Answer:

The difference between A's and B's required rate of return is 1.95% with B's required rate of return being 1.95% higher than A's.

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors require to invest in a stock. Using CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock using the following formula,

r = rRF + Beta of Stock * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the expected return on market

For company A, r = 0.045 + 0.9 * (0.11 - 0.045)   =  0.1035 or 10.35%

For company B, r = 0.123 or 12.30%

The difference between A's and B's required rate of return is,

Difference = 12.30% - 10.35%  =  1.95% with B's required rate of return being 1.95% higher than A's.

Liula [17]

Answer:

B. $97000

Explanation:

Given that

Estimated selling price = 102000

Estimated selling cost = 5000

Recall that

The net realizable value which is NRV

= Estimated selling price - estimated selling cost

Thus,

NRV = 102,000 - 5000

= 97000

Therefore, the estimated net realizable value is $97000.

Note, the other parameters listed are not used in estimating NRV.
