Answer:
a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020
b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980
Explanation:
a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.
b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.

Explanation:
Expected return of the portfolio is weighted average of the return of the components.
E(R) = w1 * R1 + w2 * R2
E(R) = 65% * 18% + 35% * 6%
E(R) = 11.70% + 2.10%
Expected Return, E(R) = 13.80%
Standard deviation of portfolio is mathematically represented as:
where
w1 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 1
w2 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 2
σ1 = Asset 1 standard deviation of return
σ2 = Asset 2 standard deviation of return
For risk free money market fund, standard deviation = 0 and its correlation with risky portfolio = 0
Standard deviation = 19.50%

Jamie Lee should call her credit card company and ask them to stop payment for the television since the company has refused to accept a return of the television.
Explanation:

Answer:
B
Explanation:
One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.
However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
