The statement is False.

For this, it is enough to show a case in which the subtraction of two positive numbers is negative.

For this, we must choose two numbers.

Suppose we want to subtract the following numbers:

Number 1: 5

Number 2: 10

Subtracting both numbers we have:

5 - 10 = -5

We observe that the result is negative. Therefore, the given conclusion is false.

Answer:

Counterexample:

5-10 = -5

Desreumaux Inc's stock has an expected return of 12.25%, a beta of 1.25, and is in equilibrium. If the risk-free rate is 5.00%,
zhenek [66]

Answer:

MRP=\frac{12.25\% -5.00\%}{1.25}=5.8 \%

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a concept that "analyze the relationship between risk  of any type and the definition of expected return  about the assets".

By definition the Market risk premium is defined as "the difference between the average return and the return on a risk-free".

The value of  \beta represent an adimensional number that allows to measure if we create more/low risk on any investment.  

Solution to the problem

Assuming that we can use the capital asset pricing model we can calculate the market risk premium (MRP) with the following formula:

MRP= \frac{ER -RFR}{\beta}

Where:

ER= Expected return = 12.25 %

RFR= Risk free rate= 5.00%

\beta = 1.25

So then if we replace we got:

MRP= \frac{12.25\% -5.00\%}{1.25}=5.8 \%

What's the product of 3 2⁄3 and 14 2⁄5 ?
kodGreya [7K]

Here is your answer:


3 2/3 = 11/3

14 2/5 = 72/5


11 × 72 = 792

3 × 5 = 15


792/15 divided into 52\frac{12}{15}

12 ÷ 3 = 4

15 ÷ 3 = 5


"= 52 4/5 into a improper fraction is 264/5"


Hope this helps!

-4(6x+3)= -12(x+ 10)
Lilit [14]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(6x+3)= -12(x+10)

<u><em>Let's do the first part:</em></u>

-4(6x+3)

<em>**distribute**</em>

-4 x 6x = -24x; -4 x 3 = -12 ->>> -24x - 12

<u><em>Let's do the second part:</em></u>

-12(x+10)

<em>**distribute**</em>

-12 x x = -12x; -12 x 10 = -120 ->>> -12x -120

-24x -12 = -12x - 120

<em>**Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign**</em>

-24x +12x -12 = -120

-12x - 12 = -120

-12x = 108

x = 108/-12

x=9
