Answer:
A. Elasticity measure the change in quantity demanded that comes with a change in price. The elasticity formula is;
Elasticity = %change in quantity demanded / % change in price
0.4 = 20% / %change in price
%Change in price = 20%/0.4
= 0.5
= Increase price by 50%
= 50% * 5 = $2.50
<em>Government should increase the price by $2.50 to make it $7.50. </em>
B. Effect is larger 5 years from now
Effect will be larger 5 years from now than 1 year from now. This is because in 5 years the high prices would have forced smokers to look for more alternatives to smoking than in a year.
C. Teenagers have less income.
Teenagers likely have a higher price elasticity because they do not have the income to support an increase in the price of cigarettes so when the prices increase, they buy less than adults who are more likely to have an income stream.

Answer: 45%
Explanation:
Standard deviation for the portfolio will be a weighted average of the standard deviations of the individual assets.
Risky asset has standard deviation of 20%. Assume the weight is x.
Treasury bills have a standard deviation of 0 as they have no risk. Assume their weight is y.
Target Standard deviation is 9%.
Formula would be:
9% = (x * 20%) + (y * 0%)
20%x = 9%
x = 9% / 20%
x = 45%
