Answer:

Explanation:
The Current Population Survey(CPS) contacts a representative sample of 60,000 people of age 15 and above every month in order to make an inferential assumption about the US population as a whole.
Answer:
The CPA rebuts the allegations
Explanation:
The Securities Act of 1933 requires that investors receive financial and other significant information regarding any and all securities being sold publicly and prohibits deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraud in the sale of securities. Therefore, since there was material misstatement or omission in the financial statements, the only chance the CPA has is if they rebut the allegations. Meaning that they provide actual evidence, such as physical statements or witnesses that contradict or nullify the evidence that is being presented against them regarding the material misstatement or omission
Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %
