Why might a construction company build a high-rise building with steel alloy beams instead of pure iron beams?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Steel alloy beams are harder and stronger than pure iron beams. A small amount of carbon makes the steel stronger.

Steel is a well known and commonly used alloy (a mixture of several metals) to build a high rise building because it can be around 1000 times stronger than iron in its pure form. It is made from iron and a small amount of carbon (usually between 0.2% and 2.0% by weight) that makes it stronger and lighter.

Pure iron beams, on the other hand, has the bigger quantity of carbon that makes its structure weak and fragile, thus not fit for high rise building.

Magellan is adding a project to the company portfolio and has the following information: the expected market return is 11.6%,

fredd [130]

Answer:

The beta of the new project is 1.475

Explanation:

The beta is the measure of systematic or market risk associated to a stock. The beta is used in the calculation of the required/expected rate of return under the CAPM model. The CAPM model uses the following formula to calculate the required/expected rate of return,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Plugging in the available variables, we can calculate the value of the beta.

0.154 = 0.036 + Beta * (0.116 - 0.036)

0.154 - 0.036 = Beta * 0.08

0.118 / 0.08 = Beta

Beta = 1.475

rewona [7]

Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale = $12,480

Explanation:

The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of the value of the opening inventory plus the cost of new purchase. The cost of new purchase would include carriage inward cost if any.

For Oriole company , the cost of goods available for sale would be computed as follows:

Opening inventory 2,340

Purchases

June 12 5,460

June 23 4,680 10,140

Cost of goods available for sale 12,480

Note that the sales made are not relevant for the purpose of determining the cost of goods available for sale. Also, the closing inventory would have been deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to arrive at the cost of goods sold should the question require it.
