Answer: a. The y-axis intercept would decline, and the slope would increase.
Explanation:
The security market line is simply refered to as the graphical representation of a CAPM which is the capital asset pricing model and it simply shows the market risk, of the securities in the market which is then plotted against the market return.
When the expected inflation rate decreases and the investors also become more risk averse, the Security Market Line would be affected, as the y-axis intercept would decline, and the slope would increase.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The gross profit is the difference betwenethe sales revenue and the cost of good sold/manufactured
for retail companys they determinate the cost using a given inventory method like FIFO LIFO or weighted average.
Manufacturing companies will subtract from the sales revenue the cost of good manufactured which can be determinated in various ways like process, order, absorption or ABC

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.
Answer:
30.92%
Explanation:
You find the answer by calculating the cost of equity using two methods; Dividend discount model and CAPM
<u>Dividend discount model;</u>
cost of equity; r = (D1/P0) +g
whereby, D1 = next year's dividend = 3.00
P0= current price = 13.65
g = dividend growth rate = 11% or 0.11 as a decimal
r = (3/13.65) + 0.11
r = 0.2198 + 0.11
r= 0.3298 or 32.98%
<u>Using CAPM;</u>
r = risk free + beta (Market risk premium)
r = 0.049 + (2.8 * 0.0856)
r = 0.049 + 0.2397
r = 0.2887 or 28.87%
Next, find the average of the two cost of equities;
=(32.98% + 28.87% )/2
= 30.92%
To get the formula for the principal, we will use the
formula for the interest and derived it from there:
I = Prt is the equation then it will be P = I /rt since we
are looking for the principal.
P = I /rt
= $500 / (0.145 x 240/360)
= $500 / 0.0967
= $5170.63
To check:
I = Prt
= $5170.3 x 0.145 x 240/360
= $499.8 or $500
