Answer:
increase short-run aggregate supply.
Explanation:
Given that energy is an important part of the production process. It is often considered to be the next in line after labor, thereby having a significant effect on the economy's aggregate supply of real production.
Hence, a decrease in energy prices will decrease the production cost and in turn lead to an increase in short-run aggregate supply, thereby making the SRAS curve shift rightward.
This is because a decrease in energy prices will make it possible for companies to increase their supply of real production at a cheaper cost
Answer:
the portfolio's return will be Ep(r)= 9.2 %
Explanation:
if the stock lies on the security market line , then the expected return will be
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf)
where
Ep(r) = expected return of the portfolio
rf= risk free return
E(M) = expected return of the market
β = portfolio's beta
then
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf)
E(M) = (Ep(r) - rf ) / β + rf
replacing values
E(M) = (Ep(r) - rf ) / β + rf
E(M) = ( 17.2% - 3.2%) /1.4 + 3.2% = 13.2%
since the stock and the risk free asset belongs to the security market line , a combination of both will also lie in this line, then the previous equation of expected return also applies.
Thus for a portfolio of β=0.6
Ep(r) = rf + β*( E(M)- rf) = 3.2% + 0.6*(13.2%-3.2%) = 9.2 %
Ep(r)= 9.2 %
Answer:
$2,466,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Cash Received = $1,600,000
Mortgage assume by purchaser = $950,000
Broker's commission = $75,000
points paid by seller = $9,000
Peyton's amount realized:
= Cash Received + Mortgage assume by purchaser - broker's commission - points paid by seller
= $1,600,000 + $950,000 - $75,000 - $9,000
= $2,466,000
Therefore, the amount realized by Peyton is $2,466,000.
