Answer:
C) The invisible hand
Explanation:
Daniel here seeking to produce and increase his welfare is "led by an invisible hand" to negotiate with his suppliers and to sell goods to his neighbors in a way that everybody is better off as a result from these transactions.
This is also a clear example to what Adam Smith was referring to the invisible hand:
"in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was not part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. " Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book 4, Chapter 2
Answer:
Consider the following calculations
Explanation:
a) If the weight of risky portfolio is 'y' then weight of T-bill would be (1-y).
Expected return on clients portfolio = weight of risky portfolio x return on risky portfolio + weight of T-bill x return on T-bill
or, 15% = y x 17% + (1 - y) x 7%
or, y = 0.8
weight of risky portfolio = 0.8, weight of T-bill = 0.2
b)
Security Investment Proportions
T-bill 20% (from part a)
Stock A 80% x 0.27 = 21.6%
Stock B 80% x 0.33 = 26.4%
Stock C 80% x 0.40 = 32%
Total 100%

B. buyers bear most of the incidence of the tax.

If a tax is imposed on gasoline, the incidence (who pays for the tax) can be beqred by the consumers because they have an inelastic demand. If the price of gasoline rises , the quantity demanded doesn't change.
If the tax incidence was borne by the suppliers, the quantity supplied would drop.
