According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), correctly priced securities:

miskamm [114]

Answer:

A) have zero alphas

Explanation:

Stock's alpha show show much they have over or under performed in relation to similar peer stocks. But if the stocks were correctly priced, then alpha should be 0 since no variation, either positive or negative should occur. Alpha basically measures the error in the stock's valuation. It is always better to have positive alphas because if you make a mistake then hopefully is in your favor, but alphas can also be negative and that equals unexpected losses.

This is why the CAPM model only considers beta in its calculation.

Taya2010 [7]

The answer is D. a debit to accounts payable and a credit to notes payable. This is because Cory issued a note to his creditor as a promise that he will pay the creditor. With this, he will be gaining a Notes Payable, or a promissory note stating that he will pay, and will be losing an Accounts Payable. So according to the rules of accounting, if a liability is debited, then it will be lessened from the books of the business. If a liability is credited, however, then it will be added to the records of the business.
