(b) 18,1%
Explanation:
To calculate the required rate of return for an assets it's necessary to use the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model which considers these variables to estimate the required return of an assets, the model states the next:
ER = Rf + Bix( ERm - Rf )
ER : Expected Return of Investment
Rf : Risk-Free Rate
Bi : Beta of the Investment
ERm : Expected Return of the Market
(Erm-Rf) : Market Risk Premium
It tries to explain the relationship between the systematic risk ((Erm-Rf Market Risk Premium) of the market and the expected returns for assets.

Answer:
5,110,000 and 5,170,000.
Explanation:
earnings per share EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average of outstanding shares
- 4,800,000 at the beginning of the year
- 200,000 issued April 1 = 200,000 x 9/12 = 150,000
- 480,000 issued September 1 = 480,000 x 4/12 = 160,000
weighted average outstanding shares = 4,800,000 + 150,00 + 160,000 = 5,110,000
diluted shares = ($6,000,000 / $1,000) x 40 x 3/12 = 60,000
diluted EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average of outstanding shares + diluted shares)
weighted average of outstanding shares + diluted shares = 5,110,000 + 60,000 = 5,170,000 shares
Answer: Rarely if ever
Explanation:
In an economy resources are limited while human wants are unlimited. So resources must be used in a way that maximum consumer wants can be met efficiently. In an economy when resources are allocated efficiently it is rarely possible to make some else better off without making someone else worse off. That is it is rarely possible to increase performance of some without sacrificing on some other dimension.
