(write in decimal format using 5 decimal places) b. When choosing the best point of the POS (the curved line connecting two possible assets you can invest in) you need to find the point that: 1.Has the greatest difference between it’s return and the risk free rate, thus leading to the best return 2. You must solve for the optimal y allocation in order to find the best point on the POS 3. The point with the lowest standard deviation 4. The point with the greatest Sharpe ratio
