Answer: d. The actual expected stock return indicates the stock is currently underpriced.

Explanation:

According to CAPM, the expected return is:

= Risk free rate + beta * (market return - risk free rate)

= 4.3% + 1.14 * (12.01% - 4.3%)

= 13.09%

The actual expected return is greater than the CAPM expected return.

This stock is underpriced because it is bringing in a higher return than CAPM predicted based on the market.

A $2.00 increase in a product's variable expense per unit accompanied by a $2.00 increase in its selling price per unit will: A)
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A) decrease the degree of operating leverage

Explanation:

The contribution margin is

sales - variable:

(sales + 2) - (variable + 2) = sales - variable

no change

so B is FALSE

as the contribution margin ratio is:

(sales - variable ) / sales

this increase will impact the contribution margin ratio.

(sales + 2 - (variable +2))/ (sales + 2)

(sales - variable) / (sales + 2)

the CMR will decrease.

so D is FALSE

the break-even on sales will increase as the CMR decreases

more units are needed to fullfil the fixed cost

so C is FALSE

A) decrease the degree of operating leverage

ΔEBIT / Δrevenue

sales increase and the variable cost increases

a change in the sales revenue will not be as efficient as it was before the degree of leverage will decrease.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

decrease in marginal cost for firms in the industry and an increase in the industry supply curve

Explanation:

Supply is the ability of suppliers to produce goods to meet demand for that good at a particular period in time.

There will be an increase in demand when procedures for production are more efficient and when cost reduces.

In this case where there is a technological advance that improves productivity, the suppliers will be able to produce more goods at less cost.

So marginal cost will decrease because of the improved technology and supply will increase because of more efficient process of production.
