Answer: Stock B

Explanation:

Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.

Stock A

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

= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)

= 9.8%

Stock B

Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)

= 12.2%

Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.

The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.

Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%

Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%

<em>Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy. </em>

Answer:

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Explanation:

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users connected to cloud-based applications over the Internet and use them. Some common examples are email, calendars and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).

SaaS offers a comprehensive software solution that is acquired from a cloud service provider through a pay-per-use model. It is possible to rent the use of an application for the organization and users connect to it through the Internet, usually with a web browser. All underlying infrastructure, middleware, software and application data are located in the provider's data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and, with the appropriate service contract, will also guarantee the availability and security of the application and data. SaaS allows an organization to get started and can run applications with a minimal initial cost.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Disadvantage of Corporate Form of Organization:

d. Government regulation

Explanation:

In recent times, government regulation of businesses appears to be regarded as a disadvantage of the corporate form of organizations.  Governments intervene and regulate corporate entities whenever they fail to be self-regulatory.  But, the regulations may appear to be so much that the corporate form of organization now looks like a disadvantage.  Given the many corporate scandals, collapses, and misapplications of resources by corporate entities that have become the order of the day, government regulation is very important.  Without government regulation, many corporate bodies will not be acting in the public interest.  This is more so with public entity corporate organizations with diverse stakeholders and corporate managers who act as if they were running their own autonomous governments.
