Answer:

12.93%

Explanation:

Given that the amount of 300 is invested for 3 years, while the amount of 100 is invested for 2 years and 100 is invested for 1 year.

also amount accumulated in three years = 800

Applying the formula to find the future value we get

300(1+r)^3 + 200(1+r)^2 + 100(1+r) = 800

which can be further simplified to

300r^3+1100r^2+1400r+600=800

where, r is the effective rate of interest which we have to find out

The above equation is cubic in r, so to solve this we can use equation solver. When we put this equation in equation solver we get

r = 0.12926

r ≅ 0.1293

Therefore,  effective rate of interest  = 12.93%

The interest rate on short-term U.S. government bonds is 4 percent. The risk premium for any asset with a beta = 1.0 is 6 percen
Basile [38]

Answer:

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Explanation:

The CAPM (fixed asset pricing) model describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected return on assets, especially stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout the financial community to value high-risk securities and achieve the expected returns on assets when taking into account the risk of those assets and the cost of capital.

The formula for calculating the expected return on an asset taking into account its risk is as follows:

ERi = Rf + βi (ERm - Rf)

where:

ERi = expected return on investment

Rf = risk-free interest rate = 4 percent.

βi = beta inversion =1.0

(ERm −Rf) = market risk premium = 6 percent.

ERi = 4 + 1 ×(6) =10

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Touchtech earns revenue when edison purchases 100 shares, even if he purchases them from an existing shareholder.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

A. An increase in the perceived profitability of Touchtech will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to rise.

B. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to decline

Explanation:

The price of the stock changes only because of the changes in the profitability of the firm. If the company is earning lower profits then the prices of the stock will fall and vice versa. So the option A is correct because increase in profitability increases the value of the shares.

So the main thing here is the profitability of the firm which is affected by the recession in the economy because during the recession period the profitability of the firm decreases and so the value of the stock decreases. So the option B is correct
