The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio
The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,
The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31 - 1 * 1 = 25.2
The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,
Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20
Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31

E To prevent dumping
Explanation:
There are several arguments that are given to support trade barriers; one of which is to prevent dumping.

Where a country permits importation of goods that are produced locally, such action could being down the efforts of local production ; hence local industries might not thrive in terms of production.
Also, placing embargo on the importation of goods that are produced locally in a country would take away the possibility of making the country for dumping ground in terms of goods that are not up to standard, produced in a foreign country and same would have been imported.

Surnum's exchange rate is pegged.
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which a countrie's currency is exchanged for another. Usually when there is more demand for a countrie's currency it will have more value than other currencies and vice versa.
There are two ways a countrie's currency rate can be controlled in relation to others.
First is by market forces of demand and supply.
Secondly is by pegging the countrie's currency against another and using reserves of the other currency to account for market fluctuations.
In this instance Surnum has pegged it's currency against the dollar, so it will use its dollar reserves to account for fluctuations in order to maintain the pegged exchange rate.
