Trade offs are something in which there are two things and we choose one of them according to our own preference or need. This is and should be our personal decision, but when Corporations and Governments decide on what to choose between two things, there would might be a negative impact on someone's life. He might feel controlled by the corporations and governments. For example, if corporations of CNG decides with the government that it is better for consumers to use CNG than Petrol in their cars, and lowers taxes on CNG and encourage consumers to shift towards CNG, then this trade off will have an impact of being controlled by the big giants.

Explanation:
<em>A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The return on a portfolio is the weighted average of all the return of the individual assets weighted according to the percentage of total funds allocated to each assets.</em>
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb)
Wa = 56% , Wb = 100-56 = 44%
Ra = 12%, Rb = 24%
E(R) = (0.56*24%) + (0.44× 12%)
= 18.7%
