Laura is a gourmet chef who runs a small catering business in a competitive industry. Laura specializes in making wedding cakes.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is the letter a. "Make more than 20 wedding cakes a month."

Explanation:

To maximize profit the marginal price of each cake must equal the marginal cost of each cake. The marginal cost is 300 and the marginal price is 5000/20 = 250. The marginal price of each cake (250) is less than the marginal cost of each cake (300), so Laura needs to make more than 20 cakes to increase her revenue and maximize her profit.

The risk-free rate and the expected market rate of return are 0.06 and 0.12, respectively. According to the capital asset pricin
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<u>13.2%</u>

Explanation:

As per Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM),

Expected Rate Of Return = R_{f}  \ +\ B(R_{m} \ -\ R_{f} )

wherein, R_{f} = Risk free rate of return on treasury bonds

               B= Beta , which represents the degree of sensitivity of security return to the market return.

               R_{m} = Return on market portfolio

Thus, Expected rate of return of security X = 6 + 1.2(12 - 6)

                                                                        = 13.2%

CAPM model is used for calculating expected rate of return. As per the model, the investors expect a risk premium represented by excess of rate of return of market portfolio over risk free rate , in addition for the risk free rate of return.

The risk premium serves as a compensation for investing in risky securities instead of risk free securities.

jekas [21]
The statement above is true. When using interval method, it does not matter the number of responses, if the behavior occur in a given segment then the observer has to record it as a single event. For instance, in an English class of one hour, that is divided into six segments of ten minutes each. It does not matter the number of responses, if the behaviour occurs within the segment of ten minutes, then it has to be recorded as a single event.

You are holding a stock that has a beta of 1.39 and is currently in equilibrium. The required return on the stock is 20.47%, and
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 26.73%

Explanation:

You can calculate the expected return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Formula is:

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

Use the previous figures to solve for the risk free rate:

20.47% = Rf + 1.39 * (16.50% - Rf)

20.47% = Rf + 22.935% - 1.39R

20.47% - 22.935% = Rf - 1.39Rf

-2.465% = -0.39Rf

Rf = -2.465% / -0.39

= 6.32%

New expected return is:

= 6.32% + 1.39 * (21% - 6.32%)

= 26.73%
