Answer: A. $250 million
Explanation:
The firm is a Monopoly and is lobbying Congress to remain that way. As a monopoly it makes $10 million a year and wants to remain a monopoly for the next 25 years.
Assuming there is no discount rate which means that the value of money stays the same over the 25 years, if they succeed in Congress, they have a chance to make a total profit of,
= 10 million * 25 years
= $250 million
If the maximum amount the firm can make if the lobbying is successful is $250 million, this is the maximum they will pay to lobby for a deterrence to entry. If they pay any amount more than $250 million, they will be making a loss and therefore it would make no sense to spend that amount of the lobbying.

Answer:
Explanation:
The cost of equity can be estimated using two (2) different models:
- <em>The Dividend Valuation Model</em>
- <em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM)</em>
<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return. </em>
The model is stated below as follows
P = D(1+g)/ke-g)
<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>
<em>This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM</em>
Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.86%, Rm-Rf - 7.00 β- 1.23
E(r) = 2.86% + 1.23× 7%
= 2.86% + 8.61%
= 11.47
%
Cost of equity= 11.47
