Answer:
7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.
Explanation:
Let x packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.16 each and y packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16-packet mixed pepper assortment for $3.33 per packet,
i.e. x + y = 16 ..........(1)
Also,
The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0
⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0 ........(2)
Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)
0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72
2.08y = 18.72
⇒ y = 9
From equation (1),
x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7
Hence, there are 7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Answer:
The expected excess return will be 11.4%
Explanation:
The S&P 500's excess return is the market return (rM). Using the CAPM model or the SML approach, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on the stock we are investing in.
The expected rate of return is,
r = rRF + β * (rM - rRF)
Thus, return on the invested stock will be:
r = 0.03 + 1.2 * (0.1 - 0.03)
r = 0.114 or 11.4%
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Accept the USA distributor demand. It is even better for Tetsu compared to Japan.
Explanation:
Considering both the distributors in Japan and the U.S. request a 20% margin for the retails of Tetsu's devices, accepting the offer of the U.S. company represents a good deal. Businesses are not handled the same in Japan and the U.S. Both countries have different policies. Tetsu must consider that the U.S. is a bigger market and that its devices are imported in the U.S., implying there could be tariffs imposed. Tough, if the U.S. distributor requests the same margin a Japanese distributor does to start businesses, <em>the deal will be in Tetsu's favor</em>.
