Answer:
Required rate of return= 14.8
If the security is expected to return 15%, it is underpriced.
Explanation:
The required rate of return on the security can be calculated using the CAPM formula which states that
Required rate of return =rf + B(rm - rf)
where rf= risk free rate
B= beta of the security
rm = return on the market
Required rate of return = 
= 14.68%
If the security is expected to return 15%, it is underpriced, and is a good investment. Discounting the expected cash-flows from the security at this higher expected return of 15% is going to yield a lower price compared to what the investor is prepared to pay given his required rate of return of 14.68%.
Answer:
differentiated by quality/design
Explanation:
In this scenario the two coffee shops have different strategies for sale. While Jackie's coffee is a sit down cafe with a waiter service that takes personalised orders, Johnny's coffee sells at various kiosks it owns.
These two businesses are differentiated by quality or design. Jackie's has more quality because of the personalised service provided to customers.
Jackie uses design of a sit down cafe in one location, while Johnny's business design is to sell coffee at various locations (kiosks)
Answer:
The answer is: Edgar will receive $37,000
Explanation:
- Dowd's share of the company's losses is $80,000
- Edgar's share of the company's losses is $60,000
- Frost's share of the company's losses is $40,000
- Grant's share of the company's losses is $20,000
But since Grant is not willing to give more money to the partnership to cover his losses, the $9,000 difference must be divided by the remaining three partners. So they will divide Grant's losses as follows:
- Dowd's share of the Grant's losses is $3,600
- Edgar's share of the Grant's losses is $2,700
- Frost's share of the Grant's losses is $1,800
Then you add up all the losses the three remaining partners had:
- Dowd' total losses $83,600
- Edgar's total losses $62,700
- Frost's total losses $21,800
So when the partnership was dissolved, Edgar should have received $100,000 (capital) - $62,700 (total losses) = $37,200
I selected answer A since they probably rounded down Edgar's share to $37,000 (nearest possible choice).
Answer:
Materials quantity variance and labor efficiency variance.
Explanation:
Material quantity variance is defined as the difference that exists between the actual amount of a material that is used in production and the expected amount to be used. It measures the efficiency with which a raw material is converted into product.
MQV is calculated by multiplying standard price of material by difference between standard quantity and actual quantity.
Labour efficienct rate on the other hand measure efficiency of using labour.
It is calculated by multiplying standard labour rate with difference between standard labour amount and actual labour amount.
