Given:
<span>General pharmacy’s stock has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14%,
Sicoras corp.’s stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.2%.
Let Rf stand for risk free rate.
Let Rm stand for expected market return.
General Pharmacy: 14% = Rf + 1.8(Rm-Rf)
Sicoras Corp.: 16.2% = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
0.14 = Rf + 1.8Rm - 1.8Rf
0.14 = Rf - 1.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 = -0.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 + 0.8Rf = 1.8Rm
Rm = 0.14/1.8 + 0.8Rf/1.8
Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span><span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
</span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5[(0.078+0.444Rf) - Rf]
0.162 = Rf + 0.117 + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.162 - 0.117 = Rf + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.045 = 0.166Rf
0.045/0.166 = Rf
0.271 = Rf
<span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444(0.271)
Rm = 0.078 + 0.120
Rm = 0.198
Rf = 27.1% ; Rm = 19.8%
The risk free rate is 27.1% and the expected market return is 19.8%.
To check, simply substitute the value of Rf and Rm in the above equation.
Answer:
B. Leadership
Explanation:
Leadership is the art for encouraging the people towards attaining a common goal. In this, it give directions to the workers & colleagues in order to meet out the needs of the company by having a strategy.

Explanation:
Disruptive technology, new business ventures, and increased availability of data are quickly changing traditional financial reporting and assurance processes. As a result, prospective auditors not only need to understand fundamental auditing concepts, but also need to anticipate the influence that disruptive technology will have on the profession. The following case study provides a lens through which prospective auditors can view the coming changes to the profession by asking them to consider how the online lending company, Kabbage, is currently disrupting the lending industry for non-traditional and small businesses. Students contemplate several fundamental auditing concepts such as audit evidence, financial statement assertions, and analytical procedures while also acquiring insight into the effects that new and disruptive technology will have on the profession. The intention is to encourage students to embrace coming changes and become lifetime learners.
Answer:
C. Reject W
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) which is shown below:
Expected return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate - Risk-free rate of return)
= 7% + 1.6 × (12%-7%)
= 7% + 1.6 × 5%
= 7% + 8%
= 15%
The Project W should be rejected as it gives only 14% expected return which is less than the derived expected return.
Answer:
c. cash, checking account balances, and travelers' checks.
Explanation:
Money Supply is the concept that means the amount of the liquid financial products and total currency in the market or economy. It is regulated the macro-economically by the monetary policy. So, there are types of measures of money supply or stock:
-M0: narrowly, it means the hard currency in circulation
-MB: it equals M0+ the hard currency which are not technically in circulation and in bank reserves.
-M1: it is the most common one and equals M0 plus checking accounts plus travelers’ checks and other checkable deposits.
-M2: covers M1 and saving accounts and CDs.
-M3: it surrounds the larger deposits.
-MZM: finally, this indicates the money market deposits.
That’s why we could notice that M1 narrowly means the cash, checking account and travelers’ checks.
