Answer:
d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).
Explanation:
Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance
Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.
- VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5 implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
- VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating
= σ^2 /
; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 = j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j

Answer:
Task a:
The answer is $24,500.
Task b:
The answer is 17%
Explanation:
<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
We already know the following:
Projected net income = $21,000
Payout ratio = 30%
Retention ratio = 70%
Debt share = 40%
Equity share = 60%
Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×
= $21,000 × 
= $24,500
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.
<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth
Formula:
k(e) =
+ 0.05
Where
Do = $2.00
G = 0.05
P = $21/88
= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05
= 0.17 or 17%
<h3>Answer: </h3>
The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
Answer:
$60
Explanation:
An individual buys stock at $40 per share. Many years later, the individual dies when the market value is $60. The estate distributes the shares to a beneficiary when the stock is worth $70. Therefore the cost basis to the beneficiary is
The cost basis by definition is usually equal to the fair market value of the property or asset at the time of the decedent's death or when the actual transfer of assets was made.
However for the purpose to be served to reduce the tax due on the inheritance, we have chosen to opt for the fair market value of the property or asset at the time of the decedent's death which is $60
