Answer:

<u>Letter B is correct</u>. Will be reduced.

Explanation:

In this case, Arthur's taxes will be reduced. This situation happens according to some legal criteria.

Answer:

The expected market risk premium is 9.20%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the expected market risk premium we would have to calculate the following formula:

expected market risk premium=(Rs-Rf)/β

Rf=3.7%

β=1.28

Which of the following actions would likely raise homeowner's insurance premiums? Building the home in the floodplain of a river
natita [175]
Insurance is a coverage that assesses the risk of a certain item/person. If that item/person is in good condition, your insurance will be lower because it's less likely it'll get damaged. 
This is why if you have a bad driving history, your car insurance is high (as there is a high risk). 
If you were to instal an alarm, live in a safe neighbourhood or choose not to install a swimming pool you would actually reduce your insurance.
If you have an alarm, you are less likely to have stuff stolen (safer = less risk).
Living in a safe neighbourhood is safer = less risk.
Not installing a pool means your property remains the same value (putting a pool could increase it), higher risk of someone drowning in the pool, or hurting themselves. So by not building the pool, you'll have a safer environment = less risk.

If you build your house in a floodplain, the chance of your house getting damages by a flood is very very high, so you will have to pay more as there is an increased risk.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

 Capital loss = $(5.46)

Explanation:

<em>Return on investment would be the proportion of the amount invested that is earned as profit. </em>

<em>Profit here includes dividends earned plus capital gains less broker's commission. </em>

<em>Capital gains/(loss) represents an appreciation/(depreciation) in the stock value. It is usually measures by the change in the stock value over the investment period under focus</em>

Capital gain/loss on stock = stock price at the end - stock price at the beginning  

Stock price at the end= 48.78

Stock price at the beginning = 54.24

Capital loss = (48.78  - 54.24) = $(5.46)

The dividend would not be included simply it is not a capital item

 Capital loss = $(5.46)
