Answer:

The correct option is a.

Explanation:

In the question, it is given that there are two firms namely U and L who has same same amounts of assets, investor supplied material, and Return on investor capital.

The Firm U is unleveraged which has 100% equity

whereas,  Firm L is leveraged firm which has 50% debt and 50% equity

As we have to compare these two firms based on return on equity.

So, based on ROE, Firm U has 100% equity so it have more equity

And, the Firm L have 50% equity which means the firm has low equity as 50% contribution is gone to the debt.

The rest information which is given in the question is irrelevant. So, it is ignored.

Thus, the Firm L has a lower ROE than Firm U

Hence, the correct option is a.

If you had a choice how much are you willing to pay per month to have access to and use the various social media platforms?​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: $10 per month

Explanation:

$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.

I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.

Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.
