Answer:

Re = 10%

Explanation:

using the CAPM formula, the cost of equity is:

Re = risk free + (beta x market premium)

  • risk free = 4%
  • market premium = market return - risk free = 12% - 4% = 8%
  • beta = 0.75

Re = 4% + ((0.75 x 8%) = 10%

Since the beta is lower than 1, this stock is less volatile than the market, that is why the required rate of return is lower than the market return.

The government uses taxes and subsidies to guide consumption and production decisions.
aleksandrvk [35]

adoni [48]

Answer:

$84 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the activity variance for supplies cost is shown below:

Supplies cost for the standard one is

= $1,840 + (624 frames × $12 per frame)

= $9,328

And, the supplies cost for the actual one is

= $1,840 + (631 frames × $12)

= $9,412

So the activity variance is

= $9,328 - $9,412

= $84 unfavorable

As the standard cost is less than the actual one
