Answer:
r or expected rate of return = 0.13 or 13%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
r = 0.04 + 1.80 * (0.09 - 0.04)
r or expected rate of return = 0.13 or 13%
Answer:
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
Explanation:
First-In-First-Out is a method of inventory valuation whereby the stock that comes in first, is used first. This is common for inventory consisting of perishables, such as vegetables where if not used/sold soon, it would be wasted.
Jan 31: Purchases = $20 x 100 units = $2000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
Feb 28: Purchases = $30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Sales = 150 units x $45:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 50 units = $1500
<em><u>Remaining inventory</u></em>
200 - 150 = 50 units x $30 = $1500
<em>Thus,</em>
Cost of Goods Sold = $3500 ($2000 + $1500)
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
Answer:
Price of stock = $40
Explanation:
According to the dividend growth model, the price of a stock is the present value of expected dividend discounted at the required rate of return.
This is done as follows:
Price of a stock = D×(1+r)/(r-g)
D(1+g) - Dividend for next year = 100%-40%× $3 = $1.8
g- growth rate - 10%
r- required rate of return - 15%
Price of stock = 1.8× (1.1)/(0.15-0.1)
= $40

Answer:
B. Holly's statement is normative, but Ben's is positive.
Explanation:
