Answer:
a) The required rate of return is 14.75%
b) The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
Explanation:
a)
Using the SML equation, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) of a stock.
r = rFR + β * (rM - rFR)
r = 6% + 1.25 * (13% - 6%)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
b)
The SML shows the return that is required on a security based on the risk is carries. Using SML we calculate the required rate of return which is the percentage return that investors require a security to provide.
If the expected return is greater than the required rate of return which means that security is expected to provide more than is required then the security is underpriced.
The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
Bellue incorporated manufactures a single product
The variable costing net operating income is $92,400
The inventory is 3100 units
The fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $1
Therefore the absorption cost can be calculated as follows
= 9200-1 x3200
= 9200- 3200
= 6000
Hence the absorption cos is $6,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each cases is as follows:
a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 20,800
= 323,800 shares
b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 29,700
= 332,700 shares
Answer:
d) The change to the equilibrium price of French chocolate souffle is ambiguous and the equilibrium quantity of French chocolate souffle falls
Explanation:
Inferior goods are those goods whose demand falls with the rise in the income of the consumer.
As per the given case, French chocolate souffle is an inferior good. When income of the consumer rises, his demand for French chocolate souffle will fall.
Similarly, when producers of such an inferior good decrease, the supply of French chocolate souffle shall fall.
With respect to the original equilibrium level, the demand curve shall experience a leftward shift i.e decrease whereas the supply curve too experiences a leftward shift i.e supply falls.
At the new equilibrium level, definitely the equilibrium quantity shall fall, but the change in equilibrium price cannot be ascertained as per the given information.
Number 1 = decrease
number 2= have an ambiguous change
