Answer:

The correct answer is A. A leader who is task-oriented and directs subordinates' work .

Explanation:

The starting structure: Refers to the measure by which the leader can define and structure his role and those of his subordinates, in the pursuit of goal achievement. It includes behavior that tries to organize work, work relationships, and goals.

Extensive research, based on these definitions, shows that leaders with high rates of starting structure and consideration (a "high - high" leader) tend to achieve high performance and subordinate satisfaction, more often than those who rate low either in consideration, starting structure or in both dimensions. It does not always result in positive consequences to high rates of truancy and turnover, as well as low levels of job satisfaction for workers performing routine tasks. In conclusion, the Ohio State studies emerged that "high - high style" generally produced positive results.

Cotton On Ltd. currently has the following capital structure: Debt: $3,500,000 par value of outstanding bond that pays annually

jeka57 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Kindly find the incomplete question here

Ordinary shares: $5,500,000 book value of outstanding ordinary shares. Nominal value of each share is $100. The firm plan just paid a $8.50 dividend per share. The firm is maintaining 4% annual growth rate in dividends, which is expected to continue indefinitely.

Preferred shares: 45,000 outstanding preferred shares with face value of $100, paying fixed dividend rate of 12%

The firm's marginal tax rate is 30%.

Required:

a) Calculate the current price of the corporate bond?

b)Calculate the current price of the ordinary share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 9%?

c) Calculate the current price of the preferred share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 10%

The computation is shown below:

a. For the current price of the corporate bond

Before that first we have to determine the after tax yield to maturity i.e

After tax YTM = Before tax YTM × (1 - tax rate)

= 12% × ( 1 - 30%)

= 12% × (1 - 0.3)

= 12% × (0.7)

= 8.4%

Now

Price of bond = Interest × PVIFA(YTM%,n) + Redemption value × PVIF(YTM%,n)

Interest = 1000 × 10% = $100

YTM% = 8.4%

n = 20

PVIFA(YTM%,n) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r)^n ÷ r ]

PVIFA(8.4%,20) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20 ÷ 8.4%]

= [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 0.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]

= [1-(1 ÷ (1.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]

= [1 - 0.1993 ÷ 0.084]

= 0.8007 ÷ 0.084

= 9.5327

PVIF(8.4%,20) = 1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20

= 1 ÷ (1.084)^20

= 0.19926

So, the price of bond is

= $100 × 9.5327 + $1000 × 0.19926

= $953.27 + $199.26

= $1,152.52

b)Price of stock = Dividend of next year ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate )

where,

Growth rate = 4%

Required rate of return = 9%

The Dividend of next year = Dividend paid × (1 + growth rate)

= 8.50 × (1 + 4%)

= 8.50 × (1 + 0.04)

= 8.50 × (1.04)

= $8.84

Thus the price of the stock is

= $8.84 ÷ (9% - 4%)

= $8.84 ÷ 5%

= $176.80

c) Price of preference shares is

= Dividend ÷ Required rate of return

where,

Dividend = 100 × 12% = $12

And, the Required rate of return = 10%

So, the price of preference shares is

= 12 ÷ 10%

= $120
