The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.

Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.

If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.

Answer:

Portfolio A and Portfolio B

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 + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) = Market risk premium

Let us assume the market risk premium be X

For Portfolio A:

21% = 8% + 1.3 × X

13% = 1.3 × X

So, the X = 10%

For Portfolio B:

17% = 8% + 0.7 × X

9% = 0.7 × X

So, the X = 12.86%

Based on the market risk premium calculations, we can conclude that Portfolio A should be in short position while Portfolio B should be in long position as portfolio B has higher market risk premium than B
