Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
And, the market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return is also known as the market risk premium
As we can see that the Alcoa contains high beta as compared to Hormel Foods so the Alcoa has a higher equity cost of capital
And, the higher rate is
= (Excess return of the market) × (Alcoa beta - Hormel foods beta)
= (3%) × (1.85 - 0.39)
= 3% × 1.46
= 4.38%

Answer: $65
Explanation: Under the FIFO method, that is, first in first out method inventory is recorded on the assumption that the goods that were purchased first will also be sold first and the remaining inventory will have the latest purchased units.
So, in the given question the two units sold would be costing $80 and $95
Hence,
Gross profit = $240 - ($80 + $95)
= $65
Answer:
I. Present values increase as the discount rate increases.
and
III. Present values are smaller than future values when both r and t are positive.
Answer:
Materials handling= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= $95 per inspection
Explanation:
<u>To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 60,000/1,000= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= 55,000/500= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= 57,000/600= $95 per inspection
