Answer:
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
The Capital assets pricing model would be used to determined the required rate of return
<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c </em>
Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) - required return
β- Beta
Rm- Return on market
Rf- Risk-free rate
DATA
E(r) =? , Rf- 3%, Rm-14% , β- 1.1, flotation cost - 4%
E(r) = 3% + 1.1× (14% - 3%) = 15.1
%
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
= 15.1
% + 4% = 19.1
%
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
Answer: C. . increase the quantity supplied of X and decrease the quantity demanded of X.
Explanation:
If the demand and supply curves for product X are stable, a goverment mandated increase in the price of X will result into the increase the quantity supplied of X and decrease the quantity demanded of X.
This is because when there is a rise in price, the suppliers will be willing to supply more while the consumers will demand less of the product.
Answer:
11.14%
Explanation:
Blume's formula is used to combine both arithmetic and geometric returns. This is because using arithmetic growth rate exclusively would be overly optimistic for longer time horizons and on the other hand, using geometric growth rates exclusively would be overly pessimistic for short time horizons.
Using the attached formula, plug in the given numbers;
R(T) would be the sale growth rate we need to calculate.
R(T) = 
R(T) =0.0257 + 0.0857
R(T) = 0.1114 as a decimal
Therefore, the forecast sales growth would be 11.14%
Hey there,
Getting the first job would probably be the hardest. So the answer is C.
