Answer:

e) 3.38%

Explanation:

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

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

For A

= 4.25% + 0.70 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 0.70 × 6.75%

= 4.25% + 4.725%

= 8.975%

For B

= 4.25% + 1.20 × (11.00% - 4.25%)

= 4.25% + 1.20× 6.75%

= 4.25% + 8.1%

= 12.35%

So, the difference would be

=  12.35% - 8.975%

= 3.375%

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

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

d.$12.40

Explanation:

The computation of the  per unit cost is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ Number of units produced

where,

Total cost = Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Factory overhead cost

= $4,400 + $5,600 + $2,400

= $12,400

And, the units produced = 1,000 units

So per unit cost equal to

= $12,400 ÷ 1,000 units

= $12.40

Refer to the diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Decrease the money supply from $120 to $100

Explanation:

If the monetary authorities reduces aggregate demand from AD3 to AD2, money supply decreases from $120 to $100. This decrease will cause a decrease in consumer spending. There will be a reduction of price levels and real output.

This is also called contractionary monetary policy and it causes interest rate to be higher there by reducing investments.

PW = FW×(1+i)^-n

PW = $19340×1.15^-1 + $2280×1.15^-2 + $26600×1.15^-3 + $24240×1.15^-4 + $8770×1.15^-5 = $54250.90

hence PW = $54250.90
