Explanation:
The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Answer:
A. the FCAC is less than the TBC
Explanation:
If the amount of cumulated actual costs is less than difference between the total budgeted cost and the re-estimate, then the FCAC is less than the TBC
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%
