The cost of equity is a term used in finance to describe the return (usually expressed as a rate of return) that a firm theoretically offers to its equity investors, or shareholders, in order to make up for the risk they assume by investing their money. A firm needs cash from various sources in order to operate and grow. Those individuals and organizations who are willing to offer money to others naturally desire payment. Just as landlords want rent for their homes, capital providers seek returns on their investments that must be proportional to the level of risk involved.

Given :

Risk free rate = 4.5%

Beta = 1.75

Equity risk premium= 4.25%

To find :

Cost of equity

Solution :

Cost of equity is given by,

=Risk-Free Rate of Return + Beta × (Equity risk premium)

=4.5+7.4375

=11.9375%

Why does the free-market system require government regulation? Companies can't be efficient or innovative on their own. Foreign
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer are the option B and C: Foreign competition would wipe out domestic production and producers are driven by the profit motive to work against competition.

Explanation:

First of all, the huge companies, and that includes the foreign competition, will always wipe out the small ones and that situation will definitely impact in the domestic economy of a country by leaving without work to the other enterprises and their employees, also by increasing prices and obligating to the customers to buy them due to their power in the industry and more. That is why, government regulation is obviously needed in the free-market system because if there is not, then the leader organization will do as they please with the market.

Secondly, the companies are lucrative organization and therefore that the most important thing that they care about is to make money by producing goods or giving services to the community that need it. That is why, if there is not government then the most powerful companies would try to eliminate the small ones by taking all their consumers away.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

24 million shares  ; $16 million

Explanation:

The computation of the weightage number of treasury shares are shown below:

             Number of shares       Price       Total

                   2                              $22         $44 million

                   1                               $28         $28 million

Total           3                                               $72 million

So, the weighted average number of shares would be

= $72 ÷ 3 = 24 million shares

Now the journal entry would be

Cash A/c Dr $64 million                  (2 million treasury shares × $32)

          To Paid in capital - share repurchase A/c $16 million

          To Treasury stock $48 million    (24 million treasury shares × $2)

(Being the treasury shares are sold)
