Explanation:
Answer:
d. An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return of 11%.
Explanation:
required rate of return for a market indexed portfolio = 6% + (1 x 5%) = 11%
If the required rate of return is less than 11%, the beta is lower than 1.
If the required rate of return is more than 11%, the beta is larger than 1.
If beta doubles, then the required rate of return = 6% x (2 x 5%) = 16%
The company should sell product xy as it is
and should not process it further.
Given:
Original
Incurred cost of $5,000
No. of units is 6,400
Price per unit is $33
Processed product
No. of units is 6,400
Costs for further processing is $8/unit
New price per unit is $39
First, know the total costs
Original: $5,000
Processed: 6,400 x $8 = $51,200
Next, find the sales revenue for the original
and processed product
Original: $33 x 6,400 = $211,200
Processed: $39 x 6,400 = $249,600
Then, get the net profit for the original and
processed product
Original: $211,200 - $5,000 = $206,200
Processed: $249,600 - $51,200 = $198,400
With the data provided, you can find out that
the net profit is higher on the original/unprocessed product compared to the
processed product even if the selling price and revenue is much higher.
