Answer:
Option A. There exist economies of scope between diversified business units

Option B is not preferable option as the option of investing in different businesses is choosen in the option A.
Option C is again the same as Option B and the difference is that it uses the word several unrelated businesses instead of comprehensive business portfolio which is the same thing. Hence <u>Option C</u> is also not preferable option here.
<u>Option D</u> is incorrect because when we acquire an organization it is the move of increase in risk portfolio because acquisitions are mostly not a sound investments and not a part of diversification strategy as the company is putting all the eggs in the single basket.

Answer: Current Price $26.65
Explanation:
Rate of return = 12.5%
dividends = $1.98
Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28
Current price = Pc
R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa
0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc
28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc
-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98
- 1.125Pc = -29.98
Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889
Pc = $ 26.65
Answer:
12.6%
Explanation:
Using the Capital Market Pricing Model (CAPM) to compute the expected rate of return on Dee's Fashion stock.
Expected rate of return = 
Where R(f) = risk free rate of return, or market return less risk premium = 12.6% - 8.7% = 3.9%
= the risk of the stock relative to the market risk. In this case, beta = 1, since the company is equally as risky as the market (as noted in the question)
R(m) = return of the stock market = 12.6%
Therefore, the expected rate of return on the stock
= 3.9% + 1 * (12.6% - 3.9%)
= 3.9% + 8.7%
= 12.6%.
The return is the same as the stock market return because the stock is equally as risky as the market.
