Answer:

=2.98%

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;

CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)

risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal

beta = -0.4

market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;

r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)

r = 0.045 -0.0152

r = 0.0298 or 2.98%

Therefore the required return is 2.98%

A manufacturing department has 50,000 EUP for units completed and transferred out and 4,500 EUP for units in ending inventory. M
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $ 28,125.00

Explanation:

To value inventory, we multiply the cost per equivalent unit of production (cost per EUP) by the the number of equivalent units(EUP)  for each of the cost element.

So the value of the closing inventory, is determined as follows:

Value of inventory = cost per E.U.P × number of E.U.P

Material = $2.50 × 4,500 = 11,250.00

Labour and overhead= $3.75 × 4,500 =  16,875.00

Total amount of work in progress

= 11,250 + 16, 875

= $ 28,125.00

Why might these sources of individual values not prove very helpful when making complex business decisions
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The first part of the question is missing:

"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."

To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.

But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.

When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.

Case D. Stewart Company reports the following inventory record for November:
worty [1.4K]

The cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under each of the following methods: Under the LIFO method, Sales Less: Cost of Goods sold Gross Profit less: Selling, admin, depreciation Income before.

Final in, first out (LIFO) is a technique used to account for inventory. beneath LIFO, the expenses of the maximum recent products bought (or produced) are the primary ones to be expensed. LIFO is used most effectively inside the USA and governed via the commonly ordinary accounting standards (GAAP).

The LIFO method is used within the COGS (value of products sold) calculation while the fees of manufacturing a product or obtaining inventory have been growing. this will be because of inflation.

The ultimate-In, First-Out (LIFO) method assumes that the last unit to arrive in stock or greater latest is offered first. the first-In, First-Out (FIFO) approach assumes that the oldest unit of inventory is sold first.LIFO effects decrease internet earnings because the price of products offered is better, so there may be a decrease in taxable profits.” decreased tax legal responsibility is a key reason some organizations decide on LIFO.

Auditors may decide to perform some tests of controls or not perform any tests of controls, if inherent risk is assessed as ____
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: Moderate or low

Explanation:

Tests of Control are one by auditors to determine the effectiveness of the internal controls in the company in being able to detect accounting errors and anomalies.

If a company seems to have a moderate or low inherent risk the Auditors may or may not initiate Tests of Control due to this reduced risk.

If the company however, has either high or moderate or unusually high risk, the Auditors have to perform Tests of Control to determine where the company is going wrong.
