Answer:
20.1%
Explanation:
In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:
<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>
Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>
Putting all the number together, we have:
Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%
<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>

Answer:
<em>e. concept testing.</em>
Explanation:
Concept testing is the method of determining the likely reaction of the consumer to a product idea prior to advertising.
The purpose of concept testing is to verify that a product idea is superior over competitive solutions to help consumers get a job done through a work-to-be-done lens.
We need to know what measures consumers use to assess the successful implementation of the work-to-be-done to make this decision.
The concept testing procedures succeed because such consumer measures are developed around them.Using this approach is the only idea test method and is an important step in our cycle of development, Outcome-Driven Development (ODI).
Answer:
The net worth (owners' equity) for this business is $2.2 million
Explanation:
Net worth: It is also known as owner's equity which is a difference between total assets and total assets.
In this question, we use the accounting equation which is used to balance the debit and credit side of the balance sheet items.
So, the accounting equation is
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity
where,
Company assets are $3.5 million
And, liabilities is $1.3 million
Now, apply the above equation to find out the value of the owner's equity
So, owner equity would be equals to
= $3.5 million - $1.3 million
= $2.2 million
Hence, the net worth (owners' equity) for this business is $2.2 million
