Suppose the beta of Microsoft is 1.13, the risk-free rate is 3 percent, and the market risk premium is 8 percent. Use CAPM to calculate the expected return for Microsoft. Group of answer choices 12.04% 15.66% 13.94% 8.65%

Answer:the Expected return for Microsoft = 12.04%

Explanation:

According to Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM, we have that  

Expected return= risk free rate+(betaXmarket risk premium)

= 3 + ( 8 x 1.13)

=3+9.04

 =12.04%

Therefore the Expected return for Microsoft = 12.04%

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $464,149 over a four-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3.2 million. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Required:1. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.2. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?3. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021?(For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.

Assume that you are part of the accounting team for Logan Digital. The company currently expects to sell 362 units for total revenue of $16,300 each month. Logan Digital estimates direct materials costs of $3,150, direct labor costs of $4,200, variable overhead costs of $2,100, and variable selling and administrative costs of $1,050. Fixed costs of $4,800 are also expected, which includes fixed overhead and selling and administrative costs. Using this information, complete the contribution margin income statement shown below.
Logan Digital is examining cost behavior patterns. Your recommendation is to first determine the break-even point in units. First, calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit (rounded to the nearest dollar).
Next, complete the formula below to determine the break-even units.
Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit = Units
A profit-volume graph helps managers to visualize the relationship between profits and units sold. The data for Logan Digital has been used to construct the profit-volume graph below. The purple points (diamond symbols) plot the profit line. The operating loss is the shaded area bordered by the red points (cross symbols). The operating profit is the area bounded by the green points (triangle symbols). Graph the correct profit-value graph.
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Effect of Changes to Sales Price, Variable Costs and Fixed Costs
Now consider each of the following scenarios for Logan Digital. Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately.
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Logan will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Logan has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Logan has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.

True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.

Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?

a. internal development
b. licensing
c. contracted development
d. franchising
e. research partnership
