Answer:

The discount rate assign to a new project with a Beta of 1.25 is 13.94%

Explanation:

The applicable formula is the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula of Miller and Modgliani  quoted below:

Ke = Rf + (Market risk premium x Beta)

Currently Ke=14.945%

Beta =1.38

Risk free rate of return (Rf) is 4.25%

Market risk premium is the unknown

14.945%=4.25%+(Market Risk Premium)*1.38

14.945%-4.25%=Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70% =Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70%/1.38=Market Risk Premium

Market Risk Premium =7.75%

However, the new project cost of equity has to be determined due to having a different Beta factor of 1.25(a different risk appetite)

Using the above formula, we have

Ke=4.25%+(7.75% *1.25)

Ke =13.94%

Izzy Ice Cream has the following price and cost information: Price per 2-scoop sundae $ 5.00 Variable cost per sundae: Ingredien
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Price per 2-scoop sundae $ 5.00

Variable cost per sundae:

Ingredients 1.35

Direct labor 0.45

Overhead 0.20

Total variable cost= $2

Fixed cost per month $ 5,100

1. Determine Izzy’s break-even point in units and sales dollars.

Break-even point (units)= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 5,100/ (5 - 2)= 1,700 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 5,100/ (3/5)=$8,500

2. Determine how many sundaes must be sold to generate a profit of $10,200.

Break-even point (units)= (fixed costs + profit)/ contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= (5,100+ 10,200) / 3= 5,100 units

3. a. Sales price decreases by $0.50.

Break-even point (units)= 5,100/ (4.5 - 2)= 2,040 units

b. Fixed costs decrease by $300 per month.

Break-even point (units)= 4,800/3= 1,600 units

c. Variable costs increase by $0.50 per sundae.

Break-even point (units)= 5,100/ (5 - 2.5)=2,040 units

4. How many sundaes must Izzy sell to generate a profit of $24,000, if sales price increases by $0.50 and variable costs increase by $0.30

Break-even point (units)= (5,100 + 24,000) / (5.5 - 2.3)= 9,094 units

Consider the market for gasoline. Suppose that a new oil-pump technology is developed, making gasoline production less costly. A
beks73 [17]

Answer:Decrease in supply.

Explanation: Supply is the amount of goods and services which an individual is willing and ready to purchase at a given price. The invention of a new technology which makes gasoline production less costly will lead to a decrease in price. Producers reduces supply when there's a decrease in price and increase supply when there's an increase in price. Also, the destruction of several oil fields means that there would be a reduction in the supply of oil in the economy. Since oil fields have been destroyed, it will have a negative effect on supply.
