Answer:
a. 16.50%
Explanation:
Find the beta as of last year using CAPM;
CAPM ; r = risk free + beta(Market risk premium)
0.125 = 0.03 + beta(0.0475)
Subtract 0.03 from both sides;
0.125-0.03 = 0.0475beta
0.095 = 0.0475beta
Divide both sides by 0.0475;
0.095/0.0475 = beta
beta = 2
Next, use CAPM again to find the new required return with a market risk premium is 4.75%+ 2% = 6.75%
r = 0.03 + 2(0.0675)
r = 0.03 + 0.135
r = 0.165 or 16.5%
Therefore, the new required return is 16.5%
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
Specific identification method of inventory is the method which helps in finding the ending cost of the inventory. And this method need the detailed physical count, as it helps the company in making or knowing how many goods brought on particular dates which is remained at the end of the year inventory.

Answer:
2014 CPI= 101.5
2013 CPI= 100.8333333
2014 Inflation Rate= 0.66%
Explanation:
Consumer Price Index (CPI):
The index is calculated by taking the price of the basket in one year and dividing it by the price of the basket in another year. This ratio is then multiplied by 100.
Basket Price:
is the sum of the product of the quantitys and prices of the goods thata compose the basket for any given year.
Inflation Rate:
CPI (x+1) - CPI (x)
_____________
CPI (x)
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total is shown below:-
For material = 2,080 × $15.66
= $32,572.80
For conversion = 930 × $6.23
= $5,793.90
For total cost of work in process inventory = $32,572.80 + $5,793.90
= $38,366.70
b. The computation of cost of the units completed and transferred out for materials, conversion, and in total is shown below:-
For material = 21,700 × $15.66
= $339,822
For Conversion = 21,700 × $6.23
= $135,191
For total cost of completed and transferred units = $339,822 + $135,191
= $475,013
Answer:
c. increasing; $62.5
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75
= 1 ÷ 0.25
= 4
Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP
So, the government spending would be increased by
= $250 billion ÷ 4
= $62.5
Hence, the correct option is c.
