Answer:

a) Expected Return for Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

b) Expected Return for Farmer's Corp. = 9.5 %

c) The Stock performed better once you take risk into account = Rocket Inc.

Explanation:

Given - Last year, Rocket Inc. earned a 19 % return. Farmer's Corp. earned 12 %. The overall market return last year was 16 %, and the risk-free rate was 3 %. If Rocket stock has a beta of 1.9 and Farmer's has a beta of 0.5.

To find - (a) Rocket's expected return is ... ?

               (b) Farmer's expected return is ... ?

                (c) Which stock performed better once you take risk into account ?

Solution -

The formula for Expected return is -

Expected Return = Risk-free rate + Systematic Risk ( Market Return - Risk-free rate )

a)

Now,

For Rocket Inc. -

Expected Return = 3% + 1.9 ( 16% - 3% )

                            = 3% + 1.9 (13 %)

                            =  3% + 24.7 %

                            = 27.7 %

⇒Expected Return for Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

b)

For Farmer's Corp. -

Expected Return = 3% + 0.5 ( 16% - 3% )

                            = 3% + 0.5 (13 %)

                            =  3% + 6.5 %

                            = 9.5 %

⇒Expected Return for Farmer's Corp. = 9.5 %

c)

Now,

Given that,

Actual Return of Rocket Inc. = 19 %

Expected Return of Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

⇒ Performance is better

Now,

Actual Return of Farmer's Corp.  = 12 %

Expected Return of Farmer's Corp.  = 9.5 %

⇒ Performance is worst

∴ we get

The Stock performed better once you take risk into account = Rocket Inc.

Strait Co. manufactures office furniture. During the most productive month of the year, 3,700 desks were manufactured at a total
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Highest level of activity = 3,700

Total cost at highest level of activity = $82,400

Lowest level of activity = 1,200

Total cost at lowest level of activity = $65,000

Here, we are using high-low method of cost estimation,

Variable cost per unit:

= (Total cost at highest level of activity - Total cost at lowest level of activity) ÷ (Highest level of activity - Lowest level of activity)

= ($82,400 - $65,000) ÷ (3,700 - 1,200)

= $17,400 ÷ 2,500

= $6.96

Fixed Costs:

= Total cost at highest level of activity - (Variable cost per unit × Highest level of activity)

= $82,400 - ($6.96 × 3,700)

= $82,400 - $25,752

= $56,648

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Selling price= $150

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The expected sales are 2,500 units. Production informs you that the variable costs are $50/unit. Fixed costs are $150,000.

We need to use the break-even point formula and isolate the selling price:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable costs)

2,500= 150,000 / (X - 50)

2,500X - 125,000= 150,000

2,500X= 375,000

Selling price= $150
