Answer:

e) 3.38%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Required rate of return  = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For A

= 4.25% + 0.70 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 0.70 × 6.75%

= 4.25% + 4.725%

= 8.975%

For B

= 4.25% + 1.20 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 1.20× 6.75%

= 4.25% + 8.1%

= 12.35%

So, the difference would be

=  12.35% - 8.975%

= 3.375%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as market risk premium

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is lowers.

Explanation:

Supporters of rent control say that it <u>LOWERS</u> the price of renting an apartment.

Rent control is an administration program that puts a limit on the sum that a landowner can charge for renting a home or for renewing lease  

Rent control laws are typically established by regions and the subtleties differ broadly. All are planned to continue living costs reasonable for lower-salary occupants.

Rent control laws mostly limit the amount a landlord can increase rents on existing tenants.  Therefore Rent control is controversial. In fact, 37 states have laws that forbid local governments from enacting such measures.

David Grange is married and claims 4 withholding allowances. If he is paid biweekly and earns $1,846 per period, use the percent
Trava [24]

Answer: $74.60

Explanation:

For people who are paid biweekly, 1 withholding allowance = $161.5

4 withholding allowances = $646

Earnings after deducting withholding allowance = $1,846 - $646

Earnings after deducting withholding allowance = $1,200

For a married person who is paid biweekly, the percentage applicable to David's pay bracket is 10% on the amount over the $454

That is, 10% on $746 ($1200 - $454)

=$74.60

Which of the following best describes equilibrium?
QveST [7]

Answer:

C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior

Explanation:

An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.

In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.

Hope that helps.
