A big pharmaceutical​ company, DRIg, has just announced a potential cure for cancer. The stock price increased from $ 2 to $ 140 in one day. A friend calls to tell you that he owns DRIg. You proudly reply that you​ do, too. Since you have been friends for some​ time, you know that he holds the​ market, as do​ you, and so you both are invested in this stock. Both of you care only about expected return and volatility. The​ risk-free rate is 3 %, quoted as an APR based on a​ 365-day year. DRIg made up 1.34 % of the market portfolio before the news announcement.

a. On the announcement your overall wealth went up by 0.9 % ​(assume all other price changes cancelled out so that without​ DRIg, the market return would have been​zero). How is your wealth​ invested? (Round all intermediate values to five decimal places as​ needed.)

The percentage of your wealth invested in the market is _%. (Round to two decimal​ places.)

b. Your​ friend's wealth went up by 1.7 %. How is his wealth​ invested?
