The risk free rate of return is 2.5% and the market risk premium is 8%. Rogue Transport has a beta of 2.2 and a standard deviati
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:

<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>

Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>

Putting all the number together, we have:

Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%

<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>

Neilsen Cookie Company sells its assorted butter cookies in containers that have a net content of 1 lb. The estimated demand for
velikii [3]

Answer:

46,734 units per run

Explanation:

total estimated demand = 700,000 containers

setup costs per production run = $546

manufacturing cost = $0.47 per container

holding cost = $0.35 per container

r = 700,000 / x

total setup costs = 546r = 546 (700,000/x) = 382,200,000/x

production costs = 0.47 x 700,000 = 329,000

storage cost per unit= 1/2r x 0.35 = 0.35/2(700,000/x) = 0.35x/1,400,000

total storage costs = 700,000 x 0.35x/1,400,000 = 0.175x

C(x) = 382,200,000/x + 0.175 x + 329,000

now we find the derivative:

C'(x) = -382,200,000/x² + 0.175

382,200,000/x² = 0.175

382,200,000 = 0.175x²

x² = 382,200,000 / 0.175 = 2,184,000,000

x = √2,184,000,000 = 46,733.28 ≈ 46,734 units per run

this answer is based on a continuous production process, there are 14.98 runs per year
