A long-term competitive advantage that is not easily to duplicate or surpassable by the competitors.
it allows the firm to earn excess returns for its shareholders.
Answer: 1.66
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the beta of the stock will be calculated as follows:
Expected return = 16.2%
Market return = 11.2%
Inflation rate = 3.1%
Risk-free rate of return = 3.6%
We should note that:
Expected return = risk-free rate + Beta × (market rate- risk-free rate)
Therefore,
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × (11.2% - 3.6%)
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × 7.6%
16.2% - 3.6% = Beta × 7.6%
12.6% = Beta × 7.6%
Beta = 12.6% / 7.6%
Beta = 1.66
Answer:
A) Price 7,080 U
B) Quantity 4,630.5 U
C) Total 11.710,5 U
Explanation:
DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES
std cost $3.45
actual cost $3.65
quantity 35,400
difference $(0.20)
price variance $(7,080.00)
std quantity 36110.00
actual quantity 35400.00
std cost $3.45
difference 710.00
quantity variance $2,449.50
Total Variance: 2,449.5 - 7,080 = -4.630,5
Answer:
b. $4,908,000
Explanation:
According to the FASB GAAP, the straight line method is used in this given question which is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ (15 years)
= ($36,810,000) ÷ (15 years)
= $2,454,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
For two years, the accumulated depreciation would be
= Annual year depreciation × number of years
= $2,454,000 × 2 years
= $4,908,000
