Answer:

C) If Stock B's required return is 11%, then the market risk premium is 6%.

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium

If we take the required return is 11%, so the market risk premium would be for stock B

11% = 5% + 1 × Market risk premium

11% - 5% = Market risk premium

So, the market risk premium would be 6%

If we take the required return is 11%, so the market risk premium would be for stock A

11% = 5% + 2 × Market risk premium

11% - 5% = Market risk premium

So, the market risk premium would be 3%

Hence, the correct option is C

During the period, Sanchez Company sold some excess equipment at a loss. The following information was collected from the compan
juin [17]

Answer:

1) For the equipment that was sold, determine its original cost, its accumulated depreciation, and the cash received from the sale.

  • original cost = $9,800
  • accumulated depreciation = $1,020
  • cash received = $5,980

2) Sanchez Company uses the indirect method for the Operating Activities section of the cash flow statement. What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities?

  • the loss on sale of equipment ($2,800) should be added to the cash flows from operating activities.

3) What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities?

  • the cash received ($5,980) should be added to the cash flow from investing activities

Explanation:

equipment cost = beginning equipment - ending equipment = $20,000 - $10,200 = $9,800

equipment's accumulated depreciation = beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending depreciation = $1,950 + $860 - $1,790 = $1,020

book value = $9,800 - $1,020 = $8,780

cash received = book value - loss = $8,780 - $2,800 = $5,980

kakasveta [241]

The correct answer would be, Compromise.

After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that the budget would be hired for the next year. In this situation, Compromise strategy of conflict management is used.

earnstyle [38]

The challenge of indirect benefits occurs when the social, economic, or environmental benefits of a company's sustainability commitments do not directly benefit primary customers or clients.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An indirect gain is a profit which can not be directly measured but is still appreciated-as opposed to the more readily quantified direct benefits like decreased headcount or increased revenue. The indirect advantages progress only when the customers or clients are also benefited, otherwise one or another day the failure of such tactics, destruction of  image of firm, etc would happen.

Labor productivity is the best illustration of a technology's indirect gain; greater performance does not necessarily contribute to the elimination of an ongoing cost element but is understood in the context that it helps workers to do their roles better and quicker.
