Advantage in competition. ( competitive advantage)
Explanation: Whenever a hospital is more equipped or fully equipped with tools, machines, and any other factor that favors the saving of lives, that hospital will mostly have the upper hand in competition against it's rivals.

In critical moments like these a hospital better equipped will always be the first choice, disregarding other factors like cost. Now distance could be critical, but again, almost always if the distance is not too long then the better equipped gets the patients.

Explanation:
The SML approach is used to calculate the required rate or return (r) which is the minimum return that the investors require to invest in a company's stock. This is also referred to as the cost of equity. The formula for required rate of return under SML is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on Market
a.
r = 0.04 + 0.75 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.10 or 10%
b.
r = 0.04 + 0.9 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.112 or 11.20%
c.
r = 0.04 + 1.05 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.124 or 12.40%
d.
r = 0.04 + 1.2 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.136 or 13.60%
