The rate of return for a market portfolio of risky assets is 7.00%, and its corresponding beta is 2.50. In addition, a risk-free option has a return rate of 2.00%. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), what expected rate of return (in percentage terms) should any risky asset offer?     (Round to two decimals, if necessary.)



Consider an alternative investment choice: a mutual fund whose beta is 0.6 and expected return is 2.50 percentage points higher than the market line. What is the expected return of this mutual fund? 


Suppose you purchase asset A intending to keep it for 10 years (receiving 10 total dividend payments), at which time you will sell it for the same price you purchased it for. What is the present value of the returns from that purchase?

Suppose you receive asset B for free and plan to keep it for 10 years and then sell it, at which point its value will have risen to $1,000.00. What is the present value of the return from that asset? 


a.) Assume the demand for wine in a small isolated town is P = 200 - Q. Two fims, A and B are the sole producers of the product, and they display Cournot duopolists tendencies. Both firms have a same total cost function of TCi = 40 + Qi. Find the profit maximizing output level for each firm, market price and profit for each of the firm. [10marks] b.) The Chief Executive Officer of the town intents to subsidize firm A to raise its output to that of a Stackelberg leader, how large should the subsidy be in terms of output? [7 marks] c.) What happens in a duopoly if both firms try to act as the Stackelberg leader? [4 marks] d.) Briefly explain why the intersection of the best-response functions is the Cournot equilibrium [4 marks]

SRTC = 8 + 1⁄2q2 and therefore MC = q.



If the minimum point of the short-run ATC curve for all firms(existing and potential)is also the minimum point of the long-run average cost curve (LRAC), calculate the long-run equilibrium price, market quantity, and firm quantity. What is the long-run equilibrium number of firms in the industry? [4]
