Answer:

MILLER STORES

Ke = Rf + β(Market risk premium)

12.7 = Rf + 1.38(7.4)

12.7 = Rf + 10.212

Rf = 12.7 - 10.212

Rf = 2.488%

DIVISION A

Ke = Rf + β(Risk premium)

Ke = 2.488  + 1.52(7.4)

Ke = 2.488 + 11.248

Ke = 13.74%

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need to calculate risk-free rate using the data relating to Miller Stores. In this case, the cost of equity, beta and market risk premium of Miller Stores were provided with the exception of risk-free rate. Then, we will make risk-free rate the subject of the formula.

We also need to calculate the cost of capital of division A, which is risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by the market risk-premium.

vekshin1

Answer:

Both of these answers are correct.

Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

I hope my answer helps you.

Assume that the labor market for barbers is competitive and that it is differentiated into two groups:
ehidna [41]

Answer and Explanation:

I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:

The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.

The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.

The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.

The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.

Hence the answer is D.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$71.5

Explanation:

Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production

equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales

Current sales = $300 million

Annual sales growth rate =32%

sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)

300 + 96= $396 million

Applying the equation

Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)

$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million
