Detergent A contains 48 fluid ounces and cleans 16 loads of dishes. Detergent B contains 76 fluid ounces and cleans 38 loads of dishes. Which comparison of the detergents is accurate? Detergent A uses exactly 1 fluid ounce per load more than detergent B.
Detergent A uses exactly 1 fluid ounce per load less than detergent B.
Detergent A uses less than 1 fluid ounce per load more than detergent B.
Detergent A uses less than 1 fluid ounce per load less than detergent B.

Detergent A uses exactly 1 fluid ounce per load more than detergent B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Detergent A contains 48 fluid ounces and cleans 16 loads of dishes. Detergent B contains 76 fluid ounces and cleans 38 loads of dishes.

We have to compare that which detergent is accurate.

As we know that the formula for finding fluid ounce per load is given by;

 Fluid ounce per load =  

Fluid ounces = 48

Loads of dishes = 16

So, fluid ounce per load =  

                                         = 3 fluid ounce per load

Fluid ounces = 76

Loads of dishes = 38

So, fluid ounce per load =  

                                         = 2 fluid ounce per load

So, we can clearly see that Detergent A uses exactly 1 fluid ounce per load more than detergent B, ie. (3 - 2) = 1 fluid ounce per load.

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%
