Hi, we need to use the following formula in order to find the cost of equity of this firm.

Where:
r(e) = Cost of equity
rf = risk free rate

Answer:
a) 15 to 35 approximately 95%
(b) 10 to 40 approximately almost all
(c) 20 to 30 approximately 68%
Explanation:
The data have a bell-shaped distribution which means the data is equally distributed on both sides of the mean.
We have the mean at 25 and a standard deviation of 5 which means that the interval is for each of the values of 5 .
The mean would be u and
The first value would be u ±σ = 25 ± 5= 20 and 30 (68 % )
The second value will be u ± 2σ= 25± 10 = 15 and 35 (95%)
The third value will be u ± 3σ= 25 ± 15 = 10 and 40 (99.7 % almost all)
In the figure below the light blue region gives u ±σ on both sides of the mean
, dark blue gives u ± 2σ values on both sides of the mean and grey gives
u ± 3 σ values on both sides of the mean.
It is obvious that 68 % of the data is contained in the u ±σ light blue region, 95 % of the data in the u ± 2σ dark blue including light blue and 99.7 % in the u ± 3σ all colored regions.
How will the general ledger accounts in the trial balance most likely differ if the company were a retail store rather than a wholesale company?
A general ledger account is used to record transactions that a company has. A trial balance has all of the general ledger accounts listed shows all of the debits and credits that a company has faced. A retail store will have smaller product transactions over a wholesale store due to the wholesale store selling in bulk. There will likely be more credits and debits for a retail store whereas a wholesale store may have more debits as they are less likely to have returns.
How will they differ for a hospital or a government unit?
A hospital or government unit will have vastly different general ledger reports due to the type of agency they are. These transactions will deal more with insurance or big dollar companies rather than individuals on a smaller scale. A trial balance is not a financial statement but it used to show balances that an organization has.
