Answer:
$14,016 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the raw materials price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 23,360 liters × ($5.40 - $4.80)
= 23,360 liters × $0.6

Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.10%
Explanation:
<em>Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return. </em>
Ke=( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g
g- growth rate in dividend, P- price of the stock, Ke- required return, D- dividend payable in now
DATA
D0- (1+g) = 5.05
g- 3.60%
P- 77.75
Note that the D0× (1+g) simply implies the dividend expected in year one, that is one year from now. And this has been given as 5.05 in the question, hence there is no need to apply the growth rate again.
Cost of equity = (5.05/77.75 + 0.036)× 100= 10.095%
Cost of equity = 10.10%
