Answer:
D) Project importance is enhanced by setting authority equal to that of functional departments.
Explanation:
A matrix organization is characterized by, multiple command system and overlapping of command, control and behavioral pattern.
Here, temporary project groups are created so as to handle short term projects. Personnel are drawn from functional department and their activities are controlled and coordinated by a project manager.
Once a project is completed, the structure is disbanded and the personnel return to their original departments i.e functional department.
During the project duration, a person is responsible and reports to two bosses, one being the project manager and secondly to the functional boss. Thus, under such a structure exists dual reporting.
Under matrix structure for project management, the project manager is not allowed to use resources exclusively for the project i.e like in project management. Rather, such a manager is required to share resources with the organization.

Answer:
Option (B) 5.5%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question :
Factor Risk premium
Factor 1 5%
Factor 2 3%
Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4
Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5
Expected return = 14%
Now,
Expected return
= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)
or
14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)
or
14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )
or
Risk free rate = 5.5%
Hence,
Option (B) 5.5%
