Answer:

What the investors will do depends on whether the actual return will be higher, lower or the same as the required return (Opportunity cost of capital) .

The Actual return can be calculated using the Holding Period Return which is;

= (Earnings(Dividends) + (Ending Stock Price - Beginning Stock Price))/Beginning Stock Price

= (2 + (52 - 50))/50

= 4/50

= 8%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital can be calculated using CAPM.

= Risk Free Rate + beta(Market Premium)

= 4% + 0.75(7%)

= 9.25%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital is greater than the Actual Return from the stock so the stock is a bad buy.

Investors will not invest.

Answer:

January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.

Explanation:

When,

Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.

Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.

Where,

Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity

Therefore,

Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000

                                                = $48,000

Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.

Conclusion

It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.

Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000

                                                             = $2,000
