Answer:

13%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return on the investment is shown below:

= Annual net income ÷ average investment

The annual net income is shown below:

Increase in revenue $40,000

Less: Increase in expenses ($25,000)

Pretax income from investment $15,000

Less: Income tax expense $5,250      ($15,000 × 35%)

Net income from investment $9,750

The computation is shown below:

For increase in expense

= Annual cash operating expenses + Depreciation expense based on straight line method

= $10,000 + ($150,000 - $0 ÷ $10,000)

= $10,000 + $15,000

= $25,000

And, the average investment would be

= (Initial investment + salvage value) ÷ 2

= ($150,000 + $0) ÷ 2

= $150,000 ÷ 2

= $75,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $9,750 ÷ $75,000

= 13%

Company X has beta = 1.6, while Company Y's beta = 0.7. The risk-free rate is 7%, and the required rate of return on an average
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. 5.40%

Explanation:

First, I will calculate the new cost of equity for both stock X and Y:

Required rate of return = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)

Re stock X = 8% + (1.6 x 6%) = 8% + 9.6% = 17.6%

Re stock Y = 8%  + (0.7 x 6%) = 8% + 4.2% = 12.2%

The difference between the required rate of return = 17.6% - 12.2% = 5.4%

Clannad currently produces and sells 4,000 units per year, and has a capacity of 5,000 units. Enya, Inc. has offered a one-year
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Increase of $20,000

Explanation:

The cost of making a unit is:

= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

= 10 + 14 + 5 + 3

= $32

For 4,000 units that would be:

= 4,000 * 32

= $128,000

Cost of buying 4,000 units :

= Cost of buying + Fixed cost

= (4,000 * 30) + (3 / 2 * 4,000)

= $126,000

This cost is further reduced by the renting of the unused space:

= 126,000 - 18,000

= $108,000

Impact on profit:

= Cost of making - Cost of buying

= 128,000 - 108,000

= $20,000

Increase of $20,000

Suppose the economy of the large country of Hendrix is currently experiencing economic growth and has a trade deficit. Consider
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit.

1. Domestic private investment increases

2. Imports increase

When there is a period of economic growth, people generally have more income in the economy. Their consumption will increase and they will demand more foreign goods as well as domestic. This will lead to imports rising.

Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit.

1. Private saving increase.

2. Government borrowing decrease

With people earning more income, they will be able to save more of that income and because they are not buying with those savings, trade deficit drops.

The government would also not have to borrow as much to prop up the economy as the economy is also doing well. This means less need for foreign funds so a lower trade deficit ensues.

Not likely to occur during economic growth.

1. Imports decrease.

2. Government borrowing increases.

When there is economic growth, it is unusual to see that imports are decreasing.

Government would also not have to borrow as much as the economy is doing well on its own and does not need the government to pump money into it.
