Answer: C. The beta coefficient of a stock is normally found by regressing past returns on a stock against past market returns. One could also construct a scatter diagram of returns on the stock versus those on the market, estimate the slope of the line of best fit, and use it as beta. However, this historical beta may differ from the beta that exists in the future.
Explanation:
The beta coefficient is used by an economic entity to measure how volatile an individual stock is when such stock is being compared to the market's systematic risk.
Of the options given in the question, the correct answer is option C which states that "C.

Answer:
a M1 would not change.
Explanation:
the checkable deposits are part of M1 as well as the currency and coins. Therefore, a component of M1 decrease (currency) while another of M1 (checkable deposits) increase.
As the banking system works with a 100-percent required reserve there is no multiplier effect from the deposit therefore M1 do not change.
The U.S. government should not have bailed out U.S. auto manufacturers.
Explanation:
- After the inflation period during the 1930, which continued almost for the next 30 years, America increased its standard of living - payment of higher taxes. With an income that was to be paid to government and to be used for their living, Americans had a tough time for almost 10 years to come out of the inflation they faced. Recession was also a part of this period during Hoover's presidency.
- Later, when Roosevelt was elected, his new ideals changed the phase of America which did not let the government stick to basic infrastructure of America. In this period, people of America unanimously agreed for the bailout of auto manufacturers with which, they earned revenue for other sector's development.
- In 2009, when the contract with General Motors was disintegrated, which was created during the time of World War II, the government of America did not want to take any risk/was not ready to face an economic hit. This eventually led for a bail out.
- With this step, in that period of time, it is an economically positive statement.
