Answer:
Portfolio´s beta: 1.16
Explanation:
Stock Percent Beta Weighted Beta
X 36% 1,19 0,43
Y 18% 0,87 0,16
Z 46% 1,26 0,58
1,16
The portfolio beta is obtained by the sum of the individual betas of each stock considering it´s percent on the portfolio (weighted beta).
It represents the relative volatility of a portfolio relative to the market. More than one means more volatile and less than one means less volatile than the market.
Based on the economic data given, and the fact that the government is running a deficit, the equilibrium GDP will be 336.67.
If government spending is cut to balance the budget, the new level of GDP will be 321.67.
The effect of balancing the budget will be a decrease in GDP and a slower recovery from the recesssion.
<h3>What is the equilibrium GDP?</h3>
This is given by the variable "Y" so we can find the equilibrium GDP by solving for it:
C = 50 + .7(Y – T)
Y = C + I + G - XN
C = Y - I - G + XN
Solving gives:
Y - I - G + XN = 50 + .7(Y – T)
Y - 40 - 35 + 10 = 50 + 0.7Y - 14
Y - 0.7Y = 50 + 40 + 35 - 10 - 14
0.3Y = 101
Y = 101/0.3
= 336.67
<h3>What is the new GDP if government spending is cut?</h3>
Government spending will have to be cut to a size that would make it equal to taxes so government spending becomes 20.
New GDP becomes:
= C + I + G - XN
= ( 50 + .7(Y – T)) + 40 + 20 - 10
= 271.67 + 40 + 20 - 10
= 321.67

Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If he does not earn any income, he receives $225 from each program. For each dollar he earns (which his employer is required to report to the welfare agency), his benefit from each program is reduced by 75 cents until the benefit equals zero.
Each program= 225
Combined earnings= 225*2= 450
