The expected rate of inflation built into rRF falls by 1.5 percentage points, the real risk-free rate remains constant, the required return on the market falls to 10.5%, and all betas remain constant. After all of these changes, what will be the difference (in percentage points) in the required returns for HRI and LRI? A. 3.8% B. 0.9% C. 1.5% D. 2.4% E. 3.5%

Answer:

None of above options are correct. 7.8% .

Explanation:

Rf = 5.5% - 1.5% = 4%

Rhri = 4% + 1.8*(10.5% - 4%) = 15.7%

Rlri = 4% + 0.6*(10.5% - 4%) = 7.9%

Difference = 15.7% - 7.9% = 7.8%

The difference (in percentage points) in the required returns for HRI and LRI is 7.8%

= $61,500

3. Variable cost per unit of 8,000 produced and sold:

= $11.55

4. Variable cost per unit of 12,500 produced and sold:

= $11.55

5. Total variable costs for 8,000 units produced and sold:

= 8,000 * $11.55

= $92,400

6. Total variable costs for 12,500 units produced and sold:

= 12,500 * $11.55

= $144,375

7. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 8,000 units:

= $4.00

8. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 12,500 units:

= $4.00

9. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 x $4.00

= $32,000

10. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $4.00

= $50,000

11. Total amount of manufacturing overhead costs for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 * $5.60

= $44,800

per unit = $5.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

12. Total amount of manufacturing overhead for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $5.60

= $70,000

per unit = $5.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

13. Contribution margin per unit:

Selling price =                                          $21.40

Variable manufacturing cost per unit =  $9.90

Contribution margin per unit                  $11.50

14. Total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs for 12,000 units:

Direct manufacturing costs = $9.90 x 12,000 =   $118,800

Indirect manufacturing costs = $4.00 x 12,000 = $48,000

15. Incremental manufacturing cost if Martinez increases production from 10,000 to 10,001:

= $9.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average Cost Per Unit

Direct materials                              $ 5.40

Direct labor                                     $ 2.90

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60

Total Variable Costs per unit        $ 9.90
