Answer:

2.88%

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the real rate of return

Real rate of return = \frac{( 1 + Nominal interest rate )}{( 1 + inflation rate)} -1

Where

Nominal Interest rate = 7% = 0.07

Inflation rate = 4% = 0.04

Placing values in the formula

Real rate of return = \frac{( 1 + 0.07 )}{( 1 + 0.04)} -1

Real rate of return = \frac{1.07}{1.04} -1

Real rate of return = 1.0288 - 1

Real rate of return = 0.0288

Real rate of return = 2.88%

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.

Explanation:

As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.

Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.

There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.

Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

12.64%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

= 4% + 0.87 × 7.4%

= 4% + 6.438%

= 10.438%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

Now the required rate of return would be

= 10.438% + 2.2%

= 12.64%
