Answer:
The company’s systemic risk level (beta coefficient) is 2.44%
Explanation:
According to Capm Expected Return of Stock = Risk Free Rate + Beta*(Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
Beta = (Expected Return of Stock - Risk freed Rate)/(Market return -Risk free Rate)
= (12.5% - 1.5%)/(6% - 1.5%)
=2.44
%
Therefore, The company’s systemic risk level (beta coefficient) is 2.44%
Systematic risk is the risk which affects all the stocks of the economy. It cannot be diversified away. Example interest rate and inflation in the economy. Beta represents systematic risk of the company.
The only initial investment is the hard goods. business basics can be learned along the way as well but the first one is most beneficial.
The bad debts expense signifies the straight write off of
the bad accounts which is the $20,000 along with an increase in the allowance which
is an approximation of the bad accounts to be written off in the future which
is the $3,000. The growth in the allowance account cannot be subtracted.
The correct answer is B.
A price floor is a policy established by economic authorities that consists on setting a threshold so that the price of a certain product or service cannot decrease under that. It distorts the market outcome when it is larger than the equilibrium price, because the amount supplied at the price floor level would the larger than the amount demanded by consumers and, hence, there is an excess of supply or surplus. Therefore, <u>the market does not clear because the rationing function of prices has been externally influenced. </u>
A price ceiling is a similar policy established by economic authorities. A threshold is set so that the price of a certain product or service cannot increase over it. It distorts the market outcome when it is smaller than the equilibrium price, because the amount supplied at the price ceiling level would the smaller than the amount demanded by consumers and, hence, there is an excess of demand of shortage. Again, <u>the market does not clear because the rationing function of prices has been externally distorted. </u>
<em>A market clears when the equilibrium is reached and the amount supplied equals the amount demanded, so that the desires of both producers and consumers meet. </em>
