Answer:
2.21
Explanation:
Portfolio beta = Respective beta*Respective weight
<em>Beta of market=1;Beta of risk-free assets=0</em>
1.28 = (0.25*0) + (0.31*1) + (0.44*Beta of Stock B)
1.28 = 0 + 0.31 + 0.44*Beta of Stock B
1.28 - 0.31 = 0.44*Beta of Stock B
Beta of Stock B = 0.97/0.44
Beta of Stock B = 2.204545454545455
Beta of Stock B = 2.21

The Phillip curve submits that high inflation is the cost to pay for economic growth. economic growth is accompanied by low unemployment. In the long run, there is no trade-off between inflation and unemployment.
An increase in expected inflation leads to an upward shift of the Phillips curve in the short run. Unemployment would stay unchanged. While a decrease in expected inflation leads to a downward shift of the Phillips curve
Stagflation in the 1970s have disproved the Phillips curve. Stagflation is when there is high unemployment and high inflation
