The nixon corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.3. if the risk-free rate is 4.4 percent and the expected return on the market is 10 percent, what is the company’s cost of equity capital?

11.68%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4.4% + 1.3 × (10% - 4.4%)

= 4.4% + 1.3 × 5.6%

= 4.4% + 7.28%

= 11.68%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also called market risk premium

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
