Answer:
a.
The cost of equity is 10% if beta is 0.75
b.
The cost of equity is 11.20% if beta is 0.9
c.
The cost of equity is 12.40% if beta is 1.05
d.
The cost of equity is 13.60% if beta is 1.2
Explanation:
The SML approach is used to calculate the required rate or return (r) which is the minimum return that the investors require to invest in a company's stock. This is also referred to as the cost of equity. The formula for required rate of return under SML is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on Market
a.
r = 0.04 + 0.75 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.10 or 10%
b.
r = 0.04 + 0.9 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.112 or 11.20%
c.
r = 0.04 + 1.05 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.124 or 12.40%
d.
r = 0.04 + 1.2 * (0.12 - 0.04)
r = 0.136 or 13.60%
Answer:
c. mass marketing
Explanation:
The firm is practicing mass marketing because it has a strategy that is trying to sell the product on a large scale ignoring market segments and not trying to know its customers to be able to understand what they expect and like that target them in a more effective way.
Question Completion:
Figures in thousands (000):
Product Segment Capacity Next Round
Dug Core 1200
Dune Core 1450
Beetle Core 1040
Bat Core 1050
New Core 100
Adam Core 1200
Answer:
Chester Company
Competitive Intelligence Report:
Based on the increased 10% capacity, the industry can produce 6,644 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Product Segment Capacity Next Round Increased Capacity (1.1)
Dug Core 1,200 1,320
Dune Core 1,450 1,595
Beetle Core 1,040 1,144
Bat Core 1,050 1,155
New Core 100 110
Adam Core 1,200 1,320
Total 6,040 6,644
b) Each of the core segment products can be increased by the increased capacity factor of 1.10 (1 + i), where "i" is the rate of capacity increase. Alternatively, the total capacity in the current period can be increased by the increased capacity factor. Either way, produces the same result of an increased capacity of 6,644 units that the industry can produce. The result also shows that the options provided in the question are not correct. They must have been based on other assumptions.
Had to look for the options and the answer the best fits the blank provided is PREEMPTIVE. When we say preemptive right, this is the right granted to certain shareholders in order for them to buy additional shares in the company. Hope this answers your question.
