Explanation of Solution

Wealth:

With increase in wealth, we have more resources available to purchase assets. Holding everything else constant, an increase in wealth raises the quantity demanded of an asset.

Expected Return:

An increase in expected return of a certain asset relative to another alternative asset, holding everything else unchanged, raises the quantity of that particular asset.

Risk:

A risk averse person prefers stock which have guaranteed expected return. A risk lover invests in assets where expected return is high but not guaranteed. Holding everything else constant, if the risk of a particular asset rises relative to that of alternative assets, its quantity demanded will decrease.

Liquidity:

The more liquid an asset relative to alternative assets, holding everything constant, the more desirable it is and the greater the quantity demanded will be.
