Answer:

a. The return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%

b. The alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%

Explanation:

The formula for computing the return by Capital Assets Pricing Method (CAPM) model.

Expected return = Risk Free rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium)

where,

Market risk premium = market return - risk free rate

Now, putting the values in the above equation

a. Expected return = 0.06 + 1.4 × (0.102 - 0.06)

= 0.06 + 1.4 × 0.042

= 0.06 + 0.0588

= 0.1188

= 11.88 %

Thus, the return predicted by CAPM for a portfolio with a beta of 1.4 is 11.88%.

b. The alpha should be = Portfolio expected return - expected return

                                      = 8.20 - 11.88 %

                                      = -3.68%

Thus, the alpha of portfolio A is -3.68%

Charra [1.4K]
 in this case, identical changes in autonomous consumption and autonomous government spending: <span> have different effects on equilibrium income

When a factor is implemented and have two different reaction, it is safe to assume that that factor have two different effects.
For example, an increasing interest in technology(autonomous consumption) may increased the investment for tech products. The government spending may not give as much influence in this context because it wont affect the transaction between the customers and the producer

Michael porter says that companies gain a competitive advantage by giving customers __________.
Delicious77 [7]

That companies gain a competitive advantage by giving customers focus, cost leadership, and differentiation

<h3>What is competitive advantage?</h3>

A firm seeks a competitive advantage when it aims to surpass its rivals in terms of profitability. An organization must be able to communicate to its chosen target market that it has a higher comparative or differential value than its rivals in order to establish and retain a competitive advantage. For instance, a business is likely to have a competitive advantage if it advertises a product at a lower price than a similar product from a rival. The same holds true if the marketed item is more expensive but has special characteristics that buyers are ready to pay for.

The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analytical technique is credited to Albert Humphrey at the Stanford Research Institute. Porter's Five Forces is an alternative model that helps businesses understand their position within a competitive landscape.
