Answer:

The beta of the new project is 1.475

Explanation:

The beta is the measure of systematic or market risk associated to a stock. The beta is used in the calculation of the required/expected rate of return under the CAPM model. The CAPM model uses the following formula to calculate the required/expected rate of return,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Plugging in the available variables, we can calculate the value of the beta.

0.154 = 0.036 + Beta * (0.116 - 0.036)

0.154 - 0.036 = Beta * 0.08

0.118 / 0.08 = Beta

Beta = 1.475

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa

Radda [10]

Answer:

$1170839.28 dyn/cm^2$

16.9816 psia

$117.083928 kN/m^2$

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G$

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water ( $P_{w}$ ) and mercury( $P_{Hg}$ ), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

$P= \rho g h$ (*)

where $\rho$ is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations ( $P_{atm}$ , height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( $P_{atm}$ , $P_{w}$ and $P_{Hg}$ ). Note that the units "x" mmHg means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

$mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}$

$mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O$

And pressure of water in mmHg is

$0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg$

The absolute pressure is:

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246 = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg$

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

$P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}$

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/ $cm^2$ to kN/ $m^2$ (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is $10^{-8}$ kN and 1 $cm^2$ is $10^{-4} m^2$ .

$1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2$

Now passing kN/ $m^2$ to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

$117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia$

Cost Flow Relationships

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(A) Cost of goods sold=$7,175,000

(B) Direct material cost= $3,655,000

(C) Direct labor cost= $2,825,000

Explanation:

(A) The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows

Cost of goods sold= Sales-gross profit

Sales= $12,375,000

Gross profit= $5,200,000

Cost of goods sold= $12,375,000-$5,200,000

= $7,175,000

(B) The direct materials cost can be calculated as follows

Direct cost of materials= materials purchased-indirect materials-materials inventory

Materials purchased= 4,125,000

Indirect materials= 180,000

Materials inventory= 290,000

Direct materials cost= 4,125,000-180,000-290,000

= $3,655,000

(C) The direct labor costs can be calculated as follows

Direct labor costs= Total manufacturing cost for the specified period-direct materials-factory overhead

Total manufacturing costs= 7,880,000

Direct materials= 3,655,000

Factory overhead= indirect labor+indirect materials+other factory overhead

= 410,000+180,000+810,000

= 1,400,000

Direct labor costs= 7,880,000-3,655,000-1,400,000

= $2,825,000

When Galaxy Ventures, a real estate company, entered the low-cost housing business, the market was already saturated with other

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The answer is Late-mover disadvantages

Explanation:

A late mover is a company that enters a business some time after the business pioneers and early followers.

From the question above, Galaxy Ventures is a late mover in the low-cost housing business. They were at a huge disadvantage, and this includes:

First of all, lack of customer loyalty and substantial dividends (from the question).
The pioneers and early followers can set the business standards which may be difficult for a late mover to follow.
The pioneer can easily create entry barriers that a late-mover might find difficult to break.

Scenario: assume that you are a cashier and your manager requires that you immediately enter each sale when it occurs. recently,

soldier1979 [14.2K]

As a cashier it is your responsibility to follow the manager's instruction of entering each sale immediately after it occurs. Now, if the assistant manager told you otherwise, do not follow it because you might miss any sale if it will be entered later. Even if it is lunch hour traffic, this is also a crucial time to not make errors.
