Answer:
C. because it does not produce enough oil.
Explanation:
Although, the United States is one of the leading producers of oil, yet still import oil because it does not produce enough oil to meet the demand of its citizens. In other words, the United States consumes more than what she can produce.
Another reason is that most refineries in the United State are created basically for heavy crude whereas most of what she produce are light crude oil. The United States import the oil she is able to process while she export to other countries to complete the setup process.
The remedy to the above situation is when new refineries are built which are somewhat expensive or the existing refineries are upgraded to meet with the demand.

Free cash flow for year 1 = -$1m
Explanation:
Lets first understand what free cash flow is. Free cash flow is the cash generated by a business that is freely available for distribution to all investors after having met all the immediate obligations, investment in non-current assets and investment in working capital. Since it's cash flows we have to add back non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization.
The question is asking for free cash flow for year 1 therefore we take data for the year 1 as follows:
Free cash flow for year 1 = $5m + $2m - $6m - $2m
Free cash flow for year 1 = -$1m
Seems entity has net cash outflows that's why the cash flows are negative.
Answer:
a. What is the value today of Steinberg's debt and equity?
b. What is the value today of Dietrich's debt and equity?
c. Steinberg’s CEO recently stated that Steinberg’s value should be higher than Dietrich’s because the company has less debt and therefore less bankruptcy risk. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
- A. Disagree: a company's value is determined by by its operating income (EBIT), not by there capital structure (M&M theory).
Explanation:
economic expansion 80% chance, EBIT $3.5 million
economic recession 20% chance, EBIT $1.9 million
expected EBIT = (3.5 x 0.8) + (1.9 x 0.2) = $2.8 million + $0.38 million = $3.18 million
Steinberg's debt obligations $980,000 at the end of next year
Dietrich's debt obligations $2,000,000 at the end of next year
total company value = $3.18 million / (1 + 10%) = $2,890,909
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
11.1% = 5.55% + 0.86 × (Market rate of return - 5.55%)
So, the market rate of return is
= (11.1% - 5.55%) ÷ 0.86 + 5.55%
= 12%
Also , The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium
