Answer: Both Arianna and Alexander

Explanation: This is a general partnership. In a general partnership, all partners are personally liable for all business debts. They do not need to have any agreement to be partners or register their partnership formally to enter into a general partnership. The fact that they share an office, have a joint sign and an account is sufficient to establish this form of partnership.

Also, in a general partnership, each partner is held severally liable, that is if  one of them is liable to pay a business debt and cannot afford to pay, the other partner has to.

A stock has an expected return of 11.85 percent, its beta is 1.24, and the expected return on the market is 10.2 percent. What m
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market
  • (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x  =  0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%
