Answer:
2.2
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)
18% = 7% + Beta × 5%
18% - 7% = Beta × 5%
11% = Beta × 5%
So, the beta would be
= 2.2
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as market risk premium and the same has applied.
Answer:
$400
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the minimum acceptable price of this special order
Using this formula
Minimum acceptable price=Direct materials+ Direct labor+ Manufacturing support +Marketing costs
Let plug in the formula
Minimum acceptable price=$140 + $100 + $105 + $55
Minimum acceptable price=$400
Therefore the minimum acceptable price of this special order is $400
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole, unlike microeconomics which is the study of the individual firms/markets.
Macroeconomics focuses on the standard of living, unemployment rate, inflation rate etc. and how this affects the whole economy.
Option A is wrong because it is the microeconomics and not macroeconomics that studies the market and the firm.
Option B and D are wrong because these are for microeconomics
Answer:
New price (P1) = $72.88
Explanation:
Given:
Risk-free rate of interest (Rf) = 5%
Expected rate of market return (Rm) = 17%
Old price (P0) = $64
Dividend (D) = $2
Beta (β) = 1.0
New price (P1) = ?
Computation of expected rate on return:
Expected rate on return (r) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 1.0(17% - 5%)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 1.0(12%)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 12%
Expected rate on return (r) = 17%
Computation:
Expected rate on return (r) = (D + P1 - P0) / P0
17% = ($2 + P1 - $64) / $64
0.17 = (2 + P1 - $64) / $64
10.88 = P1 - $62
New price (P1) = $72.88
