Answer:
$4,908,000
Explanation:
The computation of accumulated depreciation expense for this purchase is shown below:-
Depreciation expense = ((Cost of machine - Salvage) ÷ Estimated useful life of machine)
= (($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ 15) × 2
= $36,810,000 ÷ 15 × 2
= $4,908,000
Therefore for computing the depreciation expense we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
Explanation:
C(q) = 100+10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3
To find the firm marginal cost function:
Take the derivative with respect to q
MC = 10 - 2q + q^2
Assuming that the market price is p , then the profit maximising condition is:
MR = MC
p = 10 - 2q + q^2
The short-run supply curve is the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost.
The average variable cost is:
AVC =VC/Q
AVC = (10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3)/Q
AVC = 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2
So, the short-run supply curve is:
SRS = 10 - 2q + q^2 if p > 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2
Answer:
The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.
The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.
Explanation:
a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:
We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
Answer: less than the coupon
Explanation:
When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.
It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.
Option B is correct.
