4 0

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The free-market-based economy allows more freedom in decision-making for private companies. This an capitalism characteristic. That doesn't mean that government don't participate, actually they do. Government participation in this case refers to ensure that markets are open, working and with no monopolies, that's all. But, <u>government don't get involved into decision making in private companies.</u>

On the contrary, when government participate on decision making, that's called Socialism. In this type of economy, government commands the national economy, create a central plan and make sure that private companies follow it.

navik [9.2K]

Calculate the required rate of return for Everest Expeditions Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation
Ganezh [65]

Answer: 12%

Explanation:

In calculating the Required Rate return, we add the Nominal Risk Free rate to the market premium like so,

Required Rate of Return = Nominal Risk Free rate + Market Premium.

We have the Market Premium, now we need the Nominal Risk Free rate.

As you may or may not know, the Real Risk Free rate is just the Nominal rate adjusted for inflation by subtracting it.

To get the Nominal rate therefore we add back inflation,

Nominal Risk Free rate = Real Risk Free rate + Inflation

= 3% + 4%

= 7%

Now going back to the original formula we have,

Required Rate of Return = Nominal Risk Free rate + Market Premium.

Require Rate of Return = 7% + 5%

=12%

The required rate of return for Everest Expeditions Inc. is 12%
