Answer:

Cost of Equity =11.56%

Explanation:

The cost of equity can be determined using any of the following methods:

  1. The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM)
  2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

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.  

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

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  

This CAPM is considered superior to DVM because it incorporates risk. Hence, we will use the CAPM  

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.90%, Rm-Rf- 7.10% β- 1.22

E(r) = 2.90% + 1.22×(7.10)% = 11.562  %

Cost of Equity =11.56%

A creamery shop sells its special ice cream for $4.50 a quart. It costs them $3.00 a quart to make it. The daily demand for this
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:

Given that

Selling price = SP = $4.50

Cost price = CP  = $3.00

So,

Salvage value =  V  = $1.50

Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts

The  standard deviation of daily demand  = 4 quarts

based on the above information

Overage cost = (Co) is

= CP - V

= $3.00 - $1.50

= $1.50

Now

Underage cost= (Cu)

= SP - CP

= $4.50 - $3.00

= $1.50

So,  

Service level is

= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)

= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)

= 1.50 ÷ 3.00

= 0.50

= 50%

Now

At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0

So,

Optimal stocking level is

= d + Z × standard deviation

= 35 + (0  × 4)

= 35 + 0  

= 35 quarts

She negotiated a price of $21,900 and will trade in her old car for $2,350. She will put another $850 with it and borrow the rem
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The monthly payment will be $434

Explanation:

Price of New car = $21,900

Price of old car exchanged = $2,350

Cash Payment = $850

Amount of Loan = $21,900 - $2,350 - $850

Amount of Loan = A = $18,700

Rate of interest = r = 6% = 0.06 = 0.005 per month

Number of total periods = 12 x 4 = 48

P = $18500 / { [ ( 1 + 0.005 )^48 ] - 1 } / [ 0.005 ( 1 + 0.005)^48 ]

P = $18500 / [ 0.2704891611 / 0.006352446 ]

P = $18500 / 42.58

P = $434.47
