It is important because they need money and food and water because they don't have that much.
Answer:
Risk free interest rate is 5%
Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5
X is 0.29 when Y is 7%
Explanation:
Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation
The average expected return is given by Y
Y=0.05+0.07X
Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus
Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)
Y=0.05+0.105
Y=0.155
Y=15.5%
The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:
7%=0.05+0.07X
where X is the unknown
0.07=0.05+0.07X
0.07-0.05=0.07X
0.02=0.07X
X=0.02/0.07
X=0.29
The scenario illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.
In 20 years you'll have $5,220.
2,000×0.08=160
2,000+(160×20)= 5,220.
Answer:
$50.57 ; $175,573.6
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed and variable portions of overhead costs based on machine-hours using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High Overhead cost - low overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low service hours)
= ($581,145 - $503,775) ÷ (8,020 hours - 6,490 hours)
= $77,370 ÷ 1,530 hours
= $50.57
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $581,145 - (8,020 hours × $50.57)
= $581,145 - $405,571.4
= $175,573.60
