Answer:

The discount rate is 12.46%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

The formula and computation of the discount rate is shown below:

= Risk-free rate of return + (Beta × Market risk premium)

= 3.5% + (1.12 × 8%)

= 3.5% + 8.96%

= 12.46%

Since we have to compute the discount rate for the project that involves the manufacturing of furniture, so we have to use the Integral designs beta instead of the Honest Abe because Integral design is a furniture maker

KonstantinChe [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

Fatima's statement that she intends to continue in her job in spite of her dissatisfaction makes you think that Fatima will likely experience​ "Cognitive Dissonance".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological concept when an individual experiences non consistent thoughts and emotions (regardless of the environment). In this example, Fatima had been expected to quit her job (because she hated the manager).

In spite of that, she continued to work. That caused the cognitive dissonance in her behavior, as she changed her attitude. People correlate decisions and feelings many times, but due to some factors like patience, need of job etc, worked for an individual to be consistent and continue job.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

0.09 or 9%

Explanation:

This question has some irregularities. The correct question should be :

Elinore is asked to invest $4,900 in a​ friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5,390 in one​ year's time. Elinore finds her best alternative to this​ investment, with similar​ risk, is one that will pay her $ 5,341 in one​ year's time. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7​%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this​ case?

Solution

Given from the question

Investment (I) = $4,900

Return on investment (ROI) in one year = $5,341

Rate or opportunity cost of capital r is given by

ROI = I × (1 + r)

input the given data

$5,341 = $4,900 (1 + r)

$5,341 = $4,900 + $4,900r

$5,341 - $4,900 = $4,900r

r = ($5,341 - $4,900) / $4,900

r = 0.09

Or 9% in percentage
