Answer: Stock B

Explanation:

Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.

Stock A

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)

= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)

= 9.8%

Stock B

Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)

= 12.2%

Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.

The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.

Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%

Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%

<em>Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy. </em>

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Assets increase by $10,000

Total stockholders' equity increases by $10,000

Explanation:

Since in the question, it is given that, the purchase value of equipment is $100,000 and the exchanged value is $110,000

So, the difference of $10,000 ($110,000 - $100,000) would reflect that the assets would increase by $10,000 and the total stockholders' equity is also increased by $10,000

The exchange value is a combination of $70,000 in trade allowance and $40,000 was paid in cash

Explanation:

a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost   / Estimated total units in the allocation based

Predetermined overhead rate = 600,000 / 500,000 = 1.2 perunit

b) Total fixed cost spending variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Estimated overhead cost

                                                         = 599,400 - 600,000

                                                         = 600 (F) Favourable

c) Total fixed cost volume variance = Actual fixed overheads - Estimated fixed overheads

  Actual fixed overheads = Estimated fixed overhead rate * Actual units produced

                                        = 1.2 * 508,000 = $609,600

Total fixed cost volume variance =$ 609,600 - $600,000 = $9600 (F) Favourable
