Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas

Explanation:

The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.

For instance.

3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.

A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.

The portfolio beta will be;

= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)

= 1.98

Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.

When the economy is operating at point C, the Federal Reserve may decrease the discount rate to
brilliants [131]

Answer:

D ; increase growth

Explanation:

The discount rate is one of the tools that the Federal Reserve uses to direct monetary policy.  Banks are subject to minimum reserves requirements. If a bank falls below this minimum, it can borrow from the banks with a surplus,  or borrow from the federal reserve. If it borrows from the Fed, the interest rate that applies is the discount rate. The discount rate is always higher than the fed fund rate; hence, banks use it as a last resort.

The discount rate and the fed rate have similar effects on the economy.  The Fed uses the discount rate to regulate the money supply in the country. When the growth in slow, the fed will reduce the discount rate.  A low discount rate means the cost of borrowing money goes down. The impact is that individuals and businesses will afford to borrow money for consumption and investment.

Increased levels of investments and consumption will mean a higher GDP, which is growth.
