Business

vfiekz [6]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Fiat money refers to the currency which is not backed by any physical assets such as gold or silver. Its value is derived from its demand and supply rather than through the value of commodity it is backed by.  

Since the currency is not backed by gold, it will not be affected by the discovery of gold. Had it been backed by gold, the money supply would have increased.  

Purchasing treasury securities, decreasing the required reserve ratio, decreasing the discount rate will all increase the reserves with the commercial This will lead to an increase in money supply through increased lending.

Since water is an abundant commodity, linking the value of money to water will increase money supply.

c. There is a discovery of gold.

<em>Because gold is not included in monetary policy. </em>

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Monetary policy is the process of regulating a country's money supply to achieve certain goals; such as curbing inflation, reaching full or more prosperous workers. Monetary policy can involve setting loan interest standards, "margin requirements", capitalization for banks or even acting as the last business borrower or through agreement through negotiations with other governments.

<h3>Monetary policy can be classified into two, namely: </h3>

Expansive monetary policy (Monetary expansive policy)

It is a policy in order to increase the amount of money in circulation. This policy is carried out to overcome unemployment and increase people's purchasing power (public demand) when the economy experiences a recession or depression. This policy is also called easy monetary policy (easy money policy)

Monetary contractive policy

It is a policy in order to reduce the amount of money in circulation. This policy is carried out when the economy experiences inflation. Also called the tight money policy

<h3>Monetary policy can be carried out by implementing monetary policy instruments, which include: </h3>

Open Market Operations

Open market operations are a way of controlling money in circulation by selling or buying government securities. If you want to increase the money supply, the government will buy government securities.

Discount Rate

The discount facility is a regulation of the amount of money in circulation by playing the interest rate of a central bank at a commercial bank. To make the amount of money increase, the government reduces the interest rate of the central bank and conversely increases the interest rate in order to make the money in circulation decrease.

Reserve Requirement Ratio

The mandatory reserve ratio is regulating the amount of money in circulation by playing the amount of banking reserve funds that must be deposited with the government. To increase the amount of money, the government lowered the required reserve ratio. To decrease the money supply, the government raised the ratio.

Moral Appeal (Moral Persuasion)

The moral appeal is a monetary policy to regulate the money supply by appealing to economic actors. Examples such as calling on the lenders to be careful in issuing credit to reduce the money supply and to urge banks to borrow more money from the central bank to increase the money supply to the economy.

R.S. Green has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $28 a share. Next year’s annual dividend is expec
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

WACC 6.18%

Explanation:

to get the cost of capital we solve using the gordon model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

\frac{divends}{Price} = return-growth

\frac{divends}{Price} + growth = return

$Cost of Equity =\frac{D_1}{P)} +g

D1 1.55

P 28

f 0.00

g 0.02

$Cost of Equity =\frac{1.55}{28} +0.02

Ke 0.075357143

Then for the cost of debt, we need to calculate the YTM of the bonds:

which is the rate at which the present value of the coupon payment and maturity equals the market price:

For the complexity this is done with excel or a financial calculator there is also an approximation formula

YTM with excel: 0.073516565

now that we good this we need to determinate the weigth of equity and debt:

250,00 shares x 28 dollars each = 7,000,000

1,500 bonds of $1,000 each at 98% = 7,350,000

value of the company: 7,000,000 + 7,350,000 = 14,350,000

Ew: 7,000,000 / 14,350,000 = 0.487804878

Dw: 7,350,000 / 14,350,000 =0.512195122

Now we got all values and we can determinate the WACC:

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.075357143

Equity weight 0.487804878

Kd 0.074

Debt Weight 0.512195122

t 0.34

WACC = 0.075357143(0.48780487804878) + 0.074(1-0.34)(0.51219512195122)

WACC 0.0617752 = 6.18%

Alla [95]

Answer:

a. is weak-form efficient

Explanation:

A weak-form efficient market postulates that the present price of a stock reflects previous all data from past prices.

It suggests that no technical analysis can be of help to the investor.

This implies that fundamental analysis using historical prices and data of a stock can be used to predict stocks that are overpriced or underpriced.

So researching a company's financial statements gives an edge on predicting today's stock price.

Investors can make abnormal profit

The Whistling Straits Corporation needs to raise $72 million to finance its expansion into new markets. The company will sell ne
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

1,390,718 shares

Explanation:

Amount to be raise = $72 million

Underwriters charges = 5%

Filling Fee = $700,000

After deducting the underwriters charges the amount remains 95% of the total value. The company needs to raise exact $72 million after all charges deducted so, will take this amount as 95% of the total and gross up this value to 100%.

Total Amount to be raised = Amount including the underwrites charge + Filling charge = ( $72,000,000 / 100% - 5% ) + $700,000 = $76,489,474

Share price = $55

Numbers of share = $76,489,474 / $55 = 1,390,718 shares
