Answer:

1.

r market = 0.12 or 12%

2.

r stock = 0.12 or 12%

3.

r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%

Explanation:

The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital asset pricing model equation. The formula for required rate of return under this model is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the risk premium on market
  • r represents the required rate of return

1.

The beta of the market is always considered to be 1. Thus, the required rate of return on market would be,

r market = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07

r market = 0.12 or 12%

2.

For a stock whose beta is 1.0, the required rate of return would be same as that for market. So, the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.0 is,

r Stock = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07

r Stock = 0.12 or 12%

3.

The required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.7 is,

r Stock = 0.05 + 1.7 * 0.07

r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%

svp [43]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Reliability.

Explanation:

In customer care, the quality dimensions refer to a set of five (5) characteristics companies must pay attention to in implementing their operations to attract customers and ensure their loyalty. Those characteristics are: Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, and Tangibles.

Reliability refers to providing a service the customers can trust. Most consumers prefer traditional methods than innovative because the first has been proven to work. Then, <em>if a university promotes itself as a very traditional campus with an old-world look and feel, where the facilities are manicured and the dorm rooms are large, it is focusing on the reliability aspect of service quality.</em>

Courts will occasionally determine in a the course of a lawsuit against a corporation that the usual limited liability protectio
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: b. piercing the corporate veil.

Explanation:

Normally, corporations have limited liability which means that the assets of the shareholders are separate from that of the company and should the company go bankrupt for instance, the assets of the shareholders would be safe and only that of the company could be liquidated.

Sometimes however, the courts can remove this limited liability protection which would enable the assets of the shareholders to be targeted in what is known as "piercing the corporate veil".

There are several reasons this can happen for instance:

  • Fraud by the owners
  • Failure to follow formal corporate rules
  • Inadequate capitalization of the company
  • Use of company assets as private assets.
