Answer:
a. Increase the direct costs of the state's debt.
Explanation:
When a bond's rating is downgraded is a signal to the investors that investing in the bond now is riskier than it was prior to the rating downgrade, hence, a perceived higher risk using the risk/return relationship means that the bond issue would have to offer a higher return to entice the investors to invest in the bonds.
As a result, the higher required rate of return translates into a higher direct cost of the state's debt since their interest rate offered has increased

Answer: 1.048
Explanation:
First let us calculate the amount in Con Edison
= 50,000 - 20,000 - 12,000
= $18,000
To calculate the Portfolio Beta, you take the sum of the respective betas of the various stocks in the portfolio multiplied by their proportion in the portfolio.
Intel = 20,000/50,000
= 2/5
GE = 12,000/50,000
= 6/25
Con Edison = 18,000/50,000
= 9/25
Adding them up we will have
= (1.3*2/5) + (1*6/25) + (0.8*9/25)
= 1.048
