Answer:

1. Using CAPM, the required return is;

Required return = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium

= 6% + 1.5 * 9%

= 19.5%

2. First find the portfolio beta which is a weighted average of the individual betas;

= (60% * 2.4) + (40% * 0.9)

= 1.8

Now use CAPM

= risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.8 * (13% - 4%)

= 20.2%

3.Geometric average can be calculated by;

=( ((1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3)) ^1/n) - 1

= (((1 + 6%) * (1 + 10%) * (1 - 6%)) ^ 1/3) - 1

= ‭(1.09604‬^1/3) - 1

= 3.1%

Santorino Company produces two models of a component, Model K-3 and Model P-4. The unit contribution margin for Model K-3 is $6;
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour) = $24 per hour

Explanation:

The question falls under the limiting factor analysis

<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that </em><em>it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

Therefore Santario Company should allocate the machine hours to maximize the contribution per unit of machine hour.

Contribution per unit of scare resource is determine as follows:

Contribution per unit of scare resource for Model K-3

Contribution per unit of Model K-3 = $6

Machine time per unit =  15 minutes

<em>Contribution per unit of scare resource in minutes</em>

=Contribution per unit/Machine time per unit

= 46/15 minutes

= $0.4 per minute

Contribution per unit of scare resource (in hour)

$0.4 per minutes× 60

= $24 per hour

you are billed $300 at 5% simple interest for 2 years but given an opportunity to pay only 3% compound interest for 2 years. Whi
balandron [24]
This question is a bit tricky to answer because it does not state how often interest rate is applied so lets say for the simple 5% interest rate the rate of interest was calculated after 2 years you would pay a total interest of $15 since interest was only calculated once but for the 3% calculating every year with compound it would be a total of 18.27 dollars in interest but then you would have to calculate the 5% simple interest the same way which would total to $30 if calculated once a year being more than the 3% compound. But lets say interest is calculated once a month your total for the 5% simple interest would be $360 dollars interest for those 2 years and the 3% compound would be $406.97 dollars in interest. So over all the less amount of times interest compounds the less interest there is making it more worth than the simple but if the compounding occurs more frequently the simple 5% interest is more worth it. In this situation I think it might just be yearly interest which makes the 3% compound more worth taking for this short amount of time.

The price of crude oil increases 50%. This will cause a change in ( supply/ quality supplied )
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A price increase motivates suppliers to avail more products for sale in the markets. High prices tend to have a high margin hence more profits. Like other businesses, oil producers are profit-motivated; they will supply more quantities if there is a high probability of making more profits.

The law of supply explains the correlation between supply and price. As prices increase, supply also tends to increase.
