Long-term debt outstanding: $300,000 Current yield to maturity (rdebt): 8% Number of shares of common stock: 10,000 Price per sh

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Cost of capital=11.18%

Explanation:

First We will calculate the Equity of firm:

Equity= Number of share* Book value per share

Equity= 10,000* $25

Equity= $250,000

Long-term debt=$300,000

Expected rate of return=15%=0.15

Current yield to maturity (rdebt)=8%=0.08.

Value of firm=Equity+Long-term debt

Value of firm= $250,000+$300,000

Value of firm= $550,000

Formula:

$Cost\ of \ Capital=\frac{Equity}{Value\ of\ firm}* Rate\ of\ return+\frac{Debit}{Value\ of\ firm}* yield\ to\ maturity$

$Cost\ of\ Capital=\frac{\$250,000}{\$550,000}*0.15+\frac{\$300,000}{\$550,000}*0.08\\ Cost\ of\ Capital=0.1118$

Cost of capital=11.18%

Maria is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems

sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

i. The marginal, or additional, gain from Maria’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is <u> 40 </u> problems.

ii. The marginal gain from Maria’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is <u> 20 </u> problems

iii. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading (c)

Explanation:

i. The marginal gain from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is calculated thus:

work done at 8:00 AM = 0 problems

Work done at 9:00 AM = 40 problems

Marginal gain = (Work done at 9:00 AM) - (work done at 8:00) = 40 - 0 = 40 problems

ii. work done at 10:00 AM = 70 problems

work done at 11:00 AM = 90 problems

Marginal gain = 90 - 70 = 20 problems

iii. To get the best exam score, the most number of problems possible in total must be answered within the 4-hour period, and this is determined as follows:

we are told that Maria gets tired as time progresses and the number of questions answered reduces we notice the following numbers of questions answered in each hour:

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM = 40 - 0 = 40 problems (hour 1)

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM = 70 - 40 = 30 problems (hour 2)

10:00 AM to 11:00 AM = 90 - 70 = 20 problems (hour 3)

11:00 AM to Noon = 100 - 90 = 10 problems (hour 4)

Also, we are told that;

1 hour of reading = 25 problems

Comparing the reading and solving problems, we see that the number of problems solved in hour-1 and hour-2 (40 and 30 respectively) are more than the equivalent number of problems solved in reading for 1 hour, while hour-3 and hour-4 (20 and 10 respectively), have lesser equivalent number of problems each, than reading for one hour. Therefore to make the most out of the 4 hours, Maria will spend the first 2 hours solving problems and the next two hours reading, giving a total of: 40 + 30 + 25 + 25 = 120 problems solved.

Melissa owns the following portfolio of stocks. What is the return on her portfolio? Stock Amount Invested Return A $8.000 17.5%

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The option c is a right answer.

Explanation:

For calculating the return on her portfolio, the steps is to be followed which is shown below:

Step 1: First compute the weight-age of each portfolio.

Step 2: Multiply the weight-age amount to invested return.

Step 3: After multiply the amounts, the expected return comes.

Mathematically,

Step 1: Weight-age is to be computed by

= Each Portfolio amount ÷ total stock amount

where total stock amount = $8,000 + $4,000 +$12,000

=$24,000

For A = $8,000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.3333

For B = $4000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.1666

For C = $12000 ÷ $24,000 = 0.50

Step 2:

Expected Return for A = Weight-age × invested return

= 0.3333 × 17.5%

= 5.83%

Expected Return for B = Weight-age × invested return

= 0.1666 × 11.0%

= 1.83%

Expected Return for C = Weight-age × invested return

= 0.50 × 4.30%

= 2.15%

So, the total return on her portfolio is a sum of Expected Return for A + Expected Return for B +Expected Return for C

= 5.83% + 1.83% + 2.15%

= 9.81 %

Hence, the return on her portfolio is 9.81% .

Therefore, the option c is a right answer

Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Caro

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.

Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.

With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.
