A risk averse investor is the one who prefers lower amount of returns with known or specific risks instead of the higher amount of returns with unknown risks. So, from among the various level of risks, the investor will be preferring the alternative with the least interest.

So, in this case,

In Asset A: pay a return of $2,000 and at 20% of time and the $500 at 80% of time.

In Asset B: pay a return of $1,000 and at 50% of time and the $600 at 50% of time.

So, I would prefer, Asset B as it has low return but have a known risk that is of 50 -50.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the net pension asset/liability reported in the balance sheet at the end of the year

First step is to calculate the Ending PBO using this formula

Ending PBO=(Asset Beginning balance)+(Service cost)+(Interest cost)+(Loss on PBO)+Retiree benefits

Net pension liability = $(929) + $877

Net pension liability= $(52)

Therefore the net pension liability reported in the balance sheet at the end of the year is $(52)
