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.

Assume that the full-employment level of output is $2,000 and the price level associated with full-employment output is 100. Als
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The full-employment level of output is $2,000.

The current level of output is $1,900.  

The current aggregate demand is $1,850.  

There is a need to increase the aggregate demand by $150 to reach full employment level.  

The government increases purchasing by $30.  

Increase\ in\ income\ =\ Change\ in\ government\ spending\ \times\ spending\ multiplier

\$ 150\ =\ \$ 30\ \times\ \frac{1}{1-MPC}

\$5 = \frac{1}{1-MPC}

1 - MPC = \frac{1}{5}

MPC = 1 - 0.2

MPC = 0.8

A municipal bond has yield to maturity of 4.83 percent. An investor with a marginal tax rate of 35 percent is indifferent betwee
mezya [45]

Answer: 7.43%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity simply refers to the total return that is expected on a bond as long as the bond is held till it matures.

In this case, since the investor is indifferent between this municipal bond and an otherwise identical taxable corporate bond, the yield to maturity of the corporate bond will be:

4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × ( 1- 35%)

4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × 65%

Corporate bond YTM = 4.83% / 65%

Corporate bond YTM = 0.0483/0.65

Corporate bond YTM = 7.43%

The yield to maturity of the corporate bond is 7.43%

The budgeted annual cost of operating a post office truck is $5,500 plus $0.50 per mile. In 2008 the truck was to be driven 25,0
finlep [7]

Answer:

The total cost of operating a truck would be $18000 as calculated below.

Explanation:

The total costs of operating the truck is a combination of fixed costs of $5500 per year and variable of $0.50 per mile ,hence the total cost function is given as:

TC=5500+0.50X

Where represents the number of miles driven per year.

Since X=25000 miles

TC=$5500+($0.50*25000)

TC=$5500+$12500

TC=$18000

The understanding here is that wages paid to the two employees working  with the truck is already embedded in the fixed costs of $5500 per year, otherwise that would been given as a distinct cost entirely.
