Consider the table of the powers of 8.

A 1-column table with 6 rows. Column 1 is labeled Power of 8 with entries 8 cubed = 512, 8 squared = 64, 8 Superscript 1 = 8, 8 Superscript 0 = a, 8 Superscript negative 1 = b, 8 Superscript negative 2 = c.

Answer these questions about the powers of 8.

What is the pattern as the exponents decrease?

What is the value of each variable in the table?
a =
b =
c =

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
