Answer:

$23.44

Explanation:

Nominal wages is $25 per hour

Decrease in the price of gasoline = ($4.00 - $1.50)/4.00

Decrease in the price of gasoline = 0.625

Decrease in the price of gasoline = 6.25%

Real wages = $25 - (6.25 % of $25)

Real wages = $25 - (6.25/100 * 25)

Real wages = $25 - $1.5625

Real wages = $23.4375

Real wages = $23.44

Thus, your real wage (in terms of gasoline) is $23.44

Aluminum maker Alcoa has a beta of about 1.85​, whereas Hormel Foods has a beta of 0.39. If the expected excess return of the ma
Nady [450]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

And, the market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return is also known as the market risk premium

As we can see that the Alcoa contains high beta as compared to Hormel Foods so the Alcoa has a higher equity cost of capital

And, the higher rate is

= (Excess return of the market) × (Alcoa beta - Hormel foods beta)

= (3%) × (1.85 - 0.39)

= 3% × 1.46

= 4.38%

denis23 [38]

Answer:

29,771 units

Explanation:

The break-even indicates the number of units that you have to sell to cover your costs. The break-even point is calculated by using the formula:

Break-even point in units= Fixed costs/(selling price per unit-variable cost per unit)

Break-even point in units= $195,000/($14.95-$8.40)

Break-even point in units= $195,000/$6.55

Break-even point in units= 29,771 units

The break-even point in units is 29,771.
