The higher an investment’s risk, the HIGHER THE RETURNS AN INVESTOR WILL REQUIRE.
Explanation:
By saying that investors are risk averse, it means that given a similar level of returns, an investor will choose the investment with the lowest risk. That is why investors generally prefer and are willing to pay more for less risky investments, which results in lower returns (higher price ⇒ lower returns).
So high risk investments will always have a lower price than low risk investments, since the returns demanded by investors are proportional to the risk of the investment.
Inflation is the rise in the price of goods and services in an economy over a certain period. Inflation that is controlled and low generally helps an economy recover from a recession and results in increases in employment
