  2876 books

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let y1 and y2 represent the costs from method 1 and method 2, then we have, for x books published, ...

  y1 = 12841 +24.25x

  y2 = 48072 +12x

These costs will be equal when ...

  y1 = y2

  12841 +24.25x = 48072 +12x

  12.25x = 35231 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12841+12x

  x = 2876 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12.25

The costs will be the same for production of 2876 books.

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%
