Answer:

r = 0.235 or 23.5%

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 return

r = 0.06 + 2.5 * 0.07

r = 0.235 or 23.5%

maxonik [38]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

It is False that the difference between operations and projects is that operations end when their objectives have been reached, whereas projects do not.

The reverse is true because projects are time-bound and they come to an end when their objectives have been achieved, but company operations are expected to continue as a going concern.

A project is an activity to meet the creation of a unique product or service, an thereafter terminates while operations are day to day routine activities that are expected to continue

Two companies share a market, in which they currently make $5,000,000 each. Both need to determine whether they should advertise
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.

If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.

If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,

= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million

= $6 million.

A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.

If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.

With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.

However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.
