Answer:

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rpM is the market risk premium

Under CAPM, the assumption follows that the beta of the market is always equal to 1.

So, expected return on the stock market will be,

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.06 + 1 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

The beta of the stock is given. We calculate the required rate of return on the stock to be,

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.06 + 1.9 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%

The figures will have to be converted from Euros to US$ for the calculation.

The relevant exchange rate will be the rate on the date of the transaction.

Amount Exchange rate $Amount

Opening cash 528,000 1.14 ‭601,920‬

Increase in Cash assets:

Sale of inventory 160,000 1.20 192,000

688,000 793,920‬

Decrease in cash assets:

Acquisition of warehouse 300,000 1.14 (342,000)

Purchase of inventory 100,000 1.18 (118,000)

Transfer to parent 10,000 1.18 (11,800)

Ending net cash assets 278,000 ‭ 322,120‬

Remeasurement gain(loss) at 31 December = Ending net cash assets at current rate - Ending net cash assets

= (278,000 * 1.08) - 322,120

= ‭300,240‬ - 322,120

= ($21,970)

I am not sure what your other choices are, but this choice is not correct.

Economies of scale deal with marginal costs and NOT total costs. You would always expect TOTAL costs to go up when you produce more of an item, even when you have economies of scale. Economies of scale says that costs go up LESS with each new unit up until a certain point
