Answer:

The 500-acre area is scarce because it has alternative uses: preservation in its natural state or a site for homes. A choice must be made between these uses. The opportunity cost of preserving the land in its natural state is the forgone value of the land as a housing development. The opportunity cost of using the land as a housing development is the forgone value of preserving the land.

sveta [45]

Answer:

b. $14,660,000

Explanation:

The computation of retained earnings at the end of the year is shown below:-

Retained earnings = Beginning retained earning + Net income - Stock dividend - Cash dividend

= $11,000,000 + $5,000,000 + $500,000 - $840,000

= $14,660,000

Working Note :-

Stock Dividend = 400,000 × 5% × $25

= $500,000

Cash dividend = (400,000 + (400,000 × 5%) × $2

= 420,000 × $2

= $840,000

koban [17]

Answer:

a. 9.98%

Explanation:

The computation of required rate of return is shown below:-

Required return= Risk - Free rate + Beta × (Market rate- Risk-free rate)

11.75% = 2.30% + 1.23 × (Market rate - 2.3%)

(11.75% - 2.30%) ÷ 1.23 = Market rate - 2.3%

Market rate = (11.75% - 2.30%) ÷ 1.23 + 2.3%

=9.98%

Therefore for computing the required rate of return on the market we simply applied the above formula.
