To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.

     x + 50 = (3/2)(x)

Simplifying the equation,
   x + 50 = 3x/2
  x - 3x/2 = -50
   -x/2 = -50

Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100. 

To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
    y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140

<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>

the​ risk-free rate is 3​% and you believe that the​ S&amp;P 500's excess return will be 10​% over the next year. If you invest
horrorfan [7]

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%
