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.

Darya [45]

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a. 45%

Explanation:

The sum of total probabilities  is always equal to 1. Since in the given question only three probabilities are given, so the sum of these three probabilities shall be 1 which is represented as follows by the equation:

probability of boom+probability of normal+probability of recession=1

In the given question:

probability of boom=30%

probability of recession=25%

30%+probability of normal+25%=1

Probability of normal=1-25%-30%=45%

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be a. 45%
