Answer:

The answer is 8.55 percent

Explanation:

This is Capital Assets Pricing Model(CAPM) shows the relationship between undiversified risk(systemai risk) and the expected rate of return for shareholders. It is used to determine the cost of equity. This model is widely used in finance.

The formula is: Risk free rate of return + beta(market return - risk free rate of return ).

Risk free rate of return - 4 percent

market return - 11 percent

Beta - 0.65

4 + 0.65(11 - 4)

4 + 0.65(7)

4 + 4.55

=8.55 percent

TEA [102]

Answer:

What Paul has done wrong is to place these marketing materials on seats.  He should devised a plan to give out these materials at the registration point where participants would be registered and then they would collect the items.  By placing them on the seats, some of the participants could collect more than one, especially the valuable pen that is worth $3 each.

Explanation:

Marketing materials cost the entity some funds to produce.  They should not be wasted.  In addition, the number of participants with some details like names and contact information should be captured for future marketing efforts.  Allowing participants to have free access to the marketing materials that cost so much without driving any potential customer list is not prudent.

Serga [27]

That is, if the business get sued to court, what ever the punishment or retribution is, it will not directly affect the owners but the business itself.

ira [324]

Answer:

d.$38,448

Explanation:

The computation of the expected change in net income is shown below:

The net purchase for one day = $11,760

For 20 days excluding discount period i.e 10 days , it would be

= $11,760 × 20 days

= $235,200

The interest would be

= $235,200 × 10%

= $23,520

Now the gross purchase  is

= (Net purchase × total number of days in a year) ÷ (1 - discount rate)

= ($11,760 × 365 days) ÷ (1 - 0.02)

= $4,292,400 ÷ 0.98

= $4,380,000

The discount is

= $4,380,000 × 0.02

= $87,600

After tax rate, the change in net income would be

= ($87,600 - $23,520) × (1 - tax rate)

= $64,080 × 0.60

= $38,448
