iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The order should be accepted as it will icnrease contribution by 2,700 dollars

Sales revenue            112,500

variable cost             (106,800)

additional fixed cost  <u>  (3,000)</u>

contribution                  2,700

Explanation:

We have to calculate the variable cost to compare against the offer sales price:

COGS

2,600,000 x 70% =   1,820,000

Operating expense

840,000 x 80% =          672,000

total variable               2,492,000

variable per unit:  

2,492,000   /    350,000  = 7.12

we now calculate the contribution of the order and subtract the additional cost:

15,000 units x (7.50 - 7.12) -3,000 additional shipping

contribution 2,700

Research suggests that a firm with greater multimarket contact is __________ likely to initiate an attack, but __________ likely
Mariana [72]

Answer:

less, more

Explanation:

Research suggests that a firm with greater multi market contact is <u>less</u> likely to initiate an attack, but <u>more</u> likely to respond aggressively when attacked.

<u>Multimarket contact occurs when firms compete with the same rivals in multiple markets. </u>

When firms compete with each other in more than one market, their competitive behavior may differ from that of single-market rivals. They do not respond as aggressive as they would have if contact or competition were to be in just one market.

Multimarket contact gives a firm more options to respond to actions or attacks by a rival in other markets other than in the market being challenged. <u>As a result, multimarket competitors may hesitate to attack in one market for fear of retaliation in other markets. </u>

<u>Multimarket competition may therefore reduce the competitive intensity among rivals, an effect known as mutual forbearance. </u>

A disadvantage of the free cash flow valuation method is A. The free cash flow method is not used widely in practice. B. The ter
SSSSS [86.1K]

The main disadvantage of the valuation method is that the terminal value tends to dominate the total value in many cases.

In a free cash flow valuation, the intrinsic value equals present value of its free cash flow and thus, the net cash flow is left over for distribution to stockholders and debt-holders in each period.

  • So, the disadvantage of the free cash flow valuation method is that the terminal value tends to dominate the total value in many cases.

Hence, the Option B is correct.

You own a portfolio consisting of the following​ stocks:
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

expected return is 15.8%

portfolio beta is 94.5%

Explanation:

a. EXPECTED RETURN: to calculate the the expected return of, we simply multiply each of the stock percentage by its expected return and then sum it up. thus we have

0.2×0.16 + 0.3×0.14 + 0.15×0.2 + 0.25×0.12 + 0.1×0.24= 0.158

Multiply the result by 100% yields 15.8%

B. PORTFOLIO BETA: to calculate the portfolio beta, we simply multiply the weighted average of the stock percentage by the portfolio beta. thus we have;

0.2×1 + 0.3×0.85 + 0.15×1.2 + 0.25×0.6 + 0.1×1.6= 0.945

multiply the result by 100% yields 94.5%

A stock has a required return of 11%; the risk-free rate is 7%; and the market risk premium is 4%.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The Beta is 1

The required return increases to 13%

Explanation:

The formula for required return is given below:

Required Return = Risk-Free Rate of Return + β(Market Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return)

required return is 11%

risk-free rate of return=7%

Beta is unknown

market return-risk free rate of return is market risk premium is 4%

11%=7%+beta(4%)

11%-7%=beta*4%

4%=beta*4%

beta=4%/4%

beta=1

If the market risk premium increased to 6%,required return is calculated thus:

required return=7%+1(6%)

required return =13%

This implies that the riskier the stock, the higher the market risk premium, the higher the required return to investors.
