Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Suppose the current unemployment rate is 5%, the labor force is 400 million people, the labor force participation rate is 80% and the working-age population is 500 million people.

The unemployment rate is the number of people of working age, disposed to work and looking for a job.

Labor force rate= unemployed people/ labor force

Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $5, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 4%

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. 10.04%

b. $82.78

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

a. Expected rate of return or market capitalization = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 5% + 0.72 × (12% - 5%)

= 5% + 0.72 × 7%

= 5% + 5.04%

= 10.04%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

b. Now the intrinsic value would be

= Expected dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= $5 ÷ (10.04% - 4%)

= $5 ÷ 6.04%

= $82.78

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $600 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard rate per direct labor-hour $2

Standard direct labor-hours for each unit produced 3

Units manufactured 1,000

Actual direct labor-hours worked during the month 3,300

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,000*3 - 3,300)*2

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $600 unfavorable
