Answer:
c) Without additional information, we cannot be certain whose portfolio beta is greater.
Explanation:
When comparing portfolios of the same security composition but different weights we need to know the beta of each security in order to make a valid comparism between the two securities.
Beta is defined as a measure of the volatility of a security compared to the whole market. It considers the systemic risk and the expected returns from a security or portfolio.
In determining beta we compare against a particular benchmark.
Since more information is not given on the securities and their weights in the two portfolios we cannot determine which one has a higher beta.
A. Adam Smith, Father of Modern Economics," believed that competition is a regulatory force. He argues that keeps self-interest at bay by restraining the ability to take advantage of consumers.
B. Friedrich Von Hayek, often called F.A. Hayek, believed that less government intervention gives people more economic freedom. He wrote about it in his pamphlet, "Economic Freedom and Representative Government."

Answer: aggregate demand; left; lower; lower; higher
Explanation:
If the economy is initially in equilibrium at full employment real GDP (QN), and a stock market crash reduces household wealth and lowers investor confidence, ceteris paribus, the (aggregate demand) curve will shift to the (left) resulting in a (lower) price level (P), (lower) output/real GDP level (Q), and (higher) unemployment level (U).
It should be noted that the crash in the stock market will lead to lesser funds in the economy and lessee funds with households and this will lead to reduction in the demand for goods which will shift the demand curve to the left.
aggregate demand; left; lower; lower; higher
Answer:
The inventory would be increased by $55,283 and the profit has been decreased by the same amount.
Explanation:
The reason is that the closing inventory has been increased by the difference of the correct and incorrect amount which is:
Closing inventory difference = $225,513 - $170,230 = $55,283
This will increase the closing inventory in the balance sheet and the increase in the closing inventory will decrease the cost of goods sold. The lower the cost of goods sold the greater is the profit.
