 1.07.
Fund B sells for $17 a share and has a 3-year average annual return of $0.91 a share. The beta value is 0.77.
Jonquin wants to spend no more than $3600 investing in these two funds, but he wants to obtain at least $80
