Simplify. (1 + i)(1 - i) a) -2 b) -1 c) 0 d) 2

Hi there!

D. 2

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

a=1, b=1

Then, you add by the numbers from left to right.

1+1=2

Final answer is 2.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

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%
