In theory, protectionist policies will prevent some imports that might injure workers in several different ways: fewer jobs, low

er wages, or poor working conditions. How might protectionist policies in reality cause these injuries rather than prevent them?

Answer and Explanation:

Protectionist policies followed by the government will lead to lack of competition for domestic firms in the market. When there is lack of competition for domestic firms in the market, this will make the firms inefficient in the long run in the country which has imposed protectionist policies. When the firms become inefficient, there will be less job creation in the jobs market and demand for labor will also reduce because of fall in profits of the firm. When profits fall, the firms will not be interested in providing safe working conditions to its employees because it will increase their cost of production reducing profits further. Thus, protectionist policies can lead to fewer jobs, lower wages or poor working conditions for the firm.

I am trying to understand the Opportunity cost. Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get Economics, I really need help. Yo
sesenic [268]
<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>

It is ultimately up to the buyer to avoid fraud.

That statement is True

Frauds are gonna exist, no matter what country you're in

No matter how many frauds are there that exist around, if you're smart enough to recognize it , you won't fall into the fraud

Otherwise, no matter how hard the Governments' work to reducing the amount of frauds around you, if you're unaware and gullible, there's a pretty high chance you're gonna fall to one

Suppose that the market portfolio is equally likely to increase by 24% or decrease by 8%. Security "X" goes up on average by 29%
Alex

Answer:

The expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Since the return of security Z remains at 4% despite the change in the market, security Z is the risk-free asset.

Note that a risk free asset is an asset which its returns does not change with change in the market.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula, we have:

Er = Rf + (B * MPR) ............................................ (1)

Where;

ER = Expected return = ?

Rf = Risk-free rate = Rate of return of security z = 4%

B = Beta = 0.8

MPR = Market risk premium = Expected return on the market rate - Risk-free rate

Expected return on the market rate = (50% * 24%) + (50% *(-8%)) = 8%

Therefore, we have:

MPR = 8% - 4% = 4%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have

Er = 4% + (0.8 * 4%)

Er = 0.072, or 7.2%

Therefore, the expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.
