<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
<u>Given data:</u>
the market price of share = $80, the par value of share = $75, floatation cost = $3.5, corporate tax = 21 %
The Annual dividend = 75 multiply with 16 percent = $12
Hence, the cost of preferred stock = Annual dividend divide by (Current price-Flotation cost)
= 12 / (80-3.5)
after solving, we get, which is equal to
= 15.69% (Approx) (rounded off to 2 decimal places)
NOTE: The Tax rate would not affect the cost of preferred stock financing.
Answer:
a. Expected return = 4%
Standard deviation = 22%
b. 0%
Explanation:
a. As the return is equally likely, the expected return which is a weighted average will be:
= (0.5 * -18%) + ( 0.5 * 26%)
= 4%
Standard deviation = √Variance
Variance = (0.5 * (-18% - 4%)²) + (0.5 * (26% - 4%)²)
= 242 + 242
= 484%
Standard deviation = √484
= 22%
b. Treasury bills have no market risk attached and the stock has an expected return that is the same as the Treasury bill yield which means that the stock therefore has no market risk.
Answer:
D - deduction from the balance per the company's records.
Explanation:
In the company's books, the payment was erroneously recorded as $695, thus understating the amount that was paid. But if the check was cleared at the bank, the bank statement will show a deduction of $965, which is the correct figure.
Therefore the balance as as per the company's records should be reduced by $270, ie $965 - $695.
Answer: $20,478.78
Explanation:
In 14 years the investment will be,
Gold
10,000/2 = 5000
Then use the compound interest formula
5000 * (1+0.07)^ 14 = $12,892.67
For Certificates of Deposits.
Use the Compound interest formula
Rate and period are in years. Convert to semi annual basis.
3%/ 2 = 1.5%
14 * 2 = 28 periods
= 5000 ( 1+ 0.015) ^ 28
= $7,586.11
Add both
=$12,892.67 + $7,586.11
= $20,478.78
