Answer:

12.64%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4% + 0.87 × 7.4%

= 4% + 6.438%

= 10.438%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

Now the required rate of return would be

= 10.438% + 2.2%

= 12.64%

almond37 [142]

Answer:

$7.20

Explanation:

Given the following :

FINISHING department :

overhead budget = $550,000

direct labor HOURS = 500,000

PRODUCTION department :

overhead budget = $400,000

direct labor hours = 80,000

Predetermined allocation rate for finishing department :

Overhead / allocation base = ($550,000 / 500,000) = $1.10 per direct labor hour

Predetermined allocation rate for production department :

Overhead / allocation base = ($400,000 / 80,000) = $5 per direct labor hour

If the budget estimates that a desk lamp will require 2 hours of finishing and 1 hour of production:

Finishing department :

(2 × Predetermined allocation rate for finishing department)

= (2 × $1.10) = $2.20

Production :

(1 × Predetermined allocation rate for production department)

= (1 × $5). = $5

Total = ($2.20 + $5) = $7.20

Calculation for What is the value of ending inventory under variable costing

Using this formula

Value of ending inventory =[(Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable overhead+(Fixed overhead/Units produced)×Ending units in inventory]

Let plug in the formula

Value of ending inventory=[($6+ $4+ $5 + ($234,000/26,000 units) ×8,000 units]

Value of ending inventory= ($15 units+$9 units)×8,000 units

Value of ending inventory=$24 per units×8,000 units

Value of ending inventory = $192,000

Therefore the value of ending inventory under variable costing will be $192,000

Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
