Answer:

Return on investment=12.81%

Explanation:

Return on investment for a stock comprises of the capitals and dividend earned on the stock.

The capital gain is the difference between he cost of the shares when it was bought and the value when it is sold.

Capital gain = (24.50 -22)× 500= 1250

Dividend earned for a year = 0.32× 500 =160

Total return = 1250 + 160 =1,410

Total return = $1,410

Cost of the shares= 11,000

Return on investment = total return/cost of shares× 100

=1,410 /11,000 × 100= 12.81

Return on investment=12.81%

marin [14]

As general approach, the manufacturing rate, along with any rate is done by dividing the cost by a cost driver.

$\frac{Cost\:Of\: Manufacturing\: Overhead}{Cost\: Driver}= $Overhead \:Rate$

In this case teh cost is the manufacturing overhead and the cost driver the direct materials cost:

$\frac{1,270,000}{1,010,000}= $Overhead Rate$

Using Direct Materials cost, the rate would be:

$1.257425743= $Overhead Rate$
