1. Estimate of the risk-free rate pf interest ("U.S. 10-year Treasury" bond rate = 4.78%. Assumed Market Risk Premium = 7.5%. 2. IBM Stock Information a. IBM’s Beta = 1.64 b. IBM’s current annual dividend = $0.80 c. IBM’s 3-year dividend growth rate (g) = 8.2% d. Industry P/E = 23.2 e. IBM’s EPS = $4.87 3. With the information you have‚ use the CAPM to calculate IBM’s required rate of return or ks. CAPM: ks = RF +{ (kM Krf) x Beta} = ks = 4.78% + {7.5% x 1.64) = 17.08% ks

How does the Amount of CO2 Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis? There are a number of variables that can affect the photosynthesis rate of Canadian water weed (Elodea). They are as follows:  The amount of light: an increased light level increases the rate of photosynthesis to a certain point where at another factor limits the photosynthesis rate.  The temperature: Increased temperature increases the rate of photosynthesis to a certain temperature‚ after which‚ essential enzymes

How Do Gangs Affect Adolescent Behavior? Since the early 1920s‚ researchers have closely studied the relations between the street gangs and violent crime froma variety of perspectives: criminological‚ sociological and psychological (Thomas‚ 2008). Whatever the underlying causes for gang membership‚ the resuls seems clear; members of street gangs admit to a far greater rate of serious crime‚ and to far more severe acts of of the same age‚ race‚ and socioeconomic background (Penly Hall‚ Thornberry

Prisons have such a major affect in our society today. Prisons are suppose to be the location we send our criminals to pay for their actions toward society. Many people have argued the goal of these prisons. To some the goal of prisons is to punish the criminals for the actions they committed. To others the goal of prison is to rehabilitate the offenders and allow them to change to become socially acceptable. Corrections has been a key aspect of civilization since its integration to society. In

In the experiment‚ the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis will be tested. Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophic plants create their own food (energy) from sunlight. Photosynthesis involves three ‘ingredients’ or reactants‚ carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and light energy (sunlight). Carbon dioxide and sunlight come in through a leaf’s stomata which are tiny holes‚ and water is absorbed through their roots. When all of these reactants are combined in a plant’s chloroplasts

experiment was to investigate the effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation. The results parsley supported the hypothesis that‚ “If the glucose concentration increases‚ the rate of fermentation increases‚ therefore the more carbon dioxide released”. Background

amount of oxygen. The furthest light from the plant led to the least amount of oxygen produced for the three different distances. These results show how the rate of photosynthesis and the by-product produced is increased as the intensity of light is increased. The second part of the experiment reveals that the color of light also has an effect of the rate of photosynthesis. The red light resulted in the greatest amount of oxygen produced and the blue was not too far behind. Green produced the lowest

For this experiment I am investigating how the light intensity as my limiting factor will have in impact on the amount to oxygen produced‚ to should the rate of photosynthesis.Therefore‚ all the controlled variables must remain constant‚ if not there could be an affect on the accuracy of the dependent variable. The CO2 levels are the same for each trial because before placing the sodium hydrogen carbonate i will weigh it with a measuring scale for 1.5 grams. After completing the five measurements

that no milk was added to the coffee within this experiment. If milk was added into the experiment‚ the rate of cooling would be noticeably faster than it is without adding the milk. This would result in larger k values. Also‚ the amount of water that was measured into the beaker may not be accurate due to the fact that human error can come into play. The effect of this would be that the rate of cooling of the coffee may actually be slightly higher or lower depending on whether less or more water

How do the economies of scale affect break-even analysis? In the video on leverage‚ leverage is compared to a fulcrum in that you need just the right balance of leverage. That would seem to indicate that there is a point where the leverage is just right and that too little leverage may be just as harmful as too much leverage. Do you think this is true? The book discusses the difference between efficiency and effectiveness. Which one do you think is the most important in business and why? Answers:
