Given:
<span>cost of equity of 14.6 percent
</span><span>market risk premium is 8.4 percent
</span><span>risk-free rate is 3.9 percent
</span><span>increase company's beta to 1.4 after purchase.

We will use the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model formula to solve the new cost of equity.

</span>

Re = rf + (rm – rf) * β 

Where:

<span>Re = the required rate of return on equity
<span>rf = the risk free rate
</span><span>rm – rf = the market risk premium
</span>β = beta coefficient = unsystematic risk</span><span>

</span>We need to solve for the original beta coefficient using the given cost of equity, market risk premium and risk free rate.

Re = rf + (rm – rf) * β<span> 
14.6% = 3.9% + 8.4% * </span>β
14.6% - 3.9% = 8.4% * β
10.7% / 8.4% = β
1.27 = β
<span>
The initial beta coefficient is 1.27. 

Using the same risk free rate, market risk premium, and a new beta coefficient of 1.4, we need to solve the cost of equity.

</span>Re = 3.9% + 8.4% * 1.4
Re = 3.9% + 11.76%
Re = 15.66% 

The new cost of equity after purchasing a company is 15.66%. It increase from 14.6% by 1.06%.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Operating income will be $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the operating income is shown below:

= Total cost - outsourcing cost

where,

Total cost = Variable cost + fixed cost

Variable cost = Number of microwaves × variable cost per unit

                       = 500 × $26

                       = $13,000

And, the fixed cost is $7,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $13,000 + $7,000

= $20,000

And, the outsourcing cost equal to

= Number of microwaves × outsourcing cost per unit

= 500 × $28

= $14,000

So, the net income would be

= $20,000 - $14,000

= $6,000

irinina [24]

Answer:

$200,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net revenue is shown below:

= Cash sales gross - Returns and allowances + credit sales gross - discounts + beginning balance of account receivable - ending balance of account receivable  

= $80,000 - $4,000 + $120,000 - $6,000 + $40,000 - $30,000

= $200,000

We simply first compute the net cash sales after considering the returns and allowances, and net credit sales after considering the discounts, and deduct the ending balance of account receivable

Inventory records for Dunbar Incorporated revealed the following: Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Apr. 1 Beginning in
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Apr. 1: Beginning inventory of 490 units for $2.16

Apr. 20: Purchase 420 units for $2.63

Dunbar sold 570 units of inventory during the month.

Under LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is integrated by the first units incorporated into inventory.

First, we need to calculate the number of units in inventory:

Ending inventory in units= total units for sale - units sold

Ending inventory in units= (490 + 420) - 570= 340 units

Ending inventory ($)= 340*2.16= $734.4

EleoNora [17]

Project manager in a functional matrix had more lesser influence over one in a dedicated project team because:
