- <u><em>Law of demand</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
Indeed, the <em>law of demand </em>is that the price and quantity demanded are inversely related. <em>Ceteris paribus</em>, the economist say. It is a latin expression that means "<em>other things equal</em>".
As the resources are, per definition, scarce, the consumers, ecomomic agents who buy the products, need to allocate the money among the different goods and services that the market puts at their disposal.
And they allocate the resources in a intelligent way: they "calculate" the utility of each product considering the cost. If the price increase, the ratio of utility to cost decreases and the consumer will diminish the quantity demanded for that good. If the price decrases, the utility to cost ratio increases and the quantity demanded will increase.
Given:
<span>General pharmacy’s stock has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14%,
Sicoras corp.’s stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.2%.
Let Rf stand for risk free rate.
Let Rm stand for expected market return.
General Pharmacy: 14% = Rf + 1.8(Rm-Rf)
Sicoras Corp.: 16.2% = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
0.14 = Rf + 1.8Rm - 1.8Rf
0.14 = Rf - 1.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 = -0.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 + 0.8Rf = 1.8Rm
Rm = 0.14/1.8 + 0.8Rf/1.8
Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span><span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
</span>0.162 = Rf + 1.5[(0.078+0.444Rf) - Rf]
0.162 = Rf + 0.117 + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.162 - 0.117 = Rf + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.045 = 0.166Rf
0.045/0.166 = Rf
0.271 = Rf
<span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
</span>Rm = 0.078 + 0.444(0.271)
Rm = 0.078 + 0.120
Rm = 0.198
Rf = 27.1% ; Rm = 19.8%
The risk free rate is 27.1% and the expected market return is 19.8%.
To check, simply substitute the value of Rf and Rm in the above equation.
Answer:
a) production units = 450,000
b) Amount of raw materials = 1,010,000.
Explanation:
The production budget is computed as follows;
Production budget = Sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
Production budget= 480,000 + 50,000 - 80,000
= 450,000 units
<em>The raw material purchase budget is the amount of material to be purchased to accommodate production need and inventory of materials to be kept.</em>
Purchase budget = usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventoy
Purchase budget = (2× 500,000) + 45,000 - 35,000
= 1,010,000.
Answer:
1) The yield to maturity is required rate of return on a bond expressed as a nominal annual interest rate. For noncallable bonds, the yield to maturity and required rate of returns are interchangeable terms
2) Unlike YTM and required return, the coupon rate used as the interest rate in bond cash flow valuation, but is fixed percentage of par over the life of the bond used to set the coupon payment amount.
3) The coupon rate is constant at 10%. The YTM is 8%.
