Answer:

18.80%

Explanation:

Data given

Risk free rate = 4%

Beta = 1.85

Market return = 12%

The computation of rate of return is shown below:-

Using CAPM

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

= 4% + 1.85 × (12% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.85 × 8%

= 4% + 14.8%

= 18.80%

Therefore for computing the rate of return we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose that $2000 is loaned at a rate of 11.5% , compounded semiannually. assuming that no payments are made, find the amount o
Zolol [24]

This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
 A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
 Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest 
 A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span) 
 So we have 
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
 A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
 A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
 So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.

stich3 [128]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

If the difference in average spending amounts between the two groups is determined to be statistically significant, it would be legitimate to draw such a conclusion.

Why?

Those who were told that it was a Tuition rebate, a reward of sorts, had spent on average, $22.04 whilst those who thought it was simply bonus income had spent significantly less at $9.55.

This means that indeed there is a CAUSE and EFFECT conclusion to be drawn between what the money was called and how much was spent because it is clear that when called a tuition rebate, more of it is spent as opposed to it being called a Bonus income.
