Answer:
See explaination for the details of the answer.
Explanation:
1) Increase
As business is optimistic about its future, such business will start capacity expansion to cater for consumer demand.
2) Decrease
Higher real interest rate simply means borrowing cost is higher for the firms and so that they will reduce the investment in respose to that.
3) Decrease
A lower tax means higher profits and firms can pass these benefits to consumers with lower prices, to employees with higher wages and to the government with tax on profit. However, if the rate of tax itself has been increased then in that case corporates will see higher tax as a dampener in sentiments and they might curtail investment plans.
4) Decrease
A recession means there will be lesser economic activity overall and demand will be lower so as the consumption. In such case, planned investment will be reduced.
Answer:
A.) ALPHA
Portfolio A = 8.5%
Portflio B = 13.5%
B.) Sharpe measure
Portfolio A = 0.1519
Portflio B = 0.1479
Explanation:
T- bill rate (Rf) =5%
S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%
Portfolio A;
Expected rate of return = 9.1%
Beta (B) = 0.7
Standard deviation (s) = 27%
Portfolio B;
Expected rate of return = 12.1%
Beta (B) = 1.7
Standard deviation = 48%
Required rate of return for both portfolios;
Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)
Portfolio A :
5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)
5% + 3.5% = 8.5%
Portfolio B :
5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)
5% + 8.5% = 13.5%
A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;
A = Expected return - Required return
Alpha of portfolio A :
9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%
Alpha of Portfolio B:
12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%
B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;
Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s
Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519
Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479
I will choose Portfolio A

The 4 P's:
Price - cost of the product
Product - the type of good being sold
Place - how the product will get to the consumer (store, internet, etc)
Promotion - what marketing activities will be used to communicate the product (advertising, sales, etc)
Answer: $10 per month
Explanation:
$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.
I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.
Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.
