Answer:
Yes, you can be confident that the portfolio will not lose more than 30% of its value next year
Explanation:
In this question , the average return of portfolio is 12.5% and the standard deviation is 19.5%. It is estimated that there will be 30% loss next year. The confidence interval is 95%.
Range = Average return ± 2 x Standard deviation Low aid = 12.5% - (2 x19.5%) =12.5% -39% = -26.5%
High end = 12.5% +(2 x19.5%) =12.5%+39% = 51.5%
Thus, the low end is
26.5%
The range of return at 95% confidence interval is -26.5% to 51.5%

Answer:
C) Output fall and prices rise
Explanation:
In an aggregate supply, aggregate demand model, price level is the Y axis, and output is the X axis. Supply is positively related with price: the higher the price, the more firms produce.
However, to produce someting, firms need to employ the factors of production: land, labor and capital. The wages firms pay to workers, and the rent firms pay for land and capital are the production costs. If these costs rise, then, the products will become more expensive.
This increase in price will be met with lower demand; less customers will be willing to purchase the product, and therefore, the firms will start producing less until reaching a new equilibrium.
