Answer (A):

Need more data to select the better adviser

<u>Explanation: </u>

Adviser A averaged 19% return on the investment which is more than that of Adviser B who averaged 16% return on investment. However, adviser A has a beta of 1.5 which is also greater than that of Adviser B who has a beta of 1. This means that adviser A made a more riskier investment and hence a higher average return on investment. We need more data to tell which adviser performed better in relation to each other.

Answer (B):

Investment Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

R_{f} = T-bill rate = 6%

R_{m} = Market return = 14%

R_{m} - R_{f} = Market risk premium = 14% - 6% = 8%

ER_{a} = Average Return by Adviser A =19%

\beta _{a} = Beta of Adviser A = 1.5

ER_{b} = Average Return by Adviser B =16%

\beta _{b} = Beta of Adviser B = 1

CAPM Equation is ER_{i} = R_{f} +\beta  (R_{m} - R_{f} ) +\alpha

<u>For Adviser A</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1.5 (14 - 6) = 18%

The expected average return for the investment is 18% which means that Adviser A over performed the market by 1 %

<u>For Adviser B</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1 (14 - 6) = 14%

The expected average return for the investment is 14% which means that the Adviser B over performed the market by 2 %

Clearly, Adviser B performed better than Adviser A.

Answer (C):

Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

In this part, the R_{f} = 3 % and R_{m} = 15%

All else remains the same

We make similar calculation as in part B

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is -5

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product. It shows how much demand changes if there is the change in price.

Using mid point method

Change in Demand = $20 - $25

Change in Demand = -$5

Change in price  = $5 - $4

Change in price  = $1

As we know

Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / Change in price

Elasticity of Demand = -$5 / $1

Elasticity of Demand = -5

KiRa [710]

The statement is true. A project manager may "also" be the project champion. But it is not mandatory. But there are possibilities that the project manager is also an expert the in project he is handling. Thus, the above statement is true. If the statement would have been - The project manager will be or needs to be the project champion, then it would be false statement.

Break Even Sales Volume in Units= Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin per unit

<em>Given</em>

<em>Molson-Coors</em>

<em> All figures in millions</em>

Sales $3,568

Cost of goods sold (2,164)

Gross profit $1,404

Marketing, general, and admin. expenses (1,052)

Operating income $352

<em>Molson-Coors</em>

<em>         All figures in millions</em>

Sales $3,568

Variable Cost of goods sold (2,164)*70%=  (15,14.8)

Variable Marketing, general, and admin. expenses (1,052) *40%=  (600.8)

Contribution Margin $1,452.4

Fixed Cost of Goods Sold 649.2

Marketing, general, and admin. expenses (1,052) *60%= $ 631.2

Operating income $172

Break Even Sales Volume in Units= Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin per unit

Break Even Sales Volume in Units= 649.2+631.2/12.1033 (millions)

1)Break Even Sales Volume in Units=105.789067 millions barrels

<em><u>When Fixed Costs are increased in the following year.</u></em>

Break Even Sales Volume in Units= 649.2+631.2+ 100/12.1033 (milions)
