Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": predatory pricing.

Explanation:

Predatory pricing refers to companies setting prices below the average level in an attempt to wipe out competition. In the beginning, consumers may benefit from the low prices but after the competition has disappeared, the predatory company raises the prices, but, in this scenario, consumers do not have substitutes from where to choose. The predatory company became a monopoly.

Predatory pricing practices are forbidden by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S.

Suppose that the equation for the SML is Y = 0.05 + 0.07X, where Y is the average expected rate of return, 0.05 is the vertical
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Risk free interest rate is 5%

Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5

X is 0.29 when Y is 7%

Explanation:

Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation

The average expected return is given by Y

Y=0.05+0.07X

Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus

Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)

Y=0.05+0.105

Y=0.155

Y=15.5%

The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:

7%=0.05+0.07X

where X is the unknown

0.07=0.05+0.07X

0.07-0.05=0.07X

0.02=0.07X

X=0.02/0.07

X=0.29

The scenario  illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.
