Answer:
11.86%
Explanation:
Piedmont hotels can be described as an all-equity company
Its stock has a beta of 0.82
The market risk premium is 6.9%
The risk free rate is 4.5%
The adjustment is 1.7%
Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows
Required rate of return= Risk free rate of return + ( beta×market risk premium) + adjustment
= 4.5% + (0.82×6.9%) + 1.7%
= 4.5% + 5.658 + 1.7%
= 11.86%
Hence the required rate of return for the project is 11.86%
Answer:
it does not measure quality-of-life factors ; it does not account for distribution of wealth ; it fails to measure non monetary (home production) activities
Explanation:
Real GDP is the total value of goods & services produced in an economy, during a period of time. But it is not correct measure of welfare level.
- It does not measure non monetary production, like hobby production eg kitchen gardening, self made paintings, music. But, they increase welfare
- It does not take into consideration the qualitative factors affecting welfare like pollution, crime & literacy. Externalities cause extra benefit or harm to welfare level, but are excluded from GDP.
- Inequitable distribution of per capita (average) GDP increases rich poor standard of living divide. So, the distribution effect ignored make GDP an inapt measure of average welfare level.
Real GDP adjusts the value of goods & services for price change (Inflation), it is a correct measure of increase in real flow of goods & services. GDP & health positive correlation is a favouring point for GDP as a measure of welfare. So, these options are incorrect.
