b. The past realized return must be equal to the expected future return.
c. The required return must equal the realized return.
d. The expected return must be equal to both the required future return and the past realized return.
e. If the expected future return is less than the most recent past realized return, then stocks are most likely to decline.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

the u.s. census bureau produces data on the population and economy nationwide. it can you to analyze the kind of people living in your neighborhood. it does not show you the market of people willing to buy your product or an existing market for your product. that will require more market research. the census bureau only gives you an insight to the demographics in your area.

i might look it up later.
