Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
A positive or explanatory statement in the humanities and psychology is about what "is," "was" or "will be," and does not involve any impression of acceptance or rejection.
The positive explanation is supported by empirical evidence. For eg, "A rise in taxes would lead to less usage" and "A decrease in fuel production would cause an increase to its value."
Positive assumptions are commonly used to explain the observable, such as the inflation rate in a country. These are primarily used to explain hypotheses and principles.
Answer:
B. the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Eg1: If I like Chapati more than rice & rice more than curd, the opportunity cost of consuming chapati is the next best option i.e rice.
Eg2 : Working as school teacher with salary 20000, next best option salary as coaching tutor i.e 10000 is the Opportunity Cost
A is inapt : Opportunity cost can be monetary or non monetary. Eg2 has monetary opportunity cost. But, Eg 1 has opportunity cost in terms of rice' (sacrifised) satisfaction.
C is inapt : Opportunity cost is only the cost of next best alternative & not all alternatives. Eg1 - Curd i.e 3rd best option after chapati, is not the opportunity cost after chapati.

Explanation:
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Amount invested in stocks 5,000 X 0.60 = 3,000
After one year gains 9%
3,000 X ( 1 + 0.09) = 3,270
After second year loses 4%
3,270 X ( 1 - 0.04) = 3,139.2 amount after second year
So Stocks gained 139.2 ( 3139.2 - 3000)
Amount of saving account
5,000 X 0.40 = 2,000
After 2 years
2,200 X ( 1 + 0.049)^(2) = 2,200.802
So gained 200.802 (2200.802 - 2000)
Total amount after 2 years
3,139.2 + 2,200.802 = 5,340.002
Gained 340.002 (5340.002 -5000)
