A monopolist's marginal cost curve shifts down, but the firm's demand curve remains the same. as a result of the fall in marginal cost, the monopolist will raise its price and decrease its output.

<h3>What is marginal cost?</h3>

The difference between the total cost and the change in energy output is known as the marginal cost (MC) curve. The MC curve and the firm's supply curve are the same in totally competitive marketplaces.

Due to how the "law of changing proportions" operates in the near term, the marginal cost curve has a U-shaped shape. The law states that the MC curve initially slopes downward until it reaches its minimum point, at which time it begins to slope upward. As a result, when represented visually, the curve takes on the shape of a U.

Because a corporation seeking to maximize profits will only create until the marginal cost (MC) equals marginal income, marginal cost is a key concept in economic theory (MR). Beyond that, the cost of manufacturing a new item will be more than the profit made.

Although a monopolist's demand curve changes, its marginal cost curve stays the same. The monopolist will increase its price and cut back on production as a result of the decline in marginal cost.

Suppose that the S&amp;P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Part II: Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution provides that the president must "take care that the laws be faithfully
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: Yes it is.

Explanation:

The Constitution puts the President at the head of the Executive branch of government and provides that the President should ensure that the laws of the land are faithfully executed.

Seeing as executive orders are issued to members of the executive - which are under the President - and are done to ensure that the laws of the land are carried out, the President is not only following the Constitution's directives in  Article II, Section I of the Constitution but doing it within their power as head of the executive.

Executive orders are therefore an implied constitutional power that the President has.

Answer: Increase (+)

Explanation:

The Government component of the Aggregate Demand refers to money spent by the Government/ Public sector to provide certain needs for the economy such as Education, Defense and Healthcare.

When the government spends on infrastructural development such as the scenario described in the text, they are engaging in a form of spending known as Government Investment. This will increase the amount of G in the aggregate demand model.
