assuming a 250-day year, for the entire portfolio was $1,367,000 based on the portfolio’s market value of $12,428,000 and a correlation coefficient between stocks and bonds of zero.

B was correct
 
Begin by using the formula for dollar portfolio VAR to compute the annual VAR(5%) for the bond position:
VAR2 ortfolio = VAR2 tocks + VAR2 onds + 2VARStocksVARBonds ρStocks, Bonds (1,367,000)2 = (1,153,000)2 + VAR2 onds + 2(1,153,000)VARBonds(0) VARBonds = [(1,367,000)2 – (1,153,000)2]0.5 = 734,357
 
Next convert the annual $VARBonds to daily $VARBonds: 734,357 / (250)0.5 = 46,445
