Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy)  + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%)  + (2% × 10%)  

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%

Match the different types of incomes to their sources.
Rzqust [24]
There are three (3) types of income: Earned Income, Portfolio Income and Passive Income. 

Earned Income - a type of income that is generated through work (e.g. salary)

Portfolio Income - These income are somewhat called "capital gains" because it is where the state gets salary taxes. This type of income is generated through selling investments in a higher price that you paid. 

Passive Income - This type of income is generated through your assets that you have created. Like for instance, you bought a house and let it rent to earn an income.

How do basic level occupation help society​
wel

Answer:

A job, employment, work or occupation, is a person's role in society. More specifically, a job is an activity, often regular and often performed in exchange for payment ("for a living"). Many people have multiple jobs (e.g., parent, homemaker, and employee). A person can begin a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a parent. The duration of a job may range from temporary (e.g., hourly odd jobs) to a lifetime (e.g., judges).
