Make decisions that maximize benefits

Explanation:

The whole purpose of a cost-benefit analysis is to allow management to make the best decisions using the measurment of profitability in a specific project or system. The model calculates all the income and benefits as well as all the associated costs, substracting the costs from the benefits. This is how you can determine the opportunity cost for each project or system.

Explanation:

Linear Modeling

Models are an important part of the study of a variety of natural phenomena in a great number of fields like science, health, business, human behavior, economics, among many others.

Once a model is determined, it can be used to estimate future values of important variables which in turn can help people to make decisions.

It has been determined a model that relates the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have with the current age of the head of the household. That model is

$y=165-0.1x$

we are required to estimate the amount of term life insurance to recommend to a family of four when the head of the household is x=41 years old. Let's plug in the given value in the equation

$y=165-0.1\cdot 41=165-4.1=160.9$

$\boxed{y=160.9}$

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 12.47%

Explanation:

First convert the APR to the relevant periodic rate.

The compounding is done daily so the periodic rate is:

= 11.75%/365

Effective Annual rate is calculated by the formula:

= ( 1 + periodic rate) ^ compounding period per year - 1

= ( 1 + 11.75%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1

= 12.47%

A coupon bond that pays interest of 4% annually has a par value of $1,000, matures in 5 years, and is selling today at $785. The

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Actual Yiel to maturity is 9.3%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 4% = $40

Selling price = P = $785

Number of payment = n = 5 years

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $40 + ( $1,000 - $785 ) / 5 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $785 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $40 + $43 ] / $892.5 = $83 /$892.5 = 0.0645 = 0.093%

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Common Stock 5,000

Additional paid-in Common stock 70,000

Preferred Stock 15,000

Additional paid-in Preferred stock 22,500

Explanation:

For the common and preferred stock accounts, we multiply the shares outstanding by the face value.

The additional paid-in will be the difference between the par value and the market price of the share at issuance.

Common stock

5,000 issued shares x $ 1 par value = 5,000

Additional paid-in

15 - 1 = 14 additional paid-in per share

5,000 shares x 14 = 70,000

Preferred stock

1,500 issued shares x $ 10 par value = 15,000

Additional paid-on

25 - 10 = 15 additional per share

1,500 x 15 = 22,500

Calculate the firm’s WACC (using 2018 numbers). (You will need to collect information on the long-term debt and common stock equ

tester [92]

Answer:

Before tax cost of debt is 7.12%

After tax cost of debt is 4.27%

Cost of equity is 10%

Explanation:

The before-tax cost of debt can be determined using excel rate formula as found below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of semiannual payments the bond has i.e 20*2=40

pmt is the amount of semiannual payment=$1000*7.5%*6/12=$ 37.50

pv is the current price =$1000*104%=$1,040.00

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(40,37.50,-1040,1000)=3.56%

The 3.56% is semiannual yield, hence 7.12% per year (3.56%*2)

After-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-t) where is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

after-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-0.40)=4.27%

Cost of equity is determined using the below CAPM formula:

Ke=Rf+Beta*(Mr-Rf)

Rf is the risk free rate of 4%

Beta is 1.2

Mr is the market return of 9%

Ke=4%+1.2(9%-4%)=10.00%
