Answer:

The portfolio return is 2.35%

Explanation:

The portfolio return is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The weightage of each stock is the investment in each stock as a percentage of total investment in the portfolio. The return of a three stock portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,

rP = rA * wA  +  rB * wB  +  rC * wC

Where,

  • rA, rB & rC represents the individual stock returns
  • wA, wB & wC represents the weightage of each stock

rP = -1.53% * 0.25 + 8.07% * 0.3 + 0.7% * 0.45  

rP = 0.023535 or 2.3535% rounded off to 2.35%

An economist would be more likely to argue against reducing inflation if she thought that a. the central bank lacked credibility
Fantom [35]

Answer:

b. the central bank lacked credibility and if bonds were usually indexed for inflation.

Explanation:

Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;

1. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.

Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.

2. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.

Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.

When this persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy becomes rapid, excessive, unbearable and out of control over a period of time, it is generally referred to as hyperinflation.

In conclusion, an economist is more likely to argue against a reduction in inflation if she thought that the central bank lacked credibility and if bonds were usually indexed for inflation.

A negative externality occurs when Question 16 options: the private marginal costs are equal to the social marginal costs. the p
lana66690 [7]

When a negative externality exists, the marginal social cost is always higher than the marginal private cost. So, the correct answer is option A the private marginal costs are less than social marginal costs.

<h3><u>What is a negative externality?</u></h3>

When the manufacturing process has a negative impact on unconnected third parties, this is referred to as a negative production externality. For instance, manufacturing facilities contribute to noise and air pollution throughout the production process.

<h3><u>What happens when a negative externality exists?</u></h3>

The marginal social cost and the marginal private cost are no longer equal when a market has negative production externalities. As a result, the supply curve (which indicates the marginal private cost) does not accurately reflect the marginal societal cost and the social cost is instead larger due to the externality's per-unit cost.
