(5 points) Now assume there are an infinite number of assets with the return characteristics identical to those of A, B, and C, respectively. If one forms a well-diversified portfolio of type A securities, what will be the variance of the portfolio's return? Similarly, what will the variance of the portfolio's return for portfolios formed only from type B? type C? K.
