Answer:

Part A:

Alcoa has higher expected return hence has a higher equity cost of​ capital.

Part B:

Capital cost higher=0.0775=7.75% higher

Explanation:

Part A:

Those stocks whose beta is higher has higher expected return because the risk is higher in these stocks. Since Alcoa has beta value value of 2.00 which is higher than Hormel foods having beta 0.45, it means Alcoa has higher expected return hence has a higher equity cost of​ capital.

Part B:

Difference in beta= Beta of Alcoa-Beta of Hormel

Difference in beta=2-0.45

Difference in beta=1.55

Capital cost higher=Difference in beta*Excess return

Capital cost higher=1.55*5%

Capital cost higher=1.55*0.05

Capital cost higher=0.0775=7.75% higher

Media planners typically use psychographic classifications to define their target audiences and rely heavily on primary research
kati45 [8]
<span>To properly target potential customers, it is necessary to know not only what the needs are of the people they're advertising, they also need to know how the item will be used. There are multiple reasons that a customer would buy an item or service, so I assume media planners would need to use psychographic classifications to know who their target audience is and what they would like. How heavily planners rely on these classsifications probably effects the response they received from the audience.</span>
