d) The value of equity is $0
Explanation:
Bank loans are classified as performing and nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans that stay for over a long period (usually 12 months) are considered to be a loss.
When a bank makes a loss on loans (loan goes bad due to nonrepayment) they make provisions and debit the business equity for the loss.
The given loan amount is $800 and the bank had to provision 5% of that amount.
Loss from loan= 800* 0.05= $40
This is deducted from equity= 40- 40= $0

A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks tend to have a lesser covariance between the security returns. Also, there will be increased diversification. This increased diversification lowers the risk of portfolio thereby resulting in a lower standard deviation.
Other options are not correct. A portfolio consisting of 30 energy stocks will have a higher level of covariance between the security returns. Therefore, the standard deviation is lower.
A coefficient of variance greater than one will have a high level of variance while a coefficient variance less than 1 has a lower level of variance. A lesser covariance will result to a lower standard deviation and vice-versa.
