A market index is a resulting value created from the combination of several stocks and other  investment vehicles presenting its total value against a base value at a certain period. It is used to show the whole stock market at the same time keeping track with the way the market changes overtime.

Andrej [43]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

The marginal rate of substitution simply means the rate at which one good will be exchanged for another good based on the current market price.

Since you like servants three times as much as robots, this implies that the utility that one gets from one servant is exactly like the utility that will be gotten from three robots.

Therefore, the utility function will be:

U = 3X + Y

Then, the marginal rate of substitution will be:

= MUX/MUY

= 3

Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) - required return

β- Beta

Rm- Return on market

Rf- Risk-free rate

DATA

E(r) =? , Rf- 3%, Rm-14% , β- 1.1, flotation cost - 4%

E(r) = 3% + 1.1× (14% - 3%) = 15.1 %

Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost

                        = 15.1 % + 4% = 19.1 %

Cost of equity = 19.1 %

Delicious77 [7]

The scope of practice regulations for <u>Nurse Practitioners (NP)</u> should be reconsidered.

Across the states, there is substantial variation in the scope of practice permitted to NP’s. Some states allow NP’s to provide care independently without the need for physician collaboration or supervision, while other states do not allow NP’s to do so. Thus there is a great need to align the regulations set for NP’s.
