The higher the risk, the lower the purchase price.

Explanation:

The investment with higher risk should have lower purchase price. When an investment is more risky the rate of returns is higher, so a lower price will be paid for the 10% investment. This is done to balance the risk of loss.

The investment with lower risk and lower returns will carry higher purchase price because probability of loosing invested funds is low.
