Factor ab + bc+ b² + ac. A. (a + b)(b + c)

B. (a + c)(b + c)

C. b(a + b)(b + c)​

A. (a + b)(b + c)

Step-by-step explanation:

b( a + b ) + bc + ac

b( a + b ) + c ( b + a )

= (a + b)(b + c)

hope it helps!

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a(b+c)+bc+bb

a(b+c)+b(c+b)

(b+c)(a+b)

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%
