Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

<u>this</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>fo</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% <u>for</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>b</u>

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

<u>Therefore advisor a is better</u>

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

D. Market maturity

Explanation:

Over the past several years, like other auto manufacturers, General Motors (GM) has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all of its major divisions. This proliferation of SUVs and an increase in gasoline prices have caused sales to level off. In response, General Motors offered rebates of up to $5,000, or no-interest financing, on selected models of SUVs. The largest rebates went to current owners of GM vehicles, so that they would replace their current vehicles with a GM model instead of switching to another brand. The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions.

General Motors is currently operating in the Market maturity stage of production life cycle.
