Answer:
the portfolio's return will be Ep(r)= 9.2 %
Explanation:
if the stock lies on the security market line , then the expected return will be
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf)
where
Ep(r) = expected return of the portfolio
rf= risk free return
E(M) = expected return of the market
β = portfolio's beta
then
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf)
E(M) = (Ep(r) - rf ) / β + rf
replacing values
E(M) = (Ep(r) - rf ) / β + rf
E(M) = ( 17.2% - 3.2%) /1.4 + 3.2% = 13.2%
since the stock and the risk free asset belongs to the security market line , a combination of both will also lie in this line, then the previous equation of expected return also applies.
Thus for a portfolio of β=0.6
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf) = 3.2% + 0.6*(13.2%-3.2%) = 9.2 %
Ep(r)= 9.2 %
Answer:
false
His purchase left GDP unchanged
Consumption of non durables would increase.
Also, net export would decrease.
these effects would cancel out
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports

Explanation:
The question is incomplete, but I figured that the question is trying to find out the correct meaning of CPI with different options provided. The correct question should be:
<em>The CPI is a measure of </em>
- <em>the overall cost of goods and services produced in the economy </em>
- <em>the overall cost of inputs purchased by a typical producer </em>
- <em>the overall cost of buying a market basket of goods and services by a typical consumer </em>
- <em>the overall cost of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange</em>
<em>Which option is correct?</em>

CPI or Consumer Price Index evaluates the average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, for instance, medical care, food, and transportation. It is evaluated by analyzing the changes in and averaging the price of each item in the basket of consumer goods and services.
The CPI is usually used especially to discover situations of inflation of deflation.
