51What do you call the relevant risk that reflects the total market returns and cannot be eliminated by diversification?
Answer: Systematic risk
In the capital market theory, all investors want a completely diversified portfolio (combination of risky assets) in order to reduce risk. The unsystematic risk or the unique risk for an individual asset is diversified away. The systematic risk remains and cannot be eliminated because it reflects the market condition through the macroeconomic factors that affect all risky assets. This is why the systematic risk is also called as the market risk.

65If total assets equal 3 times liabilities, and owner's equity is $40,000, what are total assets?
Answer: $60,000
Let "L" stand for liabilities. Given that total assets equals 3L and that owner's equity equals $40,000, then according to the accounting equation: 3L = L + $40,000 Subtract L from both sides of the equation. 2L = $40,000 L = $20,000 Total Assets = $20,000 + $40,000 Total Assets = $60,000
