Answer:
b. 8.92%
Explanation:
Calculation for the portfolio expected return
Using this formula
Portfolio expected return = (Stock A allocated fund x Stock A expected return) + (Stock B allocated fund x Stock B expected return)
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio expected return= (54%*8%) + (46%*10%)
Portfolio expected return=0.0432+0.046
Portfolio expected return=0.0892*100
Portfolio expected return =8.92%
Therefore the portfolio expected return will be 8.92%
The fiscal deficit for the government for the current year will be $20 billion for the given condition.
<h3>What is fiscal deficit?</h3>
The condition where there is an excess of expenditures over the income during a given financial period, it is known as fiscal deficit. The computation of fiscal deficit using the formula and the given information will be,

Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
In a competitive market, when the demand curve i.e. the marginal benefit curve is exactly equal to the supply curve i.e. marginal cost curve and at this point the sum of consumer and producer surplus is maximized then an equilibrium is set in an economy and economic efficiency is obtained.
Inefficiency occurs at a point where there is a disequilibrium in an economy which means that competitive equilibrium is not achieved by the economy.
Given:
<span>General pharmacy’s stock has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14%,
Sicoras corp.’s stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.2%.
Let Rf stand for risk free rate.
Let Rm stand for expected market return.
General Pharmacy: 14% = Rf + 1.8(Rm-Rf)
Sicoras Corp.: 16.2% = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
0.14 = Rf + 1.8Rm - 1.8Rf
0.14 = Rf - 1.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 = -0.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 + 0.8Rf = 1.8Rm
Rm = 0.14/1.8 + 0.8Rf/1.8
Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span><span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
</span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5[(0.078+0.444Rf) - Rf]
0.162 = Rf + 0.117 + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.162 - 0.117 = Rf + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.045 = 0.166Rf
0.045/0.166 = Rf
0.271 = Rf
<span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444(0.271)
Rm = 0.078 + 0.120
Rm = 0.198
Rf = 27.1% ; Rm = 19.8%
The risk free rate is 27.1% and the expected market return is 19.8%.
To check, simply substitute the value of Rf and Rm in the above equation.
