Answer:
beta of stock B = 1.33
Explanation:
the beta of treasury bills is 0
the beta of stock A = 1.46
the beta of stock B = ?
the portfolio contains equal amounts of each investment and its overall beta is 0.93
0.93 = (0 x 1/3) + (1.46 x 1/3) + (B x 1/3)
0.93 = 0 + 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.93 = 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.4433 = 0.333B
B = 0.4433 / 0.333 = 1.33
477,202 are the projected sales after year 10.

This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
Answer: Option C
Explanation: In simple words, expenditures refers to the outflow of resources by an organisation for creating some service or good.
In the given case, the fund operated by the city of crescent billed them $30,000 and this outflow of money is made with the objective of providing support to the other departments.
Hence from the above we can conclude that this is an expenditure.
