Answer:
C. increase by about 6 percent.
Explanation:
Since,

Sales = $ 120,
Original expenses = $ 65
Thus, contribution margin ratio = 
New expenses = $ 58,
Thus, contribution margin ratio = 
∵ 52 - 46 = 6,
Hence, the CMR is increased by 6%.

Explanation:
The call option is a derivative in which an investor buys an option to buy the asset at a certain price. The value of the call option is determined by maturity. The buyer of call option can buy an asset at a strike price before expiration date.
If the investor buys the call option for $4 then the $4 is an expense for the investor. The value of call will be -4 unless the stock price is above $50.
If the investor buys the call option for $6.5 then the $6.5 is an expense for the investor. The value of call will be -6.5 unless the stock price is below $50.
Answer:
The answer is: $18, 750
Explanation:
The double-declining-balance(DDB) method entails computing depreciation of an asset at an accelerated rate. This method is employed when the asset loses value quickly and is expected to generate more revenue at the earlier stages of its useful life. The depreciation is higher at the beginning and lower close to the end of the asset's useful life. The depreciation is computed as follows:
Depreciation = 2 * straight line depreciation percentage * Book value at the beginning of the period
Machine cost: $75, 000
Residual Value: $5, 000
Estimated Life: 4 years/18, 000 hours
Straight line depreciation percentage : 100/4 = 25%
Depreciation Year 1 on DDB = 2 * 25% * $75, 000
= $37, 500
Depreciation Year 2 on DDB = 2 * 25% * ($75, 000 -$37, 500)
= $18, 750
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model or CAPM for short can be used to calculate expected return in the following manner,
Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)
Rf = Risk free rate
B = Beta
Rm= Market return.
Plugging the figures in we have
Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)
= 0.04 + 1(0.1 - 0.04)
= 0.1
= 10%
