Marianna [84]

Answer:

=2.98%

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;

CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)

risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal

beta = -0.4

market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;

r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)

r = 0.045 -0.0152

r = 0.0298 or 2.98%

Therefore the required return is 2.98%

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $77 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

Product A: 1,850 units

Product B: 1,250

Hours required:

Product A: requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit

Product B: requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit.

The total estimated overhead for the next period is $100,485.

First, we need to calculate the total amount of direct labor hours required:

Total direct labor hours= 0.3*1,850 + 0.6*1,250= 1,305 hour

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 100,485/1,305= $77 per direct labor hour
