Can Someone help me to answer the question

X = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

90 - 5x + 62 -2x = 180

152 - 7x = 180

-7x = 28

x = -4

Check your answer by pluging in the vaule of x

90 - 5(-4)

90 + 20 = 110

62 - 2(-4)

62 + 8 = 70

110 + 70 = 180

Checks out.

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%
