Answer and Explanation:
a. Here it is reasonable to presume that the treasury bond generates high returns when there is a recession.
b. The calculation of the expected rate of return and the standard deviation for each investment is shown below:
For stocks
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (29% × 0.30) + (18% × 0.50) + (-4% × 0.20)
= 8.7% + 9% - 0.80%
= 16.9%
For bonds
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (6% × 0.30) + (9% × 0.50) + (16% × 0.20)
= 1.8% + 4.5% + 3.2%
= 9.5%
Now the standard deviation calculation is to be shown in the excel spreadsheet
For the stock it is 11.48%
And, for the bond it is 3.5%
c. The investment that should be prefer could be computed by determine the coefficient of variation which is shown below:
Formula i.e. used is
= Standard deviation ÷ expected return
For stock, it is
= 16.9% ÷ 11.48%
= 1.47
And, for bonds it is
= 9.5% ÷ 3.5%
= 2.71
Since for the bonds the coefficient of variation is greater so the same is to be considered
Therefore the bond should be prefer

There are approximately 1 billion people living in India. Only about 200 million of these people earn more than the equivalent of $1,000 per year. According to Maslow's hierarchy, most of the other 800 million Indian consumers are primarily addressing their __________ needs.
a. social
b. esteem
c. psychological
d. physiological
e. Personal
<u>Answer:</u>
According to Maslow's hierarchy, most of the other 800 million Indian consumers are primarily addressing their physiological needs.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' offers a five-stage design of the impulses following human behavior. At the base of this hierarchy endure our primary, survival-ensuring necessities, which Maslow pointed to as our physiological needs. If certain needs are not convinced the human body cannot function optimally.
The primary physiological needs are fairly apparent—these cover the items that are essential to our survival. To progress over the other stages of the hierarchy, we necessity primary perform these primary needs.
Answer:
500
Explanation:
please find attached the table referred to in this question and a second table where marginal cost is included
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
in a perfect competition, price = marginal cost = marginal revenue
Marginal cost = total cost 2 - total cost 1
e.g. marginal cost at 2 units of output = $7 - $2 = $5
Hank and Helen would supply at the point where marginal cost is equal to $5.
looking at the second attached table, there are two points where marginal cost is equal to $5. at output 1 and output 5.
at output one, Hank and Helen would be earning a loss because total cost is greater than total revenue. so they would not supply at this point.
at output five, Hank and Helen would earn a profit and thus would supply at 5 units of output.
Since all firms face and identical cost structure, the industry supply would be 100 x 5 = 500 pounds
