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>

finlep [7]

Answer: They are both right.

Explanation:

Firms in every market will always maximise profit where their Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized. This is therefore no different in a Perfectly competitive market so Skip is correct.

Peggy is also correct however because in a Perfectly Competitive market, the demand curve is perfectly elastic. This creates a situation where the Price, Marginal Revenue and Average Revenue are all the same and represent the demand curve as well.

With the Price being the same as the Marginal Revenue in a Perfectly competitive firm, that means that where the Price equals Marginal Cost is where the Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost as well so indeed perfectly competitive firms maximize profit where price equals marginal cost.

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $171.89 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>

Total direct labor hours= (500*0.4) + (1,000*0.2)= 400 direct labor hours

Arisa [49]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation for each corrected common-size percent for each account is shown below:

Particulars             Amount                  Percentage

Total assets           $700,000                    100%

Accounts payable $75,000                      10.71%

                                                       ($75,000 ÷ $700,000)

Bonds payable      $225,000             32.14%

                                                       ($225,000 ÷ $700,000)

Common stock      $300,000            42.86%

                                                         ($300,000 ÷ $700,000)

Retained earnings $100,000             14.29%

                                                  ($100,000 ÷  $700,000)

Therefore each one of assetm liabilities and stockholder equity is presented as a percentage of total assets and the same is to be considered
