Answer:

A person’s income may drop

Explanation:

Inflation is the continuous and widespread increase in prices over a given period of time. When inflation occurs, people's salaries must be corrected together. For example, if inflation is 5% per year, wages must increase by at least 5%, otherwise the person's purchasing power will be reduced, which means that the person's income has decreased. This is because with the same salary, the person can buy a smaller amount of inflated goods and services. For example, if with my salary I buy 10 fruits and an inflation of 10% occurs, but my salary does not increase, I will be able to buy only 9 fruits and not 10 more.

Stock A has the following returns for various states of the economy:

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.12.7%

Explanation:

Expected return: It is used to calculate the expected value of the formula

In this question, the formula should be used which is shown below:

Expected return = Return of portfolio × Probability of portfolio

So,

For Recession, the expected return would be equal to

= -72 × 9% = -6.48%

For below average, the expected return would be equal to

= -15 × 16% = -2.4%

For average, the expected return would be equal to

= 16 × 51% = 8.16%

For above average, the expected return would be equal to

= 35 × 14% = 4.9%

For boom, the expected return would be equal to

= 85 × 10% = 8.5%

Now, do the sum of all states of the economy, so that the solution can arrive.

So, the answer would be

= -6.48% + (-2.4%) +8.16% +4.9% + 8.5%

= 12.68% round off = 12.7%

Thus, the Stock A's expected return is 12.7%

And, the correct answer is b.12.7%
