Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Expected return.
Explanation:
Expected return is the return an investor expects from an investment given the investment's historical return or probable rates of return under different scenarios. To determine expected returns based on historical data, an investor simply calculates an average of the investment's historical return percentages and then, uses that average as the expected return for the next investment period.
In the example, the expected return would be:
<em>Expected return </em><em>= (return in a good economy + return in a poor economy)/2</em>
<em>Expected return </em><em>= (13% + 4%)/2</em>
<em>Expected return </em><em>= </em><em>8,5%</em>

Explanation:
The percentage increase in sales from the preceding year to the current year can be calculated as:
where:
is the sale for the current year
is the sale for the preceding year
From the sales data of this problem, we have:
(current year)
(preceding year)
Therefore, the percentage increase in sales is:
Answer:
$38.78
Explanation:
The formula to compute the share price in one year is shown below:
Price of a stock = (Next year dividend) ÷ (Required rate of stock return - growth rate)
where,
Price of the stock = Next year dividend ÷ (Risk free rate + beta × (Market return - Risk free rate) - Dividend growth rate)
$35 = $0.80 ÷ (5.5% + 1.2 × (12% - 5.5%) - g)
So after solving this
The growth rate is 11.01%
Now the share price after one year is
= 0.80 × (1 + 11.01%) ÷ (13.3% - 11.01%)
= $88.81 ÷ 2.29%
= $38.78

Answer:
4 workers
Explanation:
The cost that Hamburger Co can incur at this time is $460.
When producing the total cost is equal to fixed cost less variable cost.
Fixed cost includes nonmoveable assets that assist in production, such as machinery. The cost is fixed.
Variable costs are those costs that change in the course of production and can be varied depending on need.
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
460= (3*100)+ variable cost
Variable cost= 460- 300= $160
Number of worker= Variable cost/ cost of each worker
Number of worker= 160/40= 4 workers
