Answer:

c. 9.21%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For stock A

12% = 4.75% + 1.30 × market risk premium

12% - 4.75% = 1.30 × market risk premium

7.25% =  1.30 × market risk premium

So, the market risk premium = 5.58%

For Stock B, required rate of return would be

= 4.75% + 0.80 × 5.58%

= 4.75% + 4.464%

= 9.214%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                           Beck Inc.       Bryant Inc.

Sales                                $219,400         $585,000

Income from operations $73,000          $195,000

Total costs                     $146,400         $390,000

Operating leverage             1.8                     1.2

Operating leverage = Contribution Margin/Income from operations

Increase in Sales by 15%

                                           Beck Inc.       Bryant Inc.

A manager of a taco stand is interested in advertising to get more lunch time customers, but doesn’t know how much time it takes
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

R = 4 customers per minute

I = 12 customers in line

average time (T) = 3 minutes per customer

Explanation:

if we follow Little's Law and its assumptions: L = λW

  • L = average number of clients in line = 12
  • λ = arrival or departure rate = 4 per minute
  • W = average waiting time

W = L / λ

average waiting time = average number of clients in line / average number of clients arriving (or departing) = 12 / 4 = 3 minutes

Little's Law can also be written as I = RT

I = L

R = λ
