Estimate Goodman’s and Landry’s betas as the slopes of regression lines with stock return on the vertical axis (y-axis) and market return on the horizontal axis (x-axis). (Hint: Use Excel’s SLOPE function.) Are these betas consistent with your graph? 4. The risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 6.04%. Assume that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required return on the market using the SML equation? Risk - free weight + beta*market risk = Required

Travis Kellenberger AGEC 700 Problem Set #3 2) The demand curve for a product is given by Qdx = 1‚200-3Px- .01Pz‚ where Pz = $300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? At the given prices‚ quantity demanded is 750 units: Qdx = 1‚200- (3 *140) -.1 (300) = 750. -140/750=-.56; demand is inelastic at this price point and you would be decreasing

Problem set 3 (Answer) 7.6. A farmer uses three inputs to produce vegetables: land‚ capital‚ and labor. The production function for the farm exhibits diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution. a) In the short run the amount of land is fixed. Suppose the prices of capital and labor both increase by 5 percent. What happens to the cost-minimizing quantities of labor and capital for a given output level? Remember that there are three inputs‚ one of which is fixed. b) Suppose only the cost

The text is full of religious symbols‚ anti-realism‚ irony and a fluid language that sometimes seems meaningless. Tamara Smith writes under the assumption that the modern society cannot be explained or understood. According to certain postmodern elements any connections or controlling influences
