RSB [31]

Answer:

net income increased by $1,537.50

Explanation:

Obviously, the original income statement is missing, so I looked for a similar question:

sales revenue                                 $16,500

COGS                                              <u>($9,300)</u>

Gross profit                                      $7,200

Operating exp.:

  • Administrative $950
  • Depreciation $1,300
  • Shipping $412.50             <u>($2,662.50)</u>

Net income                                 $4,537.50

net income increased by $4,537.50 - $3,000 = $1,537.50

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,000 units at $60 per unit. Variable expenses are 40% of the selling price. If total fixed expe
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales units = 1,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price

Total Fixed cost = $26,000

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $60 - ($60 × 40%)

= $60 - $24

= $36

Total contribution:

= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units

= $36 × 1,000

= $36,000

Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost

         = $36,000 - $26,000

         = $10,000

Degree of operating leverage:

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)

= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)

= 36,000 ÷ 10,000

= 3.60

Stock R has a beta of 1.8, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the expected rate of return on an average stock is 9%, and the risk-free
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Stock R more beta than Stock S = 4.2%

Explanation:

given data

Stock R beta = 1.8

Stock S beta = 0.75

expected rate of return = 9% = 0.09

risk-free rate = 5% = 0.05

solution

we get here Required Return

Required Return (Re) = risk-free rate + ( expected rate of return - risk-free rate ) beta  ...........1

Required Return (Re) = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) B

Required Return (Re) =

so here

Stock R = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) 1.8

Stock R = 0.122  = 12.2 %

and

Stock S = 0.05 + ( 0.09 - 0.05 ) 0.75

Stock S =  0.08 = 8%

so here more risky stock is R and here less risky stock is S

Stock R is more beta than the Stock S.

Stock R more beta Stock S =  12.2 % - 8%

Stock R more beta Stock S = 4.2%
