Answer:
D) Markets allocate goods effectively.
Explanation:
The two main principles of capitalism are that individuals are rational and act according to their best self interest, and markets will allocate goods and service more efficiently than governments.
In this case, the stores ran out of batteries and flashlights due to a sudden increase in the demand, but since the stores make a profit by selling batteries and flashlights, they immediately replenished their stocks and were able to satisfy all the customers' needs.
If the stores would have needed government permission for replenishing their inventories, they would have never done it so fast and so efficiently.
Answer:
1.
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
r stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%
Explanation:
The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital asset pricing model equation. The formula for required rate of return under this model is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
- r represents the required rate of return
1.
The beta of the market is always considered to be 1. Thus, the required rate of return on market would be,
r market = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
For a stock whose beta is 1.0, the required rate of return would be same as that for market. So, the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.0 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
The required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.7 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1.7 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%
the industry a set of offerings belongs to.
Answer:
<u>A and B are correct</u>
Explanation :
- The TVM concept is based on the value of money which is today may change with time as a rise or fall in prices thus this explains why the interest rates are paid and calculated on the basis of the present values that may change such as future sum of money of cash flows, can get discontinued at the discounted rates.
- Future values can be ascertained based on the present value of the product/assert. Thus the interest rates and inflation rates change as the risks and the consumer's needs will always be present and have existed earlier.
- It's calculated by the present value and future value of money multiplied by the interest rate and the total number of years. I.e
- FV = PV x [ 1 + (i / n) ] (n x t)
