Answer: 41.90%
Explanation:
First calculate the risk free rate:
Required return = risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
28.95% = rf + 1.85 * (18% - rf)
28.95% = rf + 33.3% - 1.85rf
28.95% = -0.85rf + 33.3%
0.85rf = 33.3% - 28.95%
rf = 4.35%/0.85
rf = 5.12%
New required return;
Required return = risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5.12% + 1.85 * (25% - 5.12%)
= 41.90%
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense the lessee should record for the first year of the lease is $108,000
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense for each year the first thing you have to do is to substruct from the initial value the fair value at the end fo the lease, obtaining this way the depreciable amount.
For this case it would be:
$810,000 - $270,000= $540,000
Then you have to divide the depreciable amount by the years of the term the lease.
$540,000/5= $108,000
Answer:
Alice's consumer surplus = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $1
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of a good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the producer is willing to accept
Producer surplus = price of the good - least price the producer is willing to accept
Alice's consumer surplus = $30 - ($35 - $10) = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $20 - [$16 - (0.75 x $16)] = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $501 - $500 = $1
