a. Stock offer an expected rate of return of 18%, with a standard deviation of 22%. Gold offers an expected return of 10% with a standard deviation of 30%.

Could the set of assumption in part (b) for expected returns, standard deviations and correlation represent an equilibrium for security market? C
