The answer is obviously B. Greater risk means greater return, duh. Though I'm surprised they didn't ask about the impact of inflation on the capitalization rate - that's the real killer question here.

The direct capitalization rate? Is that like when you directly capitalize on your boss's embarrassing mistake? Asking for a friend...

I dunno, this feels like a trick question. Is it D? It depends on the specific situation, right?

Hmm, the question doesn't mention anything about risk. I think the direct capitalization rate should be lower if the excess earnings are less persistent. A sounds right to me.

But wouldn't higher uncertainty lead to a higher direct capitalization rate?

The longer the uncertainty, the greater the risk, so the capitalization rate should be higher. I'll go with B.
