Answer:

Beta = 2

New required rate of return = 16.50%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

12.50% = 3% + Beta × 4.75%

12.50% - 3% = Beta × 4.75%

So, the beta would be 2

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium

Now the required rate of return would be

= 3% + 2 × 6.75%

= 3% + 13.50%

= 16.50%

Variable costs are costs that vary with production. In this question, they are the cost of purchase of raw meat, wages and fuel costs.

Variable costs = ($20 + $90 + $40) × 3000 = $450,000

The income elasticity of demand for housing property is exactly 1.40. Due to a recession, you expect incomes to drop by 5% next
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Buy 7% less houses

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income

Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in income

1.40 = percentage change in quantity demanded/ 5%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 1.4 × 5% = 7%

Because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is income elastic. This means quantity demanded is responsive to changes in income. A fall in income would reduce the quantity demanded.

I hope my answer helps you
