Step 1: Given
Step 2: Add 6 on both sides

Answer:
The less the correlation between two variables means the more different their output is.
A.) If Rachel wants to diversify her investment by investing on bonds that do not closely follow the returns on the bond. then she should invest in the stocks with low correlation with bonds. I.e: small cap stocks.
B.) Similarly, due to low correlation, small cap bonds will increase ( comparatively to large cap bonds) as the return on her bonds wil drop and vice versa.
Given the two options above, in order to come up with the best plan we have to calculate the future value of money in each plan.
compound interest is given by:
Option 1
p=$500
r=2%=0.02
t=1 year
Option 2
p=$500
r=2/12=1/6
n=1*12=12
hence:
=$509.09
Comparing the two plans above, option 1 is the best.
b] Option 1 is the best because she will secure $510 as compared to option 2 which has interest rate that reduces her amount by $1 after one year due to annual charges. The total amount of money she will have at the end of the plan is $510.
