Answer:

a.

Excess return for Zynga today will be -3.38%

b.

Excess return on P&G today will be -1.04%

Explanation:

The excess return is the return earned above/beyond the benchmark return. This benchmark can be set at either the risk free rate or any other stock or portfolio's return.

The return on a stock is usually calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM considers risk free rate, the return on market and the stock's beta to calculate the expected return on a stock.

The market always has a beta of 1. Beta is the measure of the volatility of stock returns. If the excess return on the market falls or rises, the effect of this on a stock's excess return will be based on its beta.

a.

The excess return of Zynga today will be =  -2.6% * 1.3   = -3.38%

b.

The excess return of P&G today will be =  -2.6% * 0.4   = -1.04%

Each firm can produce at most one car. Suppose the market for electric cars is competitive. Why is the equilibrium price in this
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Consumer surplus = (60000 - 40000)+ (90000 - 40000)+(40000 - 40000) = $70000

Producer surplus = (40000 - 20000)+(40000 - 30000)+ (40000 - 40000) = $30000

Social surplus = Consumer surplus +Producer Surplus= 70000 + 30000 = $100000

Consumer surplus = (Willingness to pay – Price)

Producer surplus = ( Price –Cost)

Wind Productions uses flexible budgets. Items from the budget for March in which 3,000 units were produced and sold appear below
ladessa [460]

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

For computing the total variable cost, first we have to determine the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

= (Direct materials cost + Indirect materials - variable + Direct labor cost) ÷ (number of units produced and sold)

= ($18,000 + $2,000 + $10,000) ÷ (3,000 units)

= ($30,000) ÷ (3,000 units)

= $10 per unit

Now the total variable cost would be

= $4,000 units × $10 per unit

= $40,000

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Purple Rose Corporation reported pretax book income of $500,000.
Vikentia [17]

Answer: $68,000

Explanation:

Let us assume that we are given a tax rate of 34% to use in computing the question. Therefore, Purple Rose's current income tax expense or benefit will be:

Pre-tax book income = $500,000

Less: Tax depreciation = $300,000

Net Income = $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000

Current income tax expenses at 34% will then be:

= 34% × Net income

= 34/100 × $200,000

= $68,000
