    Dear John Sir,

    Which ONE of the following statements is true, if a decision is made using expected values?
    A The risk is minimised for a set level of return
    B The risk is minimised irrespective of the level of return
    C The return is maximised for a given level of risk
    D The return is maximised irrespective of the level of risk

    Sir would you mind explaining why the answer is D to this question?

    I think it should be clear that we are maximising rather than minimising the return.

    As I explain in my free lectures on this, expected values take no account of risk.
