Answer:
The beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium
Explanation:
According to Capital Asset Pricing Model, the formula to compute expected rate of return is equals to
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market risk - risk free rate of return)
where,
rRF = risk free rate of return
rM = market risk
Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is expected rate of return which equals to = 9.25%
So,
9.25% = 3.6% + Beta × (8.5% - 3.6%)
9.25% = 3.6% + 4.9% Beta
9.25% - 3.6% = 4.9% Beta
5.65% = 4.9% Beta
Beta = 5.65% ÷ 4.9% = 1.15
Hence, the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is 1.15

This question is usually asked during job interviews. The interviewer wants to know what skills and knowledge do you have that will help him/her tell if the job is really suitable for you. You will just have to enumerate the technical skills you are confident on based on your experience and previous lessons.
Answer:
a. 1, 5 and 7
b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently
c. Differing sizes and capacities
d. Benefits due to economies of scale
e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.
Explanation:
The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.
Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.
Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.
The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.
If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
Answer:
(A)
The total relevant cost would be: 495,000
Buy 15,000 x 35 = 525,000
It would be better to keep producing.
(B) relevant cost 495,000
Buy 525,000 - 150,000 = 375,000
In this scenario is better to buy the procuct, as this alternative will come with the 525,000 cost but 150,000 contribution margin in the new product
Explanation:
The relevant cost would be:
Direct Materials 14
Direct labor 10
Variable Overhead 3
traceable fixed overhead 6
Total 33
15,000 x 33 = 495,000
<u>The depreciation is a sunk cost,</u> already incurred when the machine was purchased. Is not relevant to decide wether to produce or buy
The potencial new product would be opportunity cost:
It should be considered as a decrease in the cost of buy the product
