Answer:
b
Explanation:
Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio
Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.
1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio
For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price
When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping
2. Negative correlation : it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio
For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price
When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping
3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

Please see explanation
Explanation:
The forecast of 20% increase prepared by the state revenue commissioner is plausible because the new sales tax rate has also been increased by 20% in comparison with the old tax rate which can be calculated as follows:
Change in sales tax rate=change in tax rate/old tax rate
=6-5/5
=1/5
=20%
Answer:
Negatively, positively
Explanation:
A stock put option is a stock/market instrument that allows a stock to be sold, at a certain price and at any time to another buyer.
A strike price is the price that a stock seller decides to sell his stocks after receiving offers.
For the above question, the Stock put option is negative related to the stock price and positively related to the strike price.
This can be translated to simply mean that the price of a stock is not subject to or affected by the stock price but rather by the price that the seller chooses to sell.

Answer: e. Groucho will lose on a defense of bona fide occupational qualification because he will not be able to establish that only non-pregnant employees can perform as servers.
Explanation:
Groucho would be unable to prove that a pregnant person will be unable to fulfil their occupational obligations because it is not uncommon to see pregnant women working. He will not be able to prove that that only non-pregnant workers can serve because his main reason of children asking embarrassing questions will not stand as children in this day and age are already knowledgeable of what it means to be pregnant and if they don't it will be an excellent opportunity to introduce them.
Customers will probably not object to pregnant women serving them as this is a natural phenomenon. The Federal Government also recognizes that Pregnant women can still work and for this reason amended Title VII accordingly.
Answer:
1. Rail Haul
2. Poker R- Us
3. Idol staff
Explanation:
The computation of the coefficient of variation is shown below:
As we know that
Coefficient of variation = Standard deviation ÷ average return × 100
For Rail Haul, it would be
= 25% ÷ 12% × 100
= 208.3333
For Idol staff, it would be
= 35% ÷ 15% × 100
= 233.3333
For Poker R-us, it would be
= 20% ÷ 9% × 100
= 222.22
Now we know that the highest coefficient of variation leads to high risk so the rank is as best to worst
1. Rail Haul
2. Poker R- Us
3. Idol staff
