Answer:

E) A is higher, and F is lower.

Explanation:

If the farmer is risk averse, he tends to always take the decision which will minimize risk.

His financial assets (A) are not affected by floods, so the higher they are, less likely he will be to pay for flood insurance.

If P is the likelihood of a flood happening, the lower the risk P, then the lower the willingness to pay for flood insurance will be.

If F is lower, then the farmer is unlikely to spend money insuring the farm.

Therefore, analyzing the answer choices, the only that fits the above description is E) A is higher, and F is lower.

b. What are the total equivalent units for conversion costs?

129,700 units

c. What is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials?

Total Direct Materials Cost

 $495,300

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total Direct Materials Cost / total equivalent units for direct materials

$3.25

d. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs?

Total conversion costs

$324,250

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total conversion costs / total equivalent units for conversion

$2.50

e. What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?

$615,250

f. What is the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP?

$204,300

Explanation:

a. What are the total equivalent units for direct materials?

Completed and Transferred (107,000 × 100%) = 107,000 units

Ending Work In Process (45,400 × 100%)         = 45,400 units

Total equivalent units                                         = 152,400 units

b. What are the total equivalent units for conversion costs?

Completed and Transferred (107,000 × 100%) = 107,000 units

Ending Work In Process (45,400 × 50%)           = 22,700 units

Total equivalent units                                         = 129,700 units

c. What is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials?

Total Direct Materials Cost

Beginning Work In Process $53,200

Added                                   $442,100

Total Direct Materials          $495,300

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total Direct Materials Cost / total equivalent units for direct materials

                                         = $495,300/ 152,400 units

                                         = $3.25

d. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs?

Total conversion costs

Beginning Work In Process $19,600

Added                                   $304,650

Total conversion costs         $324,250

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total conversion costs / total equivalent units for conversion

                                          =$324,250/ 129,700 units

                                         = $2.50

e. What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?

Raw Materials ( $3.25 × 107000) = $347,750

Conversion($2.50 × 107000) =       $267,500

Total                                                  $615,250

f. What is the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP?

Raw Materials ( $3.25 × 45,400) = $147,550

Conversion($2.50 × 22,700)       =  $56,750

The market risk premium is computed by: adding the risk-free rate of return to the inflation rate. adding the risk-free rate of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

subtracting the risk-free rate of return from the market rate of return

Explanation:

Market risk premium is the premium over the risk free rate that investors demand for holding a risky asset

Market risk premium = market rate of return - risk free rate

the higher the risk premium, the higher the return investors are demanding and the riskier the investment

for example if risk free rate is 5% , market rate of return in industry A is 10% while in industry B it is 20%

Market premium in A = 10% - 5% = 5%

Market premium in b = 20% - 5% = 15%
