Answer:
Explanation:
What is given:
The price of a new fabricating machine - 60
The price of a one-year-old machine - 51
The real interest rate is 10% per year
Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)
If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%
a) Find user cost of capital
User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine
= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units
b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit
165-2K=15
2K = 150
K = 75 machines
c)
Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?
165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)
165-2K=14/0.6
165-2K=25
2K=140
K=70 macines

Answer:
r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%
r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the market risk premium
Under CAPM, the assumption follows that the beta of the market is always equal to 1.
So, expected return on the stock market will be,
r or expected rate of return - market = 0.06 + 1 * 0.08
r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%
The beta of the stock is given. We calculate the required rate of return on the stock to be,
r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.06 + 1.9 * 0.08
r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%
Answer:
D) selling agent.
