Answer:

The required rate of return for the project will be 13.087%

Explanation:

To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,

r = rRf + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069

r = 0.11187 or 11.187%

The discount rate that is usually used for an all equity firm is its required rate of return. Thus, the required rate of return for the project will be,

r = 0.11187 +  0.019

r = 0.13087 or 13.087%

laiz [17]

Answer:

C. straight back chairs will be overcosted

Explanation:

Miller Company makes two types of chairs. One of the chairs is a rocking chair. The other is a straight-back chair. Both chairs are made by hand. Miller Company uses a company-wide overhead rate that is based on direct labor hours to assign overhead costs to the two products. If Miller automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a company-wide allocation basis:

A. rocking chairs will be undercosted

B. There should be no impact on unit cost  

C. straight back chairs will be overcosted

D. rocking chairs will be overcosted.

EXPLANATION

If Miller automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a company-wide allocation basis then the straight back chairs will be overcosted<u> because the automation process directly implies that it no longer drives labor hours since it is no longer made by hand.</u>

Automated processes should use machine hours rather than labor hours, for the allocation of its overhead.

When a competitive market is in​ equilibrium, what is the economically efficient level of​ output? A. any output level where mar
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. the output level where marginal cost is equal to marginal benefit .

Explanation:

Competitive equilibrium Traditional concept of economic equilibrium used for the analysis of  goods markets with flexible prices and many agents, which usually serve as a benchmark for efficiency in economic analysis. Crucially, it depends on the assumption of a context in which each agent makes decisions about such a small amount compared to the total amount traded in the market that their individual transactions have no influence on prices.

It consists of a price system and an allocation of the production and consumption of the economy among the various agents, such that, given the prices, each agent maximizing its objective function (benefits, preferences) subject to restrictions (technological, of resources) plans to trade its share in the proposed allocation, at prices that make all exchanges compatible with each other by balancing the markets, that is, matching the aggregate supply with the demand  aggregate of each of the goods and services traded.
