Answer:

Option (B) 5.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Factor             Risk premium

Factor 1               5%

Factor 2              3%

Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4

Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5

Expected return = 14%

Now,

Expected return

= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)

or

14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)

or

14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )

or

Risk free rate = 5.5%

Hence,

Option (B) 5.5%

Answer:

Labour hours constraint :  2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Explanation:

<em>Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.</em>

The following steps should be followed:

<em>Step 1: Define the variables</em>

a= the units of product Anchor

b=  the units of product Bearing

c= the units of product Casting

<em>Step 2: Define the constraints:</em>

The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case machine hours and direct labour hours. Since the constraint in focus is labour hours , so we only consider it.

Subject

Constraints:  Labour hours : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Non-negativity constraints a, b , c ≥ 0

Since the total available labour hours is 150 hours then the total consumption hours can either be equal to or less than 150, but can never be higher than 150.

The labour hours constraint  is represented by 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The law of demand states that quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the value of demand decreases as the price of the product increases, that is, between the value of demand and the price there is an inverse relationship, therefore, an increase in price causes a decrease in demand, and a decrease in price causes an increase in demand.  

Therefore, manufacturers who have decided to produce more should know that an increased number of goods can only be sold at a lower price.

The quantity of goods purchased depends on the price as well as on the average income of the buyers, the size of the market, the price and usefulness of other goods, including substitutes, subjective tastes and preferences of buyers.
