Answer:

a. 1.51 containers

b. Fewer

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

a. The number of containers would be

= Annual demand × time × (1 + inefficiency factor) ÷ holding pieces

= 70 × 0.75 × (1 + 0.15) ÷ 40

= 1.51 containers

The time is converted from minutes to hour i.e 45 minutes ÷ 60 minutes = 0.75

b. If the system improves, the fewer containers are required i.e 2 containers approximate because inefficiency factor got decreased

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer will be A

Explanation:

As the social security contributions and benefits remain the same in proportion, personal and national income will remain the same.

Data for Hugh’s Corporation is provided below. Hugh’s recently acquired some risky assets that caused its beta to increase by 30
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The stock's new expected rate of return is 14%

Explanation:

Ke=Rf+beta(Mrp-Rf)

Ke is the cost of capital is 10.20%

Rf i the risk free rate which is unknown

beta is 1.00

(Mrp-Rf) is the market risk premium at 6%

10.20%=Rf+1.0(6%)

10.20%=Rf+6.0%

Rf=10.20-6.00%

Rf=4.20%

Beta for the risky asset is 1.00*130%=1.3

New risk rate is the old rate plus inflation rate of 2.00%

new risk free=4.2%+2%=6.2%

The expected return on the new asset is computed thus:

Ke=6.2%+1.3(6%)

Ke=6.2%+7.8%

Ke=14%
