Answer:

9.75%

4.2%

Explanation:

Given:

Stock index portfolio = 70% = 70/100 = 0.70

Risk free asset = 30% = 30/100 = 0.30

Return on the risk-free asset = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

Return on the stock index = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12

Standard deviation (Return on the stock index) = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Computation of expected return on the portfolio:

Expected return = [Risk free asset × Return on the risk-free asset ] + [Stock index portfolio × Return on the stock index ]

= [0.3 × 4.5] + [0.7 × 12]

= [1.35 + 8.4]

= 9.75%

Computation of expected standard deviation of the portfolio:

Expected standard deviation = [Stock index portfolio × Standard deviation (Return on the stock index)]

= 0.7× 6

= 4.2%

Suppose business decision makers become more optimistic about the future and, as a result, increase their investment spending by
Art [367]

Answer:

$80 million

Explanation:

We know that

Multiplier = (1) ÷ (1 - marginal propensity to consume)

                = (1) ÷ (1 - 0.75)

                = (1) ÷ (0.25)

                = 4

Now the GDP would increase by

= Increase in  Investment spending × multiplier effect

= $20 billion × 4

= $80 million increase

We simply multiplied the investment spending increase with the multiplier effect
