Answer: 41.90%

Explanation:

First calculate the risk free rate:

Required return = risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

28.95% = rf + 1.85 * (18% - rf)

28.95% = rf + 33.3% - 1.85rf

28.95% = -0.85rf + 33.3%

0.85rf = 33.3% - 28.95%

rf = 4.35%/0.85

rf = 5.12%

New required return;

Required return = risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

= 5.12% + 1.85 * (25% - 5.12%)

= 41.90%

Which statement is false? A. A monopoly sells lower-quality products at higher prices than in a perfect competition. B. Natural
NeX [460]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option E, Homogeneous products leave consumers with no choice, which means this statement is False.

Explanation:

Homogeneous products leave consumers with no choice is the False statement, because homogeneous products are the products which cannot be differentiated or distinguished from each other. They have almost exact physical characteristics and properties. People cannot differentiate the products of different suppliers.

So homogeneous products have a lot of substitutes, people have a vast choice range for such products. For example if you go for grocery, you can find different apples coming through different suppliers from different countries, and you are clearly not able to differentiate between them, yet you have a vast range of choice to select from the apples you like.

The monthly rate of return on T-bills is 1%. The market went up this month by 1.5%. In addition, AmbChaser, Inc., which has an e
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a; 3%

b; 1%

Explanation:

To answer the question, we proceed as follows;

Firstly, we compute the rate of return:

The rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM model:

According to CAPM,

Rate Of return RE = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)

where, Rf = Risk free rate

Rm = Market return

β = Risk co-efficient

RE = Cost of equity

To find the rate of return, substitute 1% for risk free rate, 1.50% for market return and 2 for beta.

Applying the CAPM model, we get;

Rate of return = 0.01 + 2(0.015 - 0.01)

= 0.02 or simply 2%

Its firm's return due to the lawsuit is $1 million per $100 million initial equity; this means the increase is 1%.

Therefore, the total return should be ;

Total return = 1% + 2% = 3%

If the settlement was expected to be $2 million and the actual settlement has a loss of $1 million, then the firm-specific return would be = 1%

Total return = 2% - 1%
