Answer:

18.80%

Explanation:

Data given

Risk free rate = 4%

Beta = 1.85

Market return = 12%

The computation of rate of return is shown below:-

Using CAPM

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

= 4% + 1.85 × (12% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.85 × 8%

= 4% + 14.8%

= 18.80%

Therefore for computing the rate of return we simply applied the above formula.

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following man
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Silven Industries

If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes

Manufacturing cost per box:      Avoidable costs

Direct material              $ 3.70           $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)

Direct labor                      2.00             0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)

Manufacturing overhead 1.60              0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)

Total cost                      $ 7.30            $1.10

Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box

b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier.  Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.

A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that female shoppers have little value for microwaves and attribute almost no extra
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

For simplicity, assume there is only 1 man and 1 woman and that if the price of a microwave is equal to an individual's willingness to pay, the individual will purchase the microwave.

  • If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for women and one with auto-defrost for men.

Strategy                     Revenue           Revenue             Total Revenue

                                  from men          from women        from strategy

1. Auto-Defrost             $82                      $82                   $164

Microwave only

at $82

2. Auto-Defrost           $148                     $0                     $148

Microwave  only

at $148

3. Simple                      $131                    $66                    $197

Microwave at $66,

Auto-Defrost

Microwave at $131

Suppose that, instead of one man and one woman, the market for this microwave consisted entirely of men. For simplicity, you can assume this means that there are two men, and no women. Under these conditions, pricing strategy <u>2. Auto-Defrost Microwave  only at $148</u> would maximize revenue for the manufacturer.

Two products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $16,300 of the total joint costs of $37,000.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Net profit will be reduced by $5,700

Explanation:

The computation of financial advantage (disadvantage) is shown below:-

Gain from selling at the split-off point = Sold split-off point × Total units

= $11 × 2,300

= $25,300

Gain from Processing further = Sold units × Total units - Processing cost

= $13 × 2,300 - $10,300

= $29,900 - $10,300

= $19,600

Decrease in overall profit = Gain from selling at the split-off point - Gain from Processing further

= $25,300 - $19,600

= $5,700

Therefore, if commodity QI is further processed and sold, then net profit will be reduced by $5,700

Operating income and tax rates for C.J. Company’s first three years of operations were as
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Correct option is C ; the DTA - Deferred tax asset  is $300,000

Explanation:

For losses of Year 2015 DTA should be created at 31/12/2015 as due to this loss future income will get reduced and consequently company's tax liability will get reduced.

DTA = 750,000 x 40% = 300,000

In year 2016 tax rate is 40% so DTA will be at this rate as after setting off the loss of year 2015 with income of 2016 the company will benefit by 750000 x 40%=300000 due to lesser income tax liability.

Hence the DTA - Deferred tax asset  is $300,000
