Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

<u>this</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>fo</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% <u>for</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>b</u>

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

<u>Therefore advisor a is better</u>

REY [17]

Answer:

3. MOH allocated to job= predetermined MOH rate * actual amount of allocation base used by the job

Explanation:

3. MOH allocated to job= predetermined MOH rate * actual amount of allocation base used by the job

The predetermined overhead rate is used to apply manufacturing overhead costs to production jobs. the quantity of a cost driver required by a particular job is multiplied by a predetermined overhead rate to determine the amount of overhead cost applied to the job.

An estimate is made of

  1. the amount of manufacturing over head that will be incurred during a specific period of time and
  2. the amount of the cost driver ( or activity base) that will be used or incurred during the same time period. the predetermined overhead rate is computed as follows

Predetermined Overhead Rate= Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead Cost/ Budgeted amount of cost driver

The predetermined overhead rate is used to apply manufacturing overhead costs to production jobs. The quantity of the cost driver ( or activity base ) required by a particular job is multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate to determine the amount of overhead cost applied to the job.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

you can get more of one good only by giving up some of another good

Explanation:

A production possibilities frontier shows the opportunity cost of producing one good instead of another. This way, as you follow the curve, the combination of goods will vary, increasing the production of one good but deceasing the production of the other.

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Since resources are scarce, you must always give something up in order to obtain another thing, e.g. you give up your leisure time in order to study.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

C. 120

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

                                      (L × K)

<u>Labor L      Capital K   Quantity of Output Q         Total cost TC</u>

1                    2                      2                                       $40

2                   4                      8                                       $80

                                                                   (2 × $20 + 4 × $10)

3                    6                    18                                       $120

                                                                  (3 × $20 + 6 × $10)

4                    8                     32                                      $160

                                                                 (4 × $20 + 8 × $10)

As we can see that if we considered 3 units of labor so the total cost is $120

Hence, the correct option is c.
