Answer:

Cost of equity =  7.47%

Explanation:

<em>The Discounted Cash flow (DCF) Model; This 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 that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return. </em>

Using this model,  the required rate of return is the cost of equity. It is given below as follows:

Cost of equity (Ke) =( D(1+g)/P) + g

Div in year 0, P= ex-div market price, g= growth rate in div.

D- 0.75 , g- 2.9%, P-16.90

For this question,

Ke= ( 0.75×(1+0.029)/16.90 ) + 0.029

=0.0746 × 100  

= 7.47%

Cost of equity =  7.47%

katrin [286]

Answer:

a.

January 1    Cash                                          720000 Dr

                   Discount on Bonds Payable    30000 Dr

                            Bonds Payable                        750000 Cr

b.

January 1    Cash                                          772500 Dr

                             Bonds Payable                        750000 Cr

                             Premium on Bonds Payable  22500 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When the bonds are issued at 96, this means that they are issued at 96% of the face value of the bond which is 750000 * 0.96 = 720000

So, the cash received from issuing the bonds is 720000. As the face value of the bonds is 750000 which will be recorded as bonds payable, the difference between the cash received and the face value is the discount amount which will be debited.

b.

When the bonds are issued at 103, this means that they are issued at 103% of the face value of the bond which is 750000 * 1.03 = 772500

So, the cash received from issuing the bonds is 772500. As the face value of the bonds is 750000 which will be recorded as bonds payable, the difference between the cash received and the face value is the premium amount which will be credited.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

D. The price per unit changes as volume changes.

Explanation:

According to the assumption of cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, the fixed cost will remain constant.  It will never be changed. Because of the change in volume, the total cost would get affected that means the total cost amount is changed as compare before. As the volume changes, the price per unit is also the same.  

So, the appropriate option is d. As the sales volume changes with the change in volume and the same are applied for variable cost.

Suppose the equilibrium price of textbooks is $40 a textbook. At that price, quantity of textbooks demanded and supplied is 20,0
Allisa [31]

Answer:

elasticity of demand is 2.16. Consumers pay a smaller portion of the tax

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

(2/19)(2/41) = 2.16

When the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1, demand is elastic.

Elastic demand means that a small change in price leads to a greater change in quantity demanded.

Because demand is elastic, more of the burden of the tax falls on producers and consumers pay a small portion of the tax.
