Answer: a. 11.5%
Explanation:
Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.
Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)
Er = Expected return
Rf = Risk Free Rate
b = Beta
Rm = Market Return.
The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,
= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)
= 12.4%
With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
Answer:
The total value created is $70
Explanation:
In this scenario, the total value created is the total monetary benefit of a consumer and a producer with respect to the sale of a product. It therefore, is the sum of the consumer surplus and producer surplus. It is calculated as follows:
Consumer surplus = consumer's willing price - market price = 130 - 100 = $30
Producer surplus = market price - producer's willing price = 100 - 60 = $40
Therefore, total value created = 40 + 30 = $70
Answer:
Activity Rate for Setup = $18
Explanation:
Given
Activity Total Activity-Base Usage Budgeted Activity Cost
Setups 10,000 $180,000
Inspections 24,000 $120,000
Assembly (dlh) 80,000 $400,000
Activity Rate is calculated by: Budget Activity Cost/Activity Base Usage
Where Activity Base (for Setup) = 10,000
Budget Activity Cost = $180,000
So, Activity Rate for Setup = $180,000/10,000
Activity Rate for Setup = $18
Hence, the calculated activity Rate for setups is $18
Answer:
Shellhammer Company
Ending inventory = $712
Cost of goods sold = $2,492
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Item Units Unit Cost Total Cost
September 1 Inventory 100 $3.34 $334.00
September 8 Purchases 450 3.50 1,575.00
September 18 Purchases 350 3.70 1,295.00
September 30 Total 900 $3,204.00
Ending inventory 200
Cost of goods sold 700
Weighted Average cost = Total cost of goods available for sale/Total units available for sale
= $3,204/900 = $3.56
Value of Ending Inventory = $3.56 * 200 = $712
Value of Cost of goods sold = $3.56 * 700 = $2,492
b) The weighted average inventory costing, under the period inventory system, used by Shellhammer is an assumption that the costs attributable to ending inventory and cost of goods sold are determined from the average cost per unit and that these the average cost is ascertained at the end of the period. Therefore, the cost of beginning inventory and purchases are accumulated and divided by the units of goods available for sale.
