1) They are young and not so smart o( just a saying), 2) They think they will be rich forever and forever be on top of the world, 3) Ignorance or following the wrong financial advice, 4) Instead of them wisely taking care of their finances, they put it in other people's hands, who of course abuse it as well or take advantage. :)
Answer:
Clarissa needs to fund the growing perpetuity by $166666.67
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an investment that will give a future series of infinite payments so if the perpetuity gives you a periodic growth rate then you find the difference between the interest rate and the growth rate then use the perpetuity formula which is:
Pv = C/(i-g)
where Pv is the present value of the perpetuity which will be the initial investment.
C is the periodic payments that will be received in future in this case $5000
i is the interest rate given for the perpetuity which is 8%
g is the growth rate per fixed period which is 5%
thereafter we substitute on the above mentioned formula:
Pv= $5000/(8%-5%) then compute
Pv = $166666.67 which will be the initial investment for Clarissa to be paid $5000 per year until she dies.
Answer:
$1,692
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Number of shares purchased = 100
Cost of stock = $30 per share
Commission = $29
Selling price per share = $45
Commission for selling = $29
Earned dividends = $2.50 per share
Now,
Total Return
= Number of Shares × (Sale Price - cost + Total dividends) - Total Commissions
or
Total Return = 100 × ($45 - $30 + $2.50) - (2 × $29)
or
Total Return = $1750 - $58
or
Total Return = $1,692
Answer:
b. the equity method.
Explanation:
The equity method is used when the investor company will own approximately 20% to 50% of the common stock of the investee company. This method is used because the investor company will have significant influence over the actions taken by the investee company. The investee company will generally be considered an affiliate company, but not a subsidiary.
Answer:
8.15 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the business Cost of permanent sources of finance pooled together. It shows the risk of the business and is used to evaluate projects.
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
<u>Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :</u>
After tax cost of debt = Interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.50% x (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
therefore,
WACC = 11.25% x 55% + 6.00% x 10% + 3.90 % x 35%
= 8.15 %
Thus,
Quigley's WACC is closest to 8.15 %.
