To calculate the required rate of return for an assets it's necessary to use the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model which considers these variables to estimate the required return of an assets, the model states the next:
ER = Rf + Bix( ERm - Rf )
ER : Expected Return of Investment
Rf : Risk-Free Rate
Bi : Beta of the Investment
ERm : Expected Return of the Market
(Erm-Rf) : Market Risk Premium
It tries to explain the relationship between the systematic risk ((Erm-Rf Market Risk Premium) of the market and the expected returns for assets.

Answer: A.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,500
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that according to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,500 and that a real estate broker believes that due to recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then and the result is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.
The conclusion based on the results of the test is that since the null hypothesis has been rejected, it simply means that there are sufficient evidence that there has been an increase in the mean price since two years ago.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:
If interest rates were to rise in an Economy, that would mean that the cost of borrowing just rose. The rise in the Cost of Borrowing reduces consumer spending as well as business investment. This will therefore lead to a lower Aggregate demand. A lower AD in the Economy usually leads to a decrease in economic growth.
Now, if such things were to happen, a firm may definitely invest in fewer projects because first off it will be more expensive for them to borrow and invest because of the high rates. They will also be discouraged because of the Decrease in economic growth as the chances of their projects doing well will be drop in a depreciating economy.
