Answer:
2.85
Explanation:
U.S. Treasury bills are a risk-free asset, and thus have a beta of zero. Since Stock A has a risk-level equivalent to that of the overall market, its beta is one. Therefore, the beta for Stock B can be found by:
The beta of Stock B is 2.85.
Answer:
d.$18,900
Explanation:
Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.
Sales (90 units) $90,000
Less: Production costs:
Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 ) $36,000
Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 ) $18,000
Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800
Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 ) <u>$6,300</u>
Total Production cost <u>($62,100)</u>
Gross Profit $27,900
Less Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $8,000
Fixed operating expenses $1,000
<u>($9,000)</u>
Operating Income <u>$18,900</u>
Answer:
$10,125 Favorable
Actual quantity of the cost-allocation base used - Actual quantity of the cost-allocation base that should have been used to produce the actual output) × Budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of the cost-allocation base
Explanation:
Variable overhead spending variance = Actual Spending - budgeted Spending based on actual quantity
Variable overhead spending variance = (Actual Input x Actual rate) - ( Actual input x Budgeted rate)
Variable overhead spending variance = (10,125 x $29) - ( 10,125 x $30)
Variable overhead spending variance = $293,625 - $303,750
Variable overhead spending variance = $10,125 Favorable
Variable overhead spending variance is
Actual quantity of the cost-allocation base used - Actual quantity of the cost-allocation base that should have been used to produce the actual output) × Budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of the cost-allocation base
