Answer:

The discount rate assign to a new project with a Beta of 1.25 is 13.94%

Explanation:

The applicable formula is the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula of Miller and Modgliani  quoted below:

Ke = Rf + (Market risk premium x Beta)

Currently Ke=14.945%

Beta =1.38

Risk free rate of return (Rf) is 4.25%

Market risk premium is the unknown

14.945%=4.25%+(Market Risk Premium)*1.38

14.945%-4.25%=Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70% =Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70%/1.38=Market Risk Premium

Market Risk Premium =7.75%

However, the new project cost of equity has to be determined due to having a different Beta factor of 1.25(a different risk appetite)

Using the above formula, we have

Ke=4.25%+(7.75% *1.25)

Ke =13.94%

how much of a stock's $30 price is reflected in pvgo if it expects to earn $4 per share, has an expected dividend of $2.50, and
Kruka [31]

The amount of the stock price that will be reflected in the PVGO is $10

The value of an organization's potential future growth is symbolized by the acronym PVGO, or "present value of growth opportunities." It represents the potential value for the organization by reinvesting its earnings back into the business.

Expected Dividend payment (D) = $2.50

Total Earnings (E) = $4

Rate of return (ROR) = 20%

Step 1. Using no growth rate (GR), computing the stock price (SP)

Since the growth rate is not specified, 0% is taken as the default value.

The stock price (SP) = E/ROR

= $4 / 20%

Stock price = $20.

Step 2. Computing the SP reflected in PVGO.

So, total SP with no GR

= $30 - $20

Stock price with no growth rate = $10

Hence, the $10 will be reflected in the PVGO

The basic model of pure competition reviewed in this chapter finds that in the long run all firms in a purely competitive indust
Helen [10]

If all firms only earn a normal profit in the long run, firms will develop new products or lower-cost production methods because they can innovate and possibly earn an economic profit in the short run.

Explanation:

Competition involves constant efforts by companies and executives to do more than the loss (normal gains) of new goods or by improving ways to manufacture current products at lower prices. Therefore, if businesses can invent, they will achieve short-term economic advantage.

Economic benefit encourages entry, economic losses lead to exit and firms in a highly profitable market earn little economic income in a long-term equilibrium. In an industry where inflation does not change the costs of materials (a market with a constant cost), the long-term supply curve is a horizontal line.
