Answer:
beta of stock B = 1.33
Explanation:
the beta of treasury bills is 0
the beta of stock A = 1.46
the beta of stock B = ?
the portfolio contains equal amounts of each investment and its overall beta is 0.93
0.93 = (0 x 1/3) + (1.46 x 1/3) + (B x 1/3)
0.93 = 0 + 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.93 = 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.4433 = 0.333B
B = 0.4433 / 0.333 = 1.33

Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
Answer:
18.65%
Explanation:
Cost = $12,300
Total Payment = $420 × 36
= $15,120
Difference in the cost and payment = $15,120 - $12,300 = $2,820
Interest rate is the ratio of the interest to the original cost of the item.
The interest is the difference between the amount paid and the actual cost.
Interest rate = ($2,820/$15,120) × 100%
= 18.65%
