Answer:

Linda money gained the most value during their time period.

Explanation:

Peter is a habitual gamer -  Inflation  

Melissa chooses to begin her own - later - Price Stability  

Linda postpones - down - Deflation  

A reliable ascent in costs is swelling, a reduction is flattening practically no change implies value solidness.  

Expansion diminishes the estimation of cash while price Stability will implies no adjustments in the genuine estimation of cash.

Southern Wear stock has an expected return of 15.1 percent. The stock is expected to lose 8 percent in a recession and earn 18 p
kari74 [83]

Answer:

15.26%

Explanation:

Given:

Expected return = 15.1% = 0.151

Expected loss in recession = - 8% = - 0.08   [negative sign depicts loss]

Expected earning in a boom = 18% = 0.18

Probabilities of a recession = 2% = 0.02

Probabilities of a normal economy = 87% = 0.87

Probabilities of a boom = 11% = 0.11

Now,

Expected return = ∑ (Probability × Return)

or

0.151 = 0.02 × ( - 0.08) + 0.11 × 0.18 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

0.151 = - 0.0016 + 0.0198 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

0.151 - 0.0182  = 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

Return on normal economy = 0.1526

or

= 0.1526 × 100%

= 15.26%
