Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 12 %
Levered cost of equity:
= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5
= 15%
Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.
Answer:
a. Petunia only
Explanation:
A petition for relief through an individual's repayment plan is a document filled out asking to pay off a debt by making small individual payments stretched out over a specific period of time, and can only be filled by the debtor and accepted by the creditors. Therefore it can only be filled out by Petunia.
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) X=4.975 percent
Explanation:
(a) Find the z-value that corresponds to 5.40 percent
.


Hence the net interest margin of 5.40 percent is 2.5 standard deviation above the mean.
The area to the left of 2.5 from the standard normal distribution table is 0.9938.The probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin that exceeds 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062
(b) The z-value that corresponds to 4.40 percent is
The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is 0.5 standard deviation above the mean.
Using the normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915
Therefore the probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin less than 4.40 percent is 0.6915
(c) The z-value that corresponds to 95% which is 1.65
We substitute the 1.65 into the formula and solve for X.




A bank that wants its net interest margin to be less than the net interest margins of 95 percent of all U.S. banks should set its net interest margin to 4.975 percent.
Answer:
When an economy produces at full employment, but consumers, government, there is a recessionary gap - Option B.
Explanation:
According to the Keynesian perspective, firms produce output only if they expect it to sell.
While the availability of the factors of production determines a nation’s potential gross domestic product (GDP), the amount of goods and services actually being sold, known as real GDP depends on how much demand exists across the economy.
Keynes termed a fall in the aggregate demand as a recessionary gap.
A recessionary gap refers to an economy operating at a level below its full-employment equilibrium. Under this condition, the level of real gross domestic product (GDP) is lower than the level of full employment, which puts downward pressure on prices in the long run.
Thus, when an economy produces at full employment, but consumers, government, there is a recessionary gap - Option B.
C. balance sheets
