Answer:

r = 0.139 or 13.9%

Option e is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.  

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the market return

r = 0.04 + 0.9 * (0.15 - 0.04)

r = 0.139 or 13.9%

Why shouldn’t i let someone else use my business name
Strike441 [17]
Hello,

Not sure if this is a school related question but i have the answer for ya (:

There are multiple reasons on why you shouldn't let another person use your business name.
1. They can make YOUR profit off of what you sell
2. It can lead to a law suit in the future
3. 2 businesses using the same name always leads to unwanted problems, finance cases, business claims, and the possibility of being sued by the other person.

Best option would be for you to make your own business name and get it trademarked so that nobody will copy you! (:
