Answer: 0.9

Explanation:

The Expected Return on an investment can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model as it is a key component in thw formula which is,

P = D1 / r - g

where,

D1 is the dividend paid next year

P is the current stock price

g is the growth rate

r is the expected return

With the given figures we have,

84 = 4.20 / r - 0.08

84 ( r - 0.08) = 4.20

r - 0.08 = 4.20/84

r = 4.20/84 + 0.08

r = 0.13

The Expected Return can be slotted into the CAPM formula to find the beta.

The CAPM formula calculates the Expected Return in the following manner,

Er = Rf + b( Rm - rF)

Where,

Er is expected return

Rf is the risk free rate

Rm is the market return

b is beta

Slotting in the figures gives,

0.13 = 0.04 + b( 0.14 - 0.04)

0.13 = 0.04 + b (0.1)

0.13 - 0.04 = 0.1b

b = 0.09/0.1

b = 0.9

Using the constant-growth DDM and the CAPM, the beta of the stock is 0.9

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The high-low method involves taking the highest level of activity and the lowest level of activity and comparing the total costs at each level.

Mountain has recorded the following for the past nine months:

January:

Number of Cavities= 375

Total cost= $5,300

February:

Number of Cavities  500

TC= 5,850

March

Number of Cavities 350

TC= 5,200

April

Number of Cavities 600

TC=6,250

May

Number of Cavities 325

TC= 5,150

June

Number of Cavities 475

TC= 5,700

July

Number of Cavities 525

TC= 6,100

August

Number of Cavities  575

TC= 6,300

September

Number of Cavities  450

TC= 5,550

A) Variable cost= (Highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - lowest activity units)

Variable cost= (6300 - 5150) / (600 - 325)= 4.18 per unit

Fixed cost= HACost - (variable cost per unit * HAUnits)= 6300 - (4.18*600)= 3792

Fixed cost= LACost - (variable cost per unit* LAUnits)= 5150 - (4.18*325)= 3792

B)  Q= 400

Total cost= 3792 + 4.18*400= $5464
