Explanation:
The expected return on the portfolio will be calculated by multiplying the investment in each stock by the expected return of the stocks. This will be:

= 3.41% + 6.44% + 3.68%
= 13.53%
Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
Scarcity refers to a state of being in short supply.
Scarcity exists because distribution of resources is unequal. Majority of the people tend to get more than they need in preparation for future uses. They did not take into consideration that other people also need the items they have stocked up on. This results to unequal distribution of resources. Those who had first access to the goods have more than they need while those who came last have goods that is not enough to sustain their needs. They are the ones experiencing scarcity.
