Answer:
a. Potential Packing Output/hr = (50 loaves/20 min) * 60 min = 150 loaves.
However, the production of 50 loaves takes 60 mins, so the packaging remains idle for 40 mins and the Actual Packing Output/hr = 50 loaves.
Hence, Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output/Potential Output) *100% = (50/150)*100% = 33.33%
b) Production output = 50 loaves/hr = 50 loaves/60 mins
Packing Output = 50 loaves/20 mins
So, to make both the capacities equal, the XYZ Bakery can simultaneously operate three batches to prepare the dough and bake i.e 150 loaves/60 mins for both production as well as packing.
Answer:
β of the stock = 1
Explanation:
Given:
α of a stock = 0%
Return on the market index = 16%
Risk-free rate of return = 5%
Required rate = 11% + 5% = 16%
β of the stock = ?
Computation of β of the stock:
Required rate = Risk-free rate of return + [β (Return on the market index - Risk-free rate of return)]
16% = 5% + [β (16% - 5%)]
16% - 5% = β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (11%)
β of the stock = 1

<span>Traditional economies do not use money or currency as a medium for trade.
Instead, such economies would use barter as the main medium for trade. This means that people would simply exchange goods for goods, without using money.</span>
Answer:
WACC = 9.1%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital(WACC) is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.
cost of equity = Rf+ β×(Rm-Rf)
(Rm-Rf)= 6%, Rf- 4%, β- 1.4
=4% + (1.4×6%) = 12.4
Cost of preferred share = Dividend/price
= 3/25× 100= 12.0%
After tax cost of debt = Yield × (1-Tax rate) = 8.5%× (1-0.35)=5.53%
Type cost Market value Cost × Market Value
Equity 12.4% 7 0.868
Preferred 12% 4 0.48
Bond 5.53% <u>10 </u> <u> 0.553</u>
Total 21 1.901
WACC = 1.901
/21 × 100 =9.1%
WACC = 9.1%
