Answer:

please refer to attachment for more explanation

Explanation:

a. a. Since both goods are complementary goods an increase in the price of cream cheese would cause equilibrium price and quantity of bagel to decrease.

b. If the price of the substitute good croissant decreases then the demand for bagel will fall since croissant is obviously cheaper therefore demand curve will shift downward and price and quantity will fall.

c. Lower income of the consumer would make the demand for the inferior good bagel to rise. Demand curve will shift upwards and price and quantity will rise.

Alik [6]

Answer:

All answers are correct except Money Supply

Explanation:

Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government spending and taxes. Government may increase taxes to increase revenue or discourage the consumption of a product. On the flipside, they may reduce taxes to stimulate spending, redistribute income, increase aggregate demand among other objectives.

Money supply is a monetary policy and it is used by the central bank to achieve certain objectives (reduce inflation, stimulate growth, increase demand, etc.)

Government spending is a fiscal policy that government uses to achieve a set of objectives (i.e. to supply goods and services that are not provided by the market or private sector – construct bridges, provide health facilities, social programmes for the poor among others).

Taxes – Tax is a fiscal policy tool used by the government to generate revenue, encourage or discourage the consumption of certain products or affect aggregate demand through income redistribution.  

Trade policy could be in the form taxes (i.e. tariffs, import duties, custom duties among others). Trade policy is a fiscal policy as government can use it to control aggregate demand by placing embargo on the importation of certain products to reduce the demand of such products in the local economy.

A portfolio is comprised of two stocks. Stock A comprises 65% of the portfolio and has a beta of 1.21. Stock B has a beta of .95
Lapatulllka [165]

If a  portfolio is comprised of two stocks. Stock A comprises 65% of the portfolio and has a beta of 1.21. The portfolio beta is 1.119.

<h3>Portfolio beta</h3>

Using this formula

Portfolio beta=(Stock A portfolio×beta)+[(1-Stock A porfolio)× Stock B beta]

Let plug in the formula

βp = (.65 × 1.21) + [(1 - .65) × .95]

βp = (.7865) + [.35 × .95]

βp= .7865+ .3325

βp = 1.119

Therefore the portfolio beta is 1.119.

Imagine that you want to open a doggy-daycare business. Give an example of a human risk, a natural risk, and an economic risk as
Lostsunrise [7]

Human risks are anything a person could do to make you lose money or do poorly like cancelling appointments last minute and leaving negative online reviews.

Natural risks are forces of nature that could cause problems such as if a storm floods the doggy day care.

Economic risks are changes in the economy, so if there is a recession more people will stop wanting to pay for doggy daycare to save their money.

Assume that Waterland and Aquataste make a nonbinding, informal agreement that each will produce 250 gallons of water, charge $1
Katen [24]

Answer:

If Aquataste sticks to the agreement, Waterland has an incentive to renege on the agreement by producing 350 gallons because Waterland’s profits would then increase from $375 to $525.

Explanation:

If Waterland and Aquataste both produce 250 gallons each and charge $1.50 per gallon.

There would be 500 gallons in total, and the total revenue would be

$1.50 × 500 = $750

which when shared equally between Waterland and Aquataste would result in each of them getting $375 each.

But if Aquataste sticks to the agreement, Waterland has an incentive to renege on the agreement by producing 350 gallons, still charging $1.50 and Waterland’s profits would then be

$1.50 × 350 = $525

Hope this Helps!!!

Serhud [2]

Answer:

c. The beta of the portfolio is lower than the lowest of the three betas.

Explanation:

As for any investment portfolio, with number of investments, each investment has its own beta.

When we compute the beta for entire portfolio, the beta is based on weighted average of investments.

Under the weighted average method there are weights assigned on the basis of value of individual investment, out of total value of investment.

Thus, the beta for portfolio, can never be less than the least beta of any individual investment in a portfolio.
