Answer:
Scalability
Explanation:
Scalability is the ability to increase or decrease resources for any given workload.
- When the resource is increased by the addition of more resources to service a workload, it is known as Scaling Out.
- When the resource is decreased by the reduction of resources to service a reduced workload, it is known as Scaling In.
- When additional capabilities is added to manage an increase in demand to the existing resource , it is referred to as Scaling Up.
- Likewise, when capabilities is reduced to manage a decrease in demand to the existing resource , it is referred to as Scaling Down.
Scaling does not have to be done automatically.
Answer:
The stock price is $31.14
Explanation:
The value of Brickhouse stock today is the present values of future cash flows from the stock discounted using the required rate of return of 10.7% as the discount rate as done below:
Years cash flows discount factor Present values
1 $2.85 1/(1+10.7%)^1=0.903342367 $2.57
2 $2.34 1/(1+10.7%)^2=0.816027432 $1.91
3 & beyond *$32.67 1/(1+10.7%)^2=0.816027432 $ 26.66
total present values= $31.14
* the year 3 and beyond represents the terminal value of the stock,which is computed using the formula below
=D2*(1+g)/r-g
D2 is the year dividend of $2.34
g is the dividend growth rate of 3.3%
r is the required rate of return which 10.7%
terminal value=$2.34*(1+3.3%)/(10.7%-3.3%)
=2.41722
/0.074
=$32.67
Answer:
13.64%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.8% + 1.7 × (10% - 4.8%)
= 4.8% + 1.7 × 5.2%
= 4.8% + 8.84%
= 13.64%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .
Explanation:
Here the cost of equity given is - 11.8%
Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%
Tax rate- 35%
So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%
= 4.485%
The debt to equity ratio - .6
So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )
= .375
Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )
= .625
Weighted average cost of capital =
Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity
= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625
= 1.681875 + 7.735
= 9.06%
Answer: 6.29%
Explanation:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( expected return - risk free rate)
Beta.

Required return = 3.63% + 0.493(9.03% - 3.63%)
= 6.29%
