Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S  (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of two different depreciation schedules is shown below:-

a. Using the Double-declining balance method

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate     Amount

2005                $90,000                     50%                  $45,000

2006                $45,000                      50%                  $22,500

2007                $22,500                      50%                  $11,250

2008 No depreciation as it is lower that straight line method that is $22,500 also we took the double rate of 25% so we consider 50%

b. Using the straight line method

Straight Line Depreciation Method:

$100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate      Amount

2005                $90,000                     25%                      $22,500

2006                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2007                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2008                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

Depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 4 years

=  25

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$1120

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP is shown below:

Y = C + I + G + X

Here Y denotes the GDP

C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and  700 - 50 = $650

I denotes the investment  = $

G denotes the government purchase = $20

X denotes the net exports = $50

So,  

Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50

= $1120

balandron [24]

Answer:

65,000 units

Explanation:

Let the number of units be sold = x

Operating Income= Sales- Variable cost – Fixed Cost

Operating Income = 40x - 24x - 560,000

Operating Income = 16x - 560,000

Return on Investment = Operating Income / Net Operating Assets  

16% = (16x - 560,000  )/ 3,000,000

480,000 = 16x - 560,000

16x = 480,000 + 560,000

16x = 1,040,000

x = 65,000 units
