B d˜1 d˜2 d˜3 ··· d˜t ···
C d˜1 d˜1 · d˜2 d˜1 · d˜2 · d˜3 ··· d˜1 · · · d˜t ···
where d˜t are independent random variables with the same distri-
bution and a mean of 1.00. Suppose that the risk-free rate is 5%
and the required rate of return is 20% for asset A. Further assume
that these rates are constant over time.

2. Asset B:
