Answer:
a. 14.75%
b. Under priced
Explanation:
The computation for the required rate of return is shown below:
a. Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 6% + 1.25 × (13% - 6%)
= 6% + 1.25 × 7%
= 6% + 8.75%
= 14.75%
b. As the required rate of return comes 14.75% and the required return is 16% so it is under priced as expected return is more than the required return
Answer:
$300
Explanation:
When insurance is paid in advance, the entries required are
Debit Prepaid Insurance
Credit Cash account
As time elapses and the insurance expires,
Debit Insurance expense
Credit Prepaid Insurance
Amount of insurance expense as at 31 December (6 months between 1 July and 31 December)

= $300
The insurance expense on the annual income statement for the first year ended December 31 is $300.
Answer:
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161
Explanation:
Given:
Bed debts increase = $6,800
Depericiation increase = $40,900
Tax-exempt life insurance = $3,450
Computation:
Assume tax rate = 21%
Taxable difference = 40,900 - 6,800
Taxable difference = 34,100
Deferred income tax expense = 34,100 × 21%
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $432,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Predetermined overhead rate of $8.00 per machine-hour
Actual machine-hours worked= 54,000 hours
<u>To calculate the allocated overhead, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 8*54,000
Allocated MOH= $432,000
Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
