Answer:
20.1%
Explanation:
In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:
<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>
Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>
Putting all the number together, we have:
Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%
<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>
Answer:
The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.
Explanation:
In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.
Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.
The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n
Where PV=present value
FV=future value
r=rate of interest
n=number of year

Answer:
SITE A
Explanation:
Given :
FACTOR___ WEIGHT _SITE A_ SITE B _SITE C
Labor Cost __ 0.25 _____92 ____82____ 84
Curr Stability _ 0.35 _____75 ___ 85____ 88
Prox Market __ 0.30 ____ 80 ____50 ___ 60
Taxes _______ 0.10 _____69 ___ 88 ___ 91
SITE A:
(0.25 * 92) + (0.35*75) + (0.30*80) + (0.10*69) = 80.15
SITE B :
(0.25 * 82) + (0.35*85) + (0.30*50) + (0.10*88) = 74.05
SITE C :
(0.25 * 84) + (0.35*88) + (0.30*60) + (0.10*91) = 78.90
Using the weighed factor model;
The based site for locating the facility is SITE A as it has the highest weighted value
Answer:
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Number of year = 7
Pre-tax net returns (Fn) = $100
Growth rate = 4% = 0.04
Inflation = 3% = 0.03
Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.3
Discount rate = 10% = 0.1
Computation:
Fn = Fo(1+g)ⁿ = 100(1.04)⁷
Fn = 131.6
Nominal net returns = 131.6(1.03)⁷
Nominal net returns = 161.85
After tax return = 161.85 (1 - 0.3)
After tax return = 113.30
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1(1-0.3) = 7%
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 113.30
(1+0.07)⁻⁷
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)
Answer:
If an economy grows at 7% per year, it will take 70 / 7 = 10 years for the size of that economy to double, and so on.
