Answer:

(1+0.103) =(1+0.057)(1+ Inflation rate)

1.103 =1.057 * (1+ Inflation rate)

1.103/1.057 = 1+ Inflation rate

1.0435 = 1+ inflation rate

Inflation rate = 0.0435 i.e. 4.35%

svp [43]

Answer:

$135 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of total variance is shown below:-

For computing the total variance first we need to find out the actual price which is below:-

Actual price = Total cost ÷ Actual quantity

= $18,135 ÷ 3,100

= $5.85 pound

Now,

Total variance = Standard quantity × Standard price - Actual quantity × Actual price

= (($2,000 × 1.5) × $6) - 3,100 × $5.85

= 3,000 × $6 - 3,100 × $5.85

= $18,000 - $18135

= $135 Unfavorable.

Degregorio Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following direct material standards: Standard quantity 2.5
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)

Explanation:

Standard quantity(SQ) = $2.5 * 6600 = 16500 Kg

Standard Price( SP) = $5  

Actual quantity(AQ) = 16,850 Kg  

Actual Price( AP) = $90,720 / 18,900 kg = $4.8

Materials quantity variance = SP * (SQ - AQ)  

Materials quantity variance = 5 * ( 16500 - 16,850 )

Materials quantity variance = 5 * (350)

Materials quantity variance = $1,750(U)

"Stock R has a beta of 1.5, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate o
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S  (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%
