Answer:

C. Reject W

Explanation:

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

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

= 7% + 1.6 × (12%-7%)

= 7% + 1.6 × 5%

= 7% + 8%

= 15%

The Project W should be rejected as it gives only 14% expected return which is less than the derived expected return.

Equivalent units =20000 units

This implies that labor has carried  out 20% of the work required to transform the 100000 units into finished products,since only 20% work is completed, the remaining 80% is expected in the next period.
