Answer:

the risk premium = return of the deposit - risk free deposit return

risk premium = 5.2% - 2.5% = 2.7% or $27 for a $1,000 CD

Besides the investment risk, Casey must also consider the inflation rate and taxes. The inflation rate lowers the real interest earned by Casey: real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate. And she must also find out how the return from the non-financial institution is taxed, if it can be taxed as capital gains or regular income.

Sale revenue = $100 × 8,400 = $840,000

Less :Variable cost

Variable cost of goods sold = 8,400 × $75 = $630,000

Variable selling and administrative = 8,400 × $7 = $58,800

Contribution margin = $151,200

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $132,000

Using this formula

Variable cost per mile = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity - Lowest activity)

Let plug in the

Variable cost per mile= (14,721 - 13,503)/(8,510 - 7,495)

Variable cost per mile= 1,218/1,015

Variable cost per mile=$1.2 per mile

When the price of a bar of chocolate is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 100,000 bars. When the price rises to $1.50, the quantit
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a. -1.25

b. -1.25

Explanation:

Price elasticity is used to measure the change in demand as a result of a change in price.

Formula is;

= % change in Quantity/ % change in Price

a. Suppose the price increases from $1.00 to $1.50. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{60,000 - 100,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= -0.5

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.5 - 1.00}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= 0.4

= -0.5/0.4

= -1.25

b. Suppose the price decreases from $1.50 to $1.00. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{100,000 - 60,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= 0.5

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.00 - 1.50}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= -0.4

= 0.5/-0.4

= -1.25

A firm must choose from six capital budgeting proposals outlined below. The firm is subject to capital rationing and has a capit
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

On IRR basis projects 1, 2, 3, and 5 will be selected.

On NPV basis projects 1, 3, 5,  and 6 will be selected.

Explanation:

The firm will accept or choose all the project that has a higher or equal internal rate of interest than cost of capital. However, in the given case project 4 has a lower internal rate of interest (12 percent) than the cost of capital. Thus, projects 1, 2, 3, and 5 will be chosen by the firm. While the firm has budget constraints so it will have no money for projects 4 and 6.

The firm will select all the projects with positive NPV when there is no budget constraint. But in case of budget constraint, the firm will select the project that has high NPV. Thus, Project 1, 6, 3, and 5 will be selected and there will be no money left for projects 2 and 4.
