Answer:
B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.
Explanation:
Variance formula = sum of (probability x (r - mean)^2)
r= expected return
if the expected return would be same for each economic state then the mean would equal to expected return which ultimately will give variance zero ( as r-mean would be 0).
Hence the correct option is B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.

Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
(a) Net Income:
= Revenues - Expenses

(b) Retained earnings :
= Net Income - Dividend
= $ 28,400 - $7,700
= $20,700
(c) Stockholders' Equity:
