Answer:

The answer is 8.55 percent

Explanation:

This is Capital Assets Pricing Model(CAPM) shows the relationship between undiversified risk(systemai risk) and the expected rate of return for shareholders. It is used to determine the cost of equity. This model is widely used in finance.

The formula is: Risk free rate of return + beta(market return - risk free rate of return ).

Note that risk free rate of return - market return is known as risk premium i.e the compensation for taking risk.

Risk free rate of return - 4 percent

market return - 11 percent

Beta - 0.65

4 + 0.65(11 - 4)

4 + 0.65(7)

4 + 4.55

=8.55 percent

Answer:

Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%  

Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6

Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%  

Return on common stockholders’ equity =  net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%  

Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Earnings attributable to common is net income minus preferred stock dividends

Net income is $361,000

Weighted average number of common stock is 203,000 shares

basic earnings per share= $326,830/203,000=$1.61

The correct option is B,$1.61
