Answer:

(a) $9,000 per employee

(b) $252,000; $198,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe benefits cost during 2018 = $450,000

Employees assigned to division A = 28

Employees assigned to division B = 22

(a) Allocation rate:

= Total cost to be allocated ÷ Cost driver

= $450,000 ÷ 50

= $9,000 per employee

(b) Cost assigned to A:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 28

= $252,000

Cost assigned to B:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 22

= $198,000

The comparable property value with compound interest

The formula for calculating future compound values

FV = PV × (1+r)n

In this case:

PV = 98,500

r =0.3% the interest rate per month

n = 10 compound periods

FV = 98,500 x (1+ 0.3/100)10

=98,500 x (1.003)10

=98,500 x 1.030408

=$101,495.20

We have the following CAPM E(Ri) = .06 + .08 Beta; a) If Stock X has a beta of 2, what is the required rate of return? b) If we
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Please kindly go through explanation for the answers.

Explanation:

A)The required return if Beta is 2 = 0.06+0.08*2 =0.22

B)Here Rf = 0.06

Expected return of the portfolio = 0.4*22% + 0.6*6% =12.4%

since beta of Rf = 0,the expected beta = 0.4*2 = 0.8

C)Beta is nothing but systematic risk of a security in comparing to the market. In this case stock z having beta of 1.5 which is less than beta of stockX i.e 2. and expected return is 15%.so stockz is offering lower return at lower risk. If the investor is a risk averse its a good buy.

D) let W be portion of stock X.

Then w*2 + (1-w)*0 = 1.5

W = 1.5/2 =0.75

to construct a portfolio which has a beta of 1.5 we have to invest 75% of our money in stock X and remaining in risk free asset

E) expected return = 0.22*.75 +0.25*0.06 = 16.5% + 1.5% = 18%

The computation of the warranty expense is shown below:

= Number of selling units × average unit sold per unit

= 2,000 unit × $15 per unit

= $30,000

The whole amount $30,000 should be recorded as warranty expense

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Correct option is B.

<u>Asset A</u>

Explanation:

Reward to variability ratio = return/σ

Asset A,σ = 15/0.4 = 37.5

Asset B,σ = 20/0.3 = 66.67

Since deviation(volatility) is lesser for asset A,a risk investor would prefer asset A.
