Answer:
16.96%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 5.8% + 1.8 × (12% - 5.8%)
= 5.8% + 1.8 × 6.2%
= 5.8% + 11.16%
= 16.96%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium

Explanation:
A simplified employee pension (SEP) retirement plan can be set up by an employer or by someone that is self-employed. The employer benefits from the SEP because his contributions are tax deductible. The employer's contributions to SEP individual retirement accounts is completely discretionary, they don't have to follow a fixed rate or amount. The contributions must be equally proportional to all full time employees. The main advantage of a SEP plan is that it is very simple to set up.
Answer:
The expected excess return will be 11.4%
Explanation:
The S&P 500's excess return is the market return (rM). Using the CAPM model or the SML approach, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on the stock we are investing in.
The expected rate of return is,
r = rRF + β * (rM - rRF)
Thus, return on the invested stock will be:
r = 0.03 + 1.2 * (0.1 - 0.03)
r = 0.114 or 11.4%
Answer:
D. Date Accounts and Explanation Debit Credit Interest Expense 21,385 Discount on Bonds Payable 235 Cash 21,150
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Interest expense $21,385
To Discount on bond payable $235
To Cash $21,150
(Being the interest expense is recorded)
The computation is given below:
The interest expense is
= $470,000 ÷ 100 × 91 × 10% ÷ 12 months × 6 months
= $21,385
The cash is
= $470,000 × 9% ÷ 12 months × 6 months
= $21,150
And, the remaining balance is credited to discount on note payable
We simply debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it reduced the assets plus the remaining amount is credited to discount on bond payable
Answer:
a. shortage at the former equilibrium interest rate. This shortage would lead to a rise in the interest rate.
Explanation:
The equilibrium in the market for loanable funds is achieved when the quantities of loans that borrowers want are the same as the quantity of savings that savers provide. The interest rate adjusts to make these equal.
