Answer:

 

(a)    13,3%

(b) 18,1%

Explanation:

To calculate the required rate of return for an assets it's necessary to use the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model which considers these variables to estimate the required return of an assets, the model states the next:

ER = Rf  +   Bix( ERm - Rf )  

ER : Expected Return of Investment    

Rf : Risk-Free Rate    

Bi : Beta of the Investment    

ERm : Expected Return of the Market    

(Erm-Rf) :    Market Risk Premium    

It tries to explain the relationship between the systematic risk ((Erm-Rf  Market Risk Premium) of the market and the expected returns for assets.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Finished goods = $85,800

Ending inventory = $5,280

Explanation:

beginning WIP 400 units

$11,080

8000 units started

$80,000

units finished and transferred out = 8,000 + 400 - 600 = 7,800

ending inventory 600 units

80% complete

equivalent units = 7,800 + (600 x 80%) = 8,280

total costs = $91,080

cost per equivalent unit = $91,080 / 8,280 = $11

Finished goods = 7,800 x $11 = $85,800

Ending inventory = 480 x $11 = $5,280

b. Greater than 2 but less than 3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1) Average inventories:

Raw materials     $2,500,000

Work-in-process  $1,000,000

Finished goods      $800,000

Total average inventory   $4,300,000

Cost of goods sold = $12,000,000

Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

= $12,000,000/$4,300,000

= 2.79 times

2) Inventory turnover is a financial ratio that shows the number of times in a year that inventory has been sold by Maple Leaf, Inc.  When it divides the number of days, say 360 days in a year, the ratio that comes out shows the number of days it takes Maple to sell its inventories.

Alex invested $10,500 in an account that pays 6 percent simple interest. how much money will he have at the end of four years?'
Marizza181 [45]
The amount generated from the investment with simple interest is calculated through the equation,

           F = P x (1 + in)

where F is the future amount, P is the present worth, i is the decimal equivalent of the given interest and n is the number of interest period.

From this item it can be identified that,
   P = $10,500
   i = 0.06
   n = 4

Substituting the known values,

    F = ($10,500) x (1 + (0.06)(4)) 
 <em>   F = $13020</em>

Therefore, after four years, the amount of money that Alex will have is $13,020.
