The average snow base at heavenly ski resort is 2 feet in the month of december. in the month of january, the average base is 3 feet. if the snow base increases at about the same rate through the month of march, which is the best estimate for the snow base in the month of march?

a. 2 ft
b. 3 ft.
c. 4 ft.
d. 5 ft.

i think the answer is seven, for if i'm being useless °ω°

step-by-step explanation:

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

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%
