Answer:
Expected market return = 9.8%
Explanation:
The expected return on the market can be worked out using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
</em>
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate)- 4.4%
β= Beta - 1.20
Rm= Return on market.- ?
Applying this model, we have
11%= 4.4%+ (R-4.4%)×1.20
0.11-0.044= 1.20×(R-0.04)
0.07
= 1.20R-0.048
Collect like terms
0.07+0.048 = 1.2R
Divide both sides by 1.20
R= (0.07+0.048)/1.20
R=9.83%
Expected market return = 9.8%
Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.

Answer:
D. rightward shift in the current supply of soybeans.
Explanation:
A shift in the supply curve is caused when factors other than price either increase the supply of a good (a shift to the right), or decrease the supply of the good (a shift to the left).
In this case, a factor other than price, the expectations of farmers (they are expectations because the lower prices have not materialized) has increased the supply of soybeans, causing a rightward shift of the supply curve of that good.
