Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.

Brewer Inc. has 5,000 shares of 8%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $1 par value common stock ou
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

option 3 is correct answer that is $ 25000

Explanation:

Annual dividend paid to stakeholder = 5000\times $50\times 8% =$20,000

Dividend declared and paid in 2013 = $15,000

Preferred dividend = $20,000 -$15,000

                                = $5,000

since the available stocks are cumulative, No dividend has paid to common stockholders in the year  2014 until dividends in 2013 and annual dividends for the year  2014 are paid in full

therefore, $60,000 dividends declared and paid in 2014, the preferred stock holders will receive $5000 for 2013 dividend  and $ 20,000 for 2014 dividends

total dividends received by preferred stock holder in 2014 $5000 + $20,000

= $25,000

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$14,000 under applied

Explanation:

Given that

Material production = $203,000

Application rate = 150%

The computation of amount of overhead is shown below:-

Overhead = Material production × Application rate

= $203,000 - ($126,000 × 1.5)

= $203,000 - $189,000

= $14,000 under applied

Therefore, for computing the overhead we simply multiply the material production with application rate percentage.
