Answer:

a. The expected return on the market is 10.89%

b. The risk-free rate is 1.52%

Explanation:

In order to calcuate the expected return on the market and the he risk-free rate we would have to use the following formulas:

Expected return=risk-free rate +Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate )

13.23=Rf+1.25*(Rm-Rf)

13.23=1.25Rm-0.25Rf

Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

To calculate the risk free rate, we use the following:

9.67=Rf+0.87*(Rm-Rf)

9.67=0.13Rf+0.87Rm

9.67=0.13Rf+0.87*(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

9.67=0.13Rf+9.20808+0.174Rf

Rf=(9.67-9.20808)/(0.13+0.174)

=1.52%(Approx)=risk free rate

Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25

=10.89%(Approx)=market rate

A company's board of directors votes to declare a cash dividend of $.75 per share of common stock. The company has 15,000 shares

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The total amount of the cash dividend is $7,125

Explanation:

The Dividend is declared to pay all the outstanding shares in the market. Sometime the company has some treasury shares in the stocks which is deducted from the total issued shares to find the outstanding shares. In this case, the issued shares and the outstanding numbers of shares are different.

Treasury shares are those shares that are bought back by the company that issued the shares.

Use the following formula to calculate the cash dividend

Cash Dividend = Numbers of outstanding shares x Dividend rate

Where

Numbers of outstanding shares = 9,500 shares

Dividend rate = $0.75 per share

Placing values in the formula

Cash Dividend = 9,500 x $0.75 per share

Cash Dividend = $7,125

The following data relate to direct labor costs for the current period:

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:$2,125 unfavorable

Explanation:

Given

Standard costs 9,000 hours at $5.50

Actual costs 8,500 hours at $5.75

we have two formulas to calculate for direct labor rate variance is:

1ST ----Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual Rate- Standard Rate ) x Actual hour

=( $5.75 -$5.50) x 8,500 = $2,125 unfavorable

2ND----Direct Labor Rate Variance=Actual Direct Labor Cost Incurred - Standard Direct Labor Cost Based on Actual Hours

=Actual Hours x Actual Rate -Actual Hours x Standard Rate

= ($5.75 x 8,500 hours)-($5.50 x 8,500 hours)

$48,875 - $46,750 = $2,125 unfavorable

when the actual rate is higher than the standard rate, the Direct Labor Rate Variance is unfavorable and if the actual rate is lower than standard rate, the variance is favorable.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Unlimited

Explanation:

GIven that:

You short-sell 200 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co

now selling for $50 per share.

If a short-sell occurs on a trade, the lower the share price, the higher the profit your are liable to achieve but if short-sell occurs and the share price is higher, then the more loss you're going to accumulate.

From the question, the lowest possible share price is zero and the highest possible share price is infinity since there is no stop loss.

∴

The maximum possible loss = 200 × 50( 1 - infinity share price)

= Unlimited loss
