Answer:

Tax is a statutory obligation to pay an amount to the state or other public body, which is imposed on a person or company on the basis of their activities, without a direct connection to consideration from the payee. The main purpose is usually to finance the public sector. The tax can also have other purposes, such as equalizing income or influencing people's actions with the help of financial incentives.

Assume that the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 8%.
valkas [14]

Answer:

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%

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 * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the market risk premium

Under CAPM, the assumption follows that the beta of the market is always equal to 1.

So, expected return on the stock market will be,

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.06 + 1 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

The beta of the stock is given. We calculate the required rate of return on the stock to be,

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.06 + 1.9 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%

The interest rate on short-term U.S. government bonds is 4 percent. The risk premium for any asset with a beta = 1.0 is 6 percen
Basile [38]

Answer:

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Explanation:

The CAPM (fixed asset pricing) model describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected return on assets, especially stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout the financial community to value high-risk securities and achieve the expected returns on assets when taking into account the risk of those assets and the cost of capital.

The formula for calculating the expected return on an asset taking into account its risk is as follows:

ERi = Rf + βi (ERm - Rf)

where:

ERi = expected return on investment

Rf = risk-free interest rate = 4 percent.

βi = beta inversion =1.0

(ERm −Rf) = market risk premium = 6 percent.

ERi = 4 + 1 ×(6) =10

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

muminat

Answer: C) a tend-and-befriend strategy.

Explanation:

The Tend and Befriend strategy is a relatively new theory that tries to explain another way humans respond to stress.

Recent studies have shown that women are the main proponents of this theory because while men would rather prefer a 'Fight or Flight' approach, women can reduce stress faster when going by this theory as they are more likely to nurture and tend to their offspring as well as rely on their close ones as a support system who they can lean on in hard times.

Debra was stressed by her job and went to talk to her friend about it. It could be said therefore that Debra's friend is her support system. Also notice how Debra is now laughing which shows a reduction in stress has talen place thereby confirm this theory.
