Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
Suppose there is pessimism in an economy because of corporate scandals, international tensions, loss of confidence, etc. This is going to adversely affect the economy. Because of corporate scandals, the investment will decline. Loss of confidence in consumers will cause a reduction in consumption spending. International tensions cause net exports to decline.
All of this causes aggregate demand to decline. The aggregate demand curve moves to the left. This leftward shift causes both the quantity of output and price to fall. As output fall real GDP will decline as well.

Answer:
Option (B) 5.5%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question :
Factor Risk premium
Factor 1 5%
Factor 2 3%
Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4
Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5
Expected return = 14%
Now,
Expected return
= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)
or
14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)
or
14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )
or
Risk free rate = 5.5%
Hence,
Option (B) 5.5%
