Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of equity in case of no taxes is shown below:

Cost of equity without tax  = Cost of equity + (cost of equity - cost of debt) × debt equity ratio

where,

Cost of equity = 12%

Cost fo debt = 9%

And, the debt equity ratio = 1

Now placing these values to the above formula,

So, the cost of equity without considering the tax is

= 0.12 + (0.12 - 0.09) × 1

= 0.12 + 0.03 × 1

= 0.12 + 0.03

= 0.15

= 15%

Flauer [41]

Answer:

b. False

The four competitive strategies specified by Michael Porter are namely, Cost Leadership, Differentiation, Cost Focus and Differentiation focus.

Under Cost leadership, a firm strives to offer it's products at the lowest cost and be the cost leader in an industry.

Differentiation refers to adding unique attributes and values to the products which differentiates such products from those of the competitors.

Cost focus refers to cost leadership when targeted at a particular marketing segment and similarly, differentiation focus is differentiation when applied to a specific marketing segment.

A firm cannot focus at price at the expense of quality of it's offerings. Thus, keeping prices down isn't all which matters.
