Assume that the risk-free rate is 8 percent, the required rate of return on the market (or an average-risk stock) is 13 percent, and the required rate of return on acme healthcare stock is 15 percent. what is the implied beta coefficient of the stock? (hint: use the sml equation with beta as the unknown.)

22.7 %

Explanation:

We can solve two of the problems using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) which is as follows:

Ra= Rf + (Rm-Rf)*B

Where,

Ra= Rate of return on stock

Rm= Rate of return on market

Rf= Risk Free rate

B= Beta coefficient of stock

Now we can move for your problem

Prob1) Ra= .15, Rf= .08, Rm= .13, B= ?

.15=.08+(.13-.08)B

Therefore, beta Coefficient = 1.4              

Prob2: Ra= ?, Rf= .04, Rm= .15, B=1.7

= .04+(.15-.04)*1.7

Therefore, Ra=0.227 = 22.7 %

answer; the above statement is (true);

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
