A managed portfolio has a standard deviation equal to 26% and a beta of .9 when the market portfolio's standard deviation is 22%. The adjusted portfolio P* needed to calculate the M2 measure will have invested in the managed portfolio and the rest in T-bills. A. 84.6%
B. 118%
C. 18%
D. 15.4%

118%

Explanation:

Calculation for the M2 measure invested in the managed portfolio

Using this formula

M2 measure invested in the managed portfolio=Managed portfolio standard deviation standard deviation/Market portfolio's standard deviation

Let plug in the formula

M2 measure invested in the managed portfolio=26%/22%

M2 measure invested in the managed portfolio=118%

Therefore the adjusted portfolio P* needed to calculate the M2 measure will have 118% invested in the managed portfolio and the rest in T-bills

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
