Answer:

Option C is correct.

<u>The required rate of return for Mercury Inc., assuming that investors expect a 5% rate of inflation in the future is 18%.</u>

Explanation:

Real risk free rate = 3%

Inflation Premium = 5%

Nominal risk free rate Rf = Real risk free rate + Inflation Premium = 3% + 5% = 8%

Market risk premium (Rm –Rf) = 5%

Beta = 2

As per CAPM, required rate of return = Rf + beta * (Rm – Rf) = 8% + 2 * 5% = 18%

yaroslaw [1]

Inventory  value of Cold stone Corporation as on 31/12/2021 is $ 58,600 at cost value and $61,530 at retail value

Explanation:

In the United Kingdom, Retail price index is a measure of inflation published monthly by the Office for National Statistics. It measures the change in the cost of a representative sample of retail goods and services.

LIFO - last in first out method .,means the inventory purchased in last will be sold first.

opening inventory and closing inventory always calculated at cost price only

Cost of sales = sales- markup  

= $846,000 - $11,000  = $835,000

Closing inventory value

=  cost of sales - purchases - opening inventory

= $835,000 - $693,600  = $141,400 - $200,000 =$ 58,600

= $835,000 - $693,600  = $141,400 - $200,000 =$ 58,600

Retail value of inventory on 31/12/2021

= $ 58,600×1.05= $61,530

= $ 58,600×1.05= $61,530

Answer:

<em>e. concept testing.</em>

Explanation:

Concept testing is the method of determining the likely reaction of the consumer to a product idea prior to advertising.

The purpose of concept testing is to verify that a product idea is superior over competitive solutions to help consumers get a job done through a work-to-be-done lens.

We need to know what measures consumers use to assess the successful implementation of the work-to-be-done to make this decision.

The concept testing procedures succeed because such consumer measures are developed around them.Using this approach is the only idea test method and is an important step in our cycle of development, Outcome-Driven Development (ODI).
