Answer:
The answer is option (C). The firm's required rate of return=11.95%
Explanation:
The required rate of return can be expressed using the formula below;
RRR=RFR+B(MRR)
where;
RRR=required rate of return
RFR=risk free return
B=beta
MRR=market rate of return
In our case;
RRR=unknown
RFR=4.25%
B=1.4
MRR=5.5%
This can be written as;
Required rate of return=risk free return+(beta×market rate of return)
replacing;
RRR=4.25%+(1.4×5.5)
RRR=(4.25%+7.7)=11.95%
The firm's required rate of return=11.95%
Answer:
d. Applying a blanket gross profit rate to merchandise that have wide varying rates of gross profit
Explanation:
To know what problem could arise fro mthis method, we must understand the method:
ending inventory = cost available for sales - sales x (1- gross profit)
being cost available for sales = beginning invnetory + purchases
a) if a portion of inventory is destroyed, then we subtract it from the cost available for sales and we should be okay.
b) the amount of purchase is being considered so it will not produce a distorsion
c) then beginning invnetory equals to zero in the formula of cost availalbe and we are also okay
d) here is the problem, if there is a wide array of gross profit we could do an average but it will lead to distorsion if the sales are not in the expected weight.

To approximate the size of USA in relation to Ethiopia we proceed as follows:
Size of Ethiopia GDP in 2017=$ 76.9x10^9
Size of USA GDP=19.6x10^12
thus the scale factor of USA to Ethiopia will be:
19.6x10^12/76.9x10^9
=254.9
this can be written as a whole number to be
255
the economy of US is 255 times that of Ethipia
