Answer:
7.6%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Global Beta × (Global Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4% + 0.90 × (8% - 4%)
= 4% + 0.90 × 4%
= 4% + 3.6%
= 7.6%
The (Global Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called global market risk premium

<u>Laggards are in the late 16 % of the cycle of adoption of the technology.</u>

Answer:
Answer is below
Explanation:
Factors that may cause the demand curve to shift outward are:
1. changes in tastes and preference: when there is a change in taste for example commodity A, whereby people tend to enjoy its taste, the will be an outward shift in the demand curve of commodity A
2. income of the consumers: when the income of consumers increases, they tend to buy more of a certain commodity they enjoy, hence there will be an outward shift in that commodity's demand curve
3. prices of substitute or complement goods: for example, an increase in the price of a substitute will cause consumers to demand more for a particular commodity, hence, outward in demand shift curve occurs
4. expectations about future conditions and prices: when there is speculation about an increase in the price of an essential commodity or goods consumers enjoy, people tend to buy more in a given moment, hence there exists an outward shift in the demand curve
5. Population of consumers in the market: increase in the population of consumers of a certain commodity is directly proportional to an increase in demand of that commodity, hence there exists an outwards shift in the demand curve.

Utility level values of each portfolio for an investor with A=2
1) 0.13 - (0.5 ×2×0.04) = 0.0900
2) 0.114 - (0.5×2×0.0256) = 0.0884
3) 0.098 - (0.5×2×0.0144) = 0.0836
4) 0.082 - ( 0.5×2×0.0064) = 0.0756
