Answer:

4.26%

The computation of the Laurel's effective​ (after-tax) cost of​ debt is shown below:

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Quarterly dividend (D) = $0.75

Annual return (Ke) = 10.5% = 0.105

Quarterly return = 0.105/4 = 0.02625

Current market price = <u>Quarterly dividend</u>

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Malcolm is a professional writer. He has already published many best-sellers. One of his friends expressed interest in knowing more about his writing process, so Malcolm showed his friend a few of his first drafts. The friend observed that the drafts were nothing like the final book, and the writing seemed amateurish compared to Malcolm's published work. When asked about it, Malcolm said that it was the normal way of things. In this scenario, the following is the reason of this:

A) ​Malcolm would have revised his work many times before he was satisfied with it.

Explanation:

  • The option A is best reason because generally a writer doesn't break his or her flow while writing and that is what Malcolm would have done. After, he would have revised his work many times until he was satisfied.
  • The option B is not correct as it is not possible to change the book of a writer entirely by the publishing company.
  • The option C is also incorrect as the drafts were not long and cohesive because his friend found the draft amateurish but not perfect.
  • The option D is incorrect as it is not true that writers only create first draft and other people produce all other subsequent drafts.

if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder poin
Ronch [10]

please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both

Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units

when safety stock =100,  Reorder point= 700 units

Explanation:

Reorder Point (ROP), also called  reorder level, is the point  of inventoryset by a busness  in which it replenishes its stock of items.

given:

Average demand= 200

lead time = 3

when safety stock =1

Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

                = (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units

when safety stock = 100

   Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

                = (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units

Emily's trust fund has a value of 100,000 on January 1, 1997. On April 1, 1997, 10,000 is withdrawn from the fund, and immediate
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

(a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

(b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.

Explanation:

For (a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

<em>Calculations:</em> 115000 = ((-10000) *(1 + r) ^ ((365-90)/365)) + 100000*(1+r)

So, using calculator we found r= 0.27  

Here we’ve equated the value of portfolio at Jan 1, 1998 with Value of portfolio on Jan 1, 1997 and using the formula for money weighted average rate of return we’ve found the rate of return. Since, we are taking annual money weighted average rate of return, so we don’t include the value of July cash flow, i.e. $5000.

For (b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15  

Since, the distribution of deposits and withdrawals is uniform, so it is simply the newer value minus original value divided by the original value and is most likely to percentage calculation.

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.
