Assume the demand function for basketballs is given by QD = 150 −3P + 0.1I, where P = price of a basketball, and I = average inc

ome of consumers. Also, assume the supply of basketballs is given by QS = 2P. If the market for basketballs is perfectly competitive, and the average income is equal to $1,500, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? What if a 20 percent income tax is introduced?

Answer: (1) Equilibrium price = 60 and Equilibrium quantity = 120, when I = $1500.

(2)  Equilibrium price = 54 and Equilibrium quantity = 108, when I = $1200.

Explanation:

(1) When Average income (I) = $1500

At equilibrium, QD = QS

150 - 3p + 0.1I = 2p

150 - 3p + 0.1 × 1500 = 2p

5p = 300

p = \frac{300}{5}

p = 60

q = 2p ⇒ 2 × 60 = 120

Hence, p and q are equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity, respectively.

(2) If 20% income tax is introduced then Average income (I) = $1500 - 20% of  $1500 ⇒ $1500 - $300 = $1200

At equilibrium, QD = QS

150 - 3p + 0.1I = 2p

150 - 3p + 0.1 × 1200 = 2p

5p = 270

p = \frac{270}{5}

p = 54

q = 2p ⇒ 2 × 54 = 108

Hence, p and q are equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity, respectively.

The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of 30% of Stock X and 70% of Stock Y is:
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%

Explanation:

The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.

Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:

SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)

Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%
