Answer:
a. 5.40%
Explanation:
First, I will calculate the new cost of equity for both stock X and Y:
Required rate of return = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)
Re stock X = 8% + (1.6 x 6%) = 8% + 9.6% = 17.6%
Re stock Y = 8% + (0.7 x 6%) = 8% + 4.2% = 12.2%
The difference between the required rate of return = 17.6% - 12.2% = 5.4%

Answer:
Qualifying widower with a dependent child
Explanation:
By filing as a widower with dependent child (the child is a necessary qualification requirement), Bob can use the same tax bracket and retain the same benefits as filing as married. This means that his income will be taxed at a lower rate than if he had filed as single, and he will obtain the same deduction as a married couple (twice the deduction for a single filer).
Answer:
d. $1,875 unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct material quantity variance is computed as;
= (AQ - SQ) × SP
AQ = Actual quantity = 6,300 units
SQ = Standard quantity = 14,200 / 2 = 7,300 units
SP = Standard price = $0.80
Direct material quantity variance
= (6,300 - 7,300) × 0.80
= -1,000 × $0.80
= -1,875 unfavorable
