The weekly demand for an item in a retail store follows a uniform distribution over the range of 50 to 100. What would be the weekly demand if its corresponding computer-generated value is 0.4?a. 60b. 70c. 75d. 80

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Uniform range of distribution = 50 to 100

50 ≤ x ≤ 100

Difference between both values = 100 - 50 = 50

Range / difference = computer generated value

(Weekly demand - lower limit) / difference = computer generated value

(Weekly demand - 50) / 50 = 0.4

Weekly demand - 50 = 20

Weekly demand = 20 + 50

Weekly demand = 70

1.5%

step-by-step explanation:

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%
