Answer:

a. The expected return on the market is 10.89%

b. The risk-free rate is 1.52%

Explanation:

In order to calcuate the expected return on the market and the he risk-free rate we would have to use the following formulas:

Expected return=risk-free rate +Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate )

13.23=Rf+1.25*(Rm-Rf)

13.23=1.25Rm-0.25Rf

Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

To calculate the risk free rate, we use the following:

9.67=Rf+0.87*(Rm-Rf)

9.67=0.13Rf+0.87Rm

9.67=0.13Rf+0.87*(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

9.67=0.13Rf+9.20808+0.174Rf

Rf=(9.67-9.20808)/(0.13+0.174)

=1.52%(Approx)=risk free rate

Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

=10.89%(Approx)=market rate

Suppose in studying Climate Change we discover that in one country, deserts are going to be created where formerly there was grasslands and an abundance of water and in another place the coastlines are going to be altered. If you are an American, how do you think a politician is going to respond to such a problem.

Will his/her response be well thought out based on scientific preparedness, or will he (or she) grab onto the first solution suggestion to him/her and try and implement that?

Whatever he/she does, it will cost and everyone will be affected. A starting place is to find out what presidents in the past have done. During the Bush administration (the second Bush), there was an oil crisis. He responded by allocating more acreage to the growing of corn so supplementing oil production. Replaceable resources for non renewable ones. Sounded like a very good solution, but was it? As it turned out, no. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thousands of people suffered (and died) with that decision because food is much more important than solving transportation problems at the expense of food.

The same is true here. If a solution is sought for global warming, politicians have to be well aware of what they are doing. And that has to be studied very carefully.

If Project Repat were to acquire another firm that makes or sells similar products in similar markets, it would be an example of

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

b. Horizontal merger.

Explanation:

Project Repat is merging with a company that produces similar products to its own markets them in similar markets as well, this is an example of a horizontal merger that results in increased synergies between the similar firms and a greater market share opportunity.

Vertical mergers are usually not in the same industry. They would either be with the suppliers of Project Repat or customers who retail Project Repat's products.

Conglomerate is an example of diversification and usually the merging firms have different operations.

There are no information of clashes of any sort within the two merging companies so it is uncertain whether this is a hostile takeover.

Hope that helps.
