C. A risk averse investor would choose the economy in which stock returns are independent because risk can be diversified away in a large portfolio.
Explanation:
if stock prices move together, (positive correlation), the volatility of the portfolio will be higher. Higher volatility means higher risk. This is the case with the first economy.
In the second economy however, the stocks are independent of each other meaning there is zero correlation between stocks and hence the portfolio volatility will be much lesser.
As a risk-averse investor you will prefer the portfolio with lower volatility for the same expected return.

Answer:
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm can be made up of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is normally calculated using the market value of these components. The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity in the capital structure based on the market value
- rD, rP and rE are the cost of debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively.
To calculate the weight that should be assigned to the preferred stock in the calculation of WACC, we need to determine the market value of preferred stock and the market value of the capital structure.
Market Value - Debt = 10000 * 1000 * 1.01 = $10.1 million
Market Value - Preferred stock = 1 * 114.50 = $114.5 million
Market Value - Common equity = 26 * 15 = $390 million
Total MV of capital structure = 10.1 + 114.5 + 390 = $514.6
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%
