Answer: $14.5 million
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question;
Total equipment cost = $4.2 million
Direct cost factor = 1.52
Indirect cos factor = 0.37
The total plant cost will then be calculated as:
= 4.2 × (1 + 1.52) × (1 + 0.37)
= 4.2 × 2.52 × 1.37
= 14.5
Therefore, the total plant cost is $14.5 million
Answer:
$237,121.76
Explanation:
Compounding is the computation of the future value of a present amount while the opposite of compounding which is the determination of a present value of a future amount is discounting. the relationship between present and future value is given as
Fv = Pv (1 + r)^n
where
Fv = future value
Pv = Present value
n = time
r = rate
Fv = 217000(1 + 0.03) ^3
= $237,121.76
The worth of the home purchased 3 year ago now is $237,121.76
Answer:

Answer:
Alpha for A is 1.40%; Alpha for B is -0.2%.
Explanation:
First, we use the CAPM to calculate the required returns of the two portfolios A and B given the risks of the two portfolios( beta), the risk-free return rate ( T-bill rate) and the Market return rate (S&P 500) are given.
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for A x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 0.7 x (13% - 5%) = 10.6%;
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for B x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 1.4 x (13% - 5%) = 16.2%;
Second, we compute the alphas for the two portfolios:
Portfolio A: Expected return of A - Required return of A = 12% - 10.6% = 1.4%;
Portfolio B: Expected return of B - Required return of B = 16% - 16.2% = -0.2%.
