The proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given below:
<h3>Scenario 1</h3>
He would say that the pricing system should remain the main determinant of the market and the interference of the government was uncalled for.
<h3>Scenario 2</h3>
He would side with the free market system and be an opponent of the law that frowns on importation.
<h3>Scenario 3</h3>
He would support the suspension of the antitrust laws.
<h3>Scenario 4</h3>
He would believe that markets should not be regulated and the free market system should continue.
<h3>Who is Adam Smith?</h3>
He is the father of modern economics for his work in pioneering ideas such as free trade and the gross domestic product
Hence, we can see that the proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given above.

(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4
(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).
(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.
Then,
R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%
Answer:
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the market risk premium
We will first calculate the market risk premium using the required rate of return for stock, beta and risk free rate and plugging these values in the formula above.
0.1330 = 0.058 + 1.64 * rpM
0.1330 - 0.058 = 1.64 *rpM
0.075 = 1.64 * rpM
rpM = 0.075 / 1.64
rpM = 0.04573 or 4.573%
As we know that the beta for market is always equal to 1, we can calculate the rate of return for market as,
expected return on market = 0.058 + 1 * 0.04573
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Explanation:
Ethics is considered above law as law requires just compliance of laws, rules and regulations. Ethics on the other hand establishes a standard of moral conduct. Being mere legal does not mean that something is ethical. Ethical responsibilities are not codified as it is expected from businesses to follow the same.
Here, Marshall, though complied with legal frameworks, he failed to fulfill his ethical obligations by using low-grade products that could harm the general public in future.
