Answer:
d. beta did a better job of explaining the returns than standard deviation
Explanation:
Beta measures the systemic risk associated with the particular investment, it do not compute the total risk associated, which is more logical.
Standard deviation computes the total risk associated.
Some risk is natural, like the risk of floods, natural calamities, earthquake, etc:
That risk shall not counted as for comparison as that is associated universally. Further, the risk associated with particular factors like bankruptcy of a company, or some legal case issue of a company are precisely described by beta coefficient.
Thus, beta provides better details about explaining the returns.

(Being bond is issued at a premium is recorded)
When the bond is issued at a premium, we debited the cash account and credited the premium on bonds payable and bonds payable account
Answer: 8.56crews
Explanation:
To get critical fractile probability SL,
We stock up the local trash collection capacity.Cost of overstocking by 1 ton =MC = 625/5 = $125Cost of understocking by 1 ton = additional cost of using outside trash pick up = MB = $650-$125 = $5
SL = Prob(RQ) = MB /( MB + MC) = 525/(125 + 525) = 0.8077 appropriate # of crews = 8.56 crews
Answer:
the net cost of debt to a firm is generally less than the cost of equity.
Explanation:
If we assume both, investor in firms and lender to firms want's a certain return x
because the lender return (the interest) are tax deductible the net cost of debt will be: x ( 1 - t)
where t is the tax rate being rate beteen 0 and 1
as 1 less a fraction will be less than 1 we can stablish that:
x > x(1 - t)
x is the cost of equity
while x(1-t) is the net cost of debt
therefore, the cost of debt is lower than cost of equity.
