Answer:

Suppose a firm has been losing money and thus is not paying taxes, and this situation is expected to persist into the foreseeable future. In this case, the firm’s before-tax and after-tax costs of debt for purposes of calculating the WACC will both be equal to the interest rate on the firm’s currently outstanding debt, provided that debt was issued during the past 5 years.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The beta of stock T is 1.82

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is made up of the weighted average of the individual stock betas in the portfolio.

The formula for portfolio beta is,

Portfolio beta = wA * beta of A + wB * beta of B + ... + wX * beta of X

The weight of stock T in the portfolio is = 1 - (0.11 + 0.56) = 0.33 or 33%

Let beta of Stock T be x. The beta of Stock T is:

1.47 = 0.11 * 0.84 + 0.56 * 1.39 + 0.33 * x

1.47 = 0.0924 + 0.7784 + 0.33x

1.47 - 0.0924 - 0.7784 = 0.33x

0.5992 / 0.33 = x

x = 1.815 rounded off to 1.82

The law of supply explains the correlation between supply and price. As prices increase, supply also tends to increase.
