Answer:

A. Cost of funds has changed

B. Firm's risk has changed

Explanation:

The required rate of return on bonds refers to an investor's expected rate of return which is based upon rate of return other investors earn in the market on similarly priced bonds. This is also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.

Coupon rate of payment of bond is the interest payment on such bonds which is usually fixed at the time of issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may differ on account of change in cost of funds to the issuer which is cost of debt denoted as K_{d} . Cost of debt is determined by tax rate and net proceeds from the issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may also change on account of change in the firm's risk. If the firm assumes more risk, such risk would deter investors from investing in such bonds and in such scenario, the firm has to offer higher coupon rate than the rate prevailing in the market to attract the investors.

Finger [1]

Answer:

a. 166 units should be ordererd of brackets

b. They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Annual Demand= 850 brackets

Buying cost=$10

carrying cost=13%×$10=$1.30

ordering cost per order=$21

a. To calculate how many brackets should be ordered when WCU places an order with their supplier we have to calculate the EOQ as follows:

EOQ=√<u>2AO</u>

              C

EOQ=√<u>2×850×21</u>

               1-30

EOQ=166 Units

166 units should be ordererd of brackets

b. To calculate how many brackets do they have when they should place a new order with the supplier we would habe to make the following calculation:

Reorder point=<u>Annual Demand     </u>    ×  lead time

                        working days in year

Reorder point=<u>850  × </u>  3

                         250

=10 brackets

They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets

Alchen [17]

Answer:

12.88%

Explanation:

Angela's disposable income $2,368

monthly expenses including recreational expenses ($2,127)

net cash flow $241

after expenses are reduced by $64, her net cash flow will increase to $305

Angela's monthly savings rate = (net cash flow / disposable income) x 100 = $305 / $2,368 = 12.88%

A person's savings rate is how much money they save (do not spend) compared to their total disposable income.

The beta of Stock A is –0.4 (indicating that its returns rise when returns on most other stocks fall). If the risk-free rate is
Marianna [84]

Answer:

=2.98%

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;

CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)

risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal

beta = -0.4

market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;

r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)

r = 0.045 -0.0152

r = 0.0298 or 2.98%

Therefore the required return is 2.98%
