What is not equivalent to 1/3 is it 5/15,7/21,6/24,or 9/27

Lets take a look.

1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15, so it is not A.

1/3 x 7/7 = 7/21, so it is not B.

1/3 x 9/9 = 9/27, so it is not D.

The answer must be C: 6/24, because 1/3 x 6 = 6/18, not 6/24. 1/3 x 8 = 8/24, not 6/24.

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%
