<span>When buying any item in most stores, you are charged sales tax. Retailers, even smaller businesses are charged taxes for running their business. Businesses are able to pass on part of the burden to their paying customers in way of sales tax. So when you see an item marked as 99 cents, you will be paying slightly more than a dollar in almost all cases.</span>
Answer:
Correct option is (c)
Explanation:
Progressive tax rate depends upon the income of the individual. In other words, progressive tax rate increases as income increases. So, higher income group have to pay more taxes as compared to lower income group.
Proportion of tax collected from high income group is more in case of progressive tax rates. In this case, Blade's tax rate is 10% that is 5,000/50,000 and Caden's tax rate is 12% that is 12,000/100,000.
So, tax rate is higher for Caden as compared to rate applicable on Blade's income.

Answer:
1.15
Explanation:
If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;
weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333
Let the stocks be A and B
weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333
weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333
Beta of A; bA = 1.85
Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"
Beta of risk free; bRF = 0
Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "
The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;
wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF
1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)
1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0
1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB
0.3834 = 0.3333bB
Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;
bB = 0.3834/0.3333
w=bB = 1.15
Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15
