Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Sale of share = NQOs received × No. of shares × Selling price per share
= 10 × 8 × $22
= $1,760
Gain realised:
= Sale of share - Basis
= $1,760 - [NQOs received × No. of shares × Selling price per share at $15]
= $1,760 - [10 × 8 × $15]
= $1,760 - $1,200
= $560
Tax paid = Gain realised × preferential rate
= $560 × 15%
= $84
Answer:
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
The Capital assets pricing model would be used to determined the required rate of return
<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>
Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) - required return
β- Beta
Rm- Return on market
Rf- Risk-free rate
DATA
E(r) =? , Rf- 3%, Rm-14% , β- 1.1, flotation cost - 4%
E(r) = 3% + 1.1× (14% - 3%) = 15.1
%
Cost of equity = required rate of return + flotation cost
= 15.1
% + 4% = 19.1
%
Cost of equity = 19.1
%
