Answer: A)  (i) will; (ii) will not

Explanation:

The optimal portfolio should be one where the assets are diversified such that returns can be made regardless of the direction the economy is going. For this to happen, asset classes need to have a low correlation with one another.

If the correlation between gold and stocks is low therefore, gold should and will be held as a component in the portfolio. If the correlation between gold and stocks is 1.0 - this means that they are perfectly correlated and move together - gold should not be in the optimal portfolio as it would be too risky.

Francis works for a local fly-fishing shop. The shop allows employees to purchase two fly rods per year at a discount. This year
RUDIKE [14]

The amount of discount that has to be included in Francis's income is 0.

<h3>How to solve for the discount amount</h3>

The amount of the discount - sales price

= $50

This is the discount when it is sold to employees

Next we solve for the gross profit as

sales price x gross profit rate

= 300 x 30%

= 90

Given the amounts that we have here we have to conclude that the amount to be included in the account is 0
