Answer:

Portfolio Return = 11.975%

Explanation:

The portfolio return is calculated by taking the weights of individual securities in a portfolio and multiplying them by the return of individual securities. The formula can be written as,

Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB

Where,

  • wA is the weight of security A
  • rA is the return on security A
  • wB is the weight of security B
  • rB is the return on security B

The risk free asset has a beta of zero.

Let the weight of risk free asset be x. The weight of risky asset is 1-x.

Portfolio beta =       0.975 =  x * 0 + (1-x) * 1.3

0.975 = 1.3 - 1.3x

0.975 - 1.3 = -1.3x

-0.325 / -1.3 = x

x = 0.25

Portfolio return = 0.25 * 0.032 + (1-0.25) * 0.149 = 0.11975 or 11.975%

Should companies be allowed to force stores to obey minimum prices? Yes or no? Explain the reason why you chose yes or no?
Viktor [21]
Yes, stores should be forced to obey minimum prices for a good or a company that is selling a service should as well. They should have to obey by this so that price competition isn't ongoing in the market. Larger producers can often charge a smaller amount for a product because they are producing them in high qualities. By charging less it gives them a competitive advantage over their competition in means of price. Unless the item is on clearance because a company is discontinuing stock of that item, they should have a set minimum as they do a set maximum they are allowed to charge for that item.

In Macroland, autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, plan
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

B) 1,160.

Explanation:

First we must calculate planned aggregate expenditures (PAE) and then determine where Y = PAE:

PAE = consumption + planned investment + government spending + net exports = 100  + 0.75(Y - 40) + 50 + 150 +20 = 100 + 0.75Y - 30 + 50 + 150 + 20 = 290 + 0.75Y

Now we must determine where Y and PAE intercept:

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y = 290

Y = 290 / 0.25 = 1,160

*Planned aggregate expenditure = total planned spending, it differs from GDP because GDP includes unplanned investment.

PAE = C + Ip + G + NX   while  GDP = C + I + G + NX

[based on the results of the simulation, can policy market interventions cause a change in consumer or producer surplus? explain
WITCHER [35]

When the intervention rises the price stage of goods, then the incentive to supply extra desires increases and consequently growing manufacturers' surplus. So policy market can motivate both client and producer surplus.

A tax causes consumer surplus and producer surplus (earnings) to fall.. some of those losses are captured inside the tax, however, there may be a loss captured with the aid of no celebration—the value of the devices that could be exchanged had been there no tax. those lost gains from trade are called deadweight losses.

For each monetary transaction, there can be both producer surplus (or profit) and client surplus. The mixture–or blended–a surplus is called the economic surplus.

Suppose there are only two producers of aircraft in the world, AirCraft in the United States and AirEurope in the European Union
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1. AirEurope should produce if it wants to maximize its profit.

2.  False

Explanation:

New payoffs after subsidy:

Aircraft/ AirEurope               Produce     Not Produce

Produce                                 -3 , <u>6</u>              75 , 0

Not Produce                          0 , 74              0 , 0

With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether Aircraft produces or not, AirEurope should<u> produce</u> if it wants to maximize its profit.

The statement is false (Aircraft would earn a negative payoff if it enters).
