Answer:

10.412%

Explanation:

The computation of the average cost of equity of the firm is shown below;

The Cost of equity as per CAPM is

= risk free rate + beta × (market rate - risk free rate)

= 4.2 + 1.34 × (12.8 - 4.2)

= 15.724%

Now the Cost of equity as per growth model is

= (D1 ÷ Current price) +Growth rate

= [0.45 ÷ 15] + 0.021

= 5.1%

Now the Average Cost of equity is

= (15.724 + 5.1) ÷ 2 2

= 10.412%

True [87]

Answer: There was no gain or loss on the sale of this asset.

Explanation: In order to calculate how much profit/loss was made on an asset when it is sold, you have to take the cost price of the asset, and deduct the accumulated depreciation of the asset up to the date of sale. This is known as the book value of the asset, and shows how much it was worth on the day it was sold.

Cost price is the purchase price that the asset was worth on the day it was bought by Strike Company. Accumulated depreciation is the total reduction of the worth of an asset periodically, because of wear and tear.

Book value is calculated as:

Cost price: $244,400

- Accumulated depreciation: ($219,960)

= Book Value = $24,440

However the asset was sold for $24,440. This means that Strike Company sold this asset at its pure value, which is the book value. Thus forfeiting the chance to make a profit, or a loss.

d) variability

Variability is the quality of a service that does not follow a fixed, or predictable pattern, following instead a changing (or variable), or unpredictable pattern.

Seasonality is a type of variability that occurs when a business is subject to very rigid time constraints: in some periods of time it booms, and in other periods, it busts.

Alex's business is seasonal because it only becomes profitable during the summer months, while the other three seasons represent a net loss for him.

where,

Percentage change in quantity demanded is

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded)

And,

The percentage change in price is
