Answer: 0.9

Explanation:

The Expected Return on an investment can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model as it is a key component in thw formula which is,

P = D1 / r - g

where,

D1 is the dividend paid next year

P is the current stock price

g is the growth rate

r is the expected return

With the given figures we have,

84 = 4.20 / r - 0.08

84 ( r - 0.08) = 4.20

r - 0.08 = 4.20/84

r = 4.20/84 + 0.08

r = 0.13

The Expected Return can be slotted into the CAPM formula to find the beta.

The CAPM formula calculates the Expected Return in the following manner,

Er = Rf + b( Rm - rF)

Where,

Er is expected return

Rf is the risk free rate

Rm is the market return

b is beta

Slotting in the figures gives,

0.13 = 0.04 + b( 0.14 - 0.04)

0.13 = 0.04 + b (0.1)

0.13 - 0.04 = 0.1b

b = 0.09/0.1

b = 0.9

Using the constant-growth DDM and the CAPM, the beta of the stock is 0.9

l economic systems (capitalist, communist, or any other) face similar economic problems. Which of the following questions would
lesya692 [45]
I would say that the question "How can markets be kept competitive" would not be important for a communist or socialist society as production would not be to meet a world capitalist market price but would be for fulfilling the basic necessities of the people like healthcare and education and food and clothing as well as for mutually beneficial trade with other countries on an equitable basis.

Rudiy27

Answer: Charge a lower price after half-time

Explanation: Law of diminishing marginal utility holds that as the consumer consumes more and more units of a commodity, the incremental satisfaction derived from the successive units begins to fall after a certain point. Thus, as marginal utility begins to fall the persons willingness to pay shall also decline for the successive units. Therefore, the seller must sell the pop-corns at a lower price after half-time.
