Answer:
$31.82
Explanation:
market price $50
expected rate of return /Re) = 14%
Div = $50 x 14% = $7
risk free rate (Rf) = 6%
market premium (Rm - Rf) = 8.5%
beta = ?
14% = 6% + (beta x 8.5%)
beta x 8.5% = 14% - 6% = 8%
beta = 8% / 8.5 = 0.941
if beta doubles to 1.882, then Re will be:
Re = 6% + (1.882 x 8.5%) = 22%
new market price of the stocks = $7 / 22% = $31.818 = $31.82
Answer:
d. synonyms for price.
Explanation:
All the stated items (attorney fees, entrance fees, train fares, and organisation dues) are all prices.
Price is the amount that is paid for a particular good or service performed.
When fixing a price usually there is an offer and acceptance of the amount to be paid for goods or services.
Also payment can be made upfront like the case of train fare. While in other instances payment may be deferred as is seen in attorney fees and organisation dues.
Price can also change when one party grants concession to the other, for example loan rebate where the debtor is given price relief.
Answer:
b) fall to 8 percent.
Explanation:
First, irrespective of the duration of the bond, if the price is equal to the bond's face value, it means that the coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity (YTM).
Initial YTM = 10%
Since this is a perpetually coupon paying bond, you use PV of perpetuity to find the rate;
PV = Coupon PMT / rate
Given PV as $1,250, new annual rate would be;
1,250 = 100/rate
solve for rate by cross multiplying;
1,250rate = 100
divide both sides by 1,250
rate = 100/1,250
rate = 0.08 or 8%
Therefore, the
interest rate would fall to 8 percent.
Home loan amount = $165,000
Estimated closing costs = $6,187.50
% of estimated closing cost = ?
$165,000 * x% = $6,187.50
x% = $6,187.50 ÷ $165,000
x% = 0.0375
x = 0.0375 x 100 = 3.75
Therefore, estimated closing costs = 3.75% of loan amount = 3.75% of $165,000
Actual closing costs = 3.5% of loan amount = 3.5% of $165,000 = $5775
Difference in estimated and actual closing cost percent = 3.75% - 3.5% = 0.25%
The closing costs were lower than the estimate by 0.25%
