Answer:

The risk will be reduced by 0.109

Explanation:

Standard deviation for stock A = 49%

Standard deviation for stock B = 49%

Correlation = 0.2

Let's use the standard deviation of portfolio equation:

= \sqrt{w_A^2 \sigma _A^2 + w_B^2 \sigma _B^2 + 2w_A w_B \sigma _A \sigma _B * C}

Wherew_B = 100% - 56% = 44%

= \sqrt{(0.56^2 * 0.49^2) + (0.44^2 * 0.49^2) + (2*0.56*0.44*0.49*0.49)0.2}

= 0.381 = 38.1%

The risk will be reduced by:

(0.56*0.49)+(0.44*0.49)-0.381

= 0.109

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We were informed from the question that;

BEFORE; the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle.

AFTER; After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax).

✓✓The amount of tax on wine = $6 - $3 = $3 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on consumers = The amount paid after tax - The amount paid before tax

= $6 - $4

=$2 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on Producers = Price received before tax - price received after tax

= $4 - $3

=$1 per bottle

Hence, The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $3 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $1 per bottle.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers(FALSE)

This is false, since the The tax burden on Producers is $1 per bottle while that of The tax burden on consumer is $2 per bottle.

Suppose the United States removes the sugar quotas and the market price of sugar drops. Since sugar is an input in chocolate, we
8090 [49]

Answer:

The consumer surplus will definitely increase.

Explanation:

The reason is that the manufacturers have purchased the sugar at a high price and now it is available at a lower price. So this means that the price of chocolate must decrease in the market if the price of material input is fallen. But the chocolate prices will take time to fall and as the result the customer is willing to pay lower prices but he is forced to pay more because the manufactured chocolates include sugar which was bought at a higher price. So the consumer surplus will increase.
