Answer:

Some core ideas in behavioral economics focus on people’s propensity to do nothing, as evident in default bias and status quo bias. Inaction may be due to a number of factors, including inertia or anticipated regret. However, sometimes people have an impulse to act in order to gain a sense of control over a situation and eliminate a problem. This has been termed the action bias (Patt & Zeckhauser, 2000). For example, a person may opt for a medical treatment rather than a no-treatment alternative, even though clinical trials have not supported the treatment’s effectiveness.

The theory of consumer behavior assumes that - consumers behave rationally, attempting to maximize their satisfaction - consumer

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Consumers behave rationally, attempting to maximize their satisfaction.

Explanation:

The principle assumption upon which the theory of consumer behavior and demand is built is:

A consumer attempt to allocate their limited money income among available goods and services so as to maximize their utility (satisfaction).

Utility is described as an amount of satisfaction derived from the consumption of a commodity. Measurement units is utils.

Assume that consumers have complete information about availability, prices and utility levels of all goods and services. All bundles of goods can be ranked based on their ability to provide utility.

The theory is useful for understanding the demand side of the market.

Suppose that two things happen simultaneously in the market for fish. First, a new technology allows fishing boats to catch more

erastova [34]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Advanced technology is a determinant of supply and consumer taste & preferences is a determinant of demand.

Therefore, improvement in technology in catching fish will lead to increase the supply of fish and this will shift the supply curve rightwards. On the other hand, eating fish prevents heart attacks, hence, consumer's demand for fish increases, as a result demand curve for fish also shifts rightwards.

This will lead to increase the equilibrium quantity but effect on equilibrium price is ambiguous because it will be depend upon the magnitude of the shifts of demand and supply curve.

If a firm shuts down, it A. will earn enough revenue to cover its variable costs but not all of its fixed costs. B. will produc

____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is: C) will suffer a loss equal to its fixed costs.

Explanation:

If a company shuts down its production temporarily (not permanently), it will stop receiving revenue from the goods it used to produce but at the same time will not be spending any money on variable costs. The company will suffer losses equivalent to its fixed costs (e.g. depreciation costs, rent, etc.).

A company decides to shut down its production when the revenue it receives from selling its products doesn't even cover their variable costs. That means it is losing money by producing its goods.

You have $100,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y?

Let the weight of Stock X = x

Let the weight of Stock Y = (1 - x)

Expected return of stock X = 11.4%

Beta of stock X = 1.25

Expected return of stock Y = 8.68%

Beta of stock X = 0.85

The Portfolio Return will then be calculated as:

= (Weight of Stock X × Return of Stock X) + (Weight of Stock Y × Return of Stock Y)

0.127 = [x × 0.114 + (1 - x) × 0.0868]

0.127 = [x × 0.114 + 0.0868 - x × 0.0868]

0.127 = x × 0.0272 + 0.0868

0.127 - 0.0868 = x × 0.0272

0.0402 = 0.0272x

x = 0.402/0.0272

x = 1.4779

Weight of Stock X = 1.4779

Therefore, Weight of Stock Y will be:

= 1 - 1.4779

= -0.4779

The amount that's invested in Stock Y will be:

= $100,000 × (-0.4779)

= -$47,790

b. What is the beta of your portfolio?

Portfolio Beta will be calculated as:

= 1.4779 × 1.25 + (-0.4779) × 0.85

= 1.44
