Answer:

cost of equity = 13%

Explanation:

With the info given, we will use cost of equity formula from Dividend Growth Model. THis is given by:

k_e=\frac{D_1}{P_0}+g

Where D_1 is the next year dividend or D_1 = D_0(1+g)

P_0 is current stock price

g is the growth rate

Since D_0 (dividend this year) is 4.20 and g = 6.4%  or 0.064, we can calculate D_1:

D_1=D_0(1+g)=4.2(1+0.064)=4.47

Current share price is 68, so we can now calculate cost of equity:

k_e=\frac{4.47}{68}+0.064=0.13

Hence,

cost of equity = 13%

Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri
erica [24]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.

What is the safest option when it comes to storing money?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Hi there! There is no 100% safest option when storing money. It depends on the amount, and specific options. For example : personal safe/ vault in secured and well protected home. Another example would be a bank, with low security. I believe it is circumstantial. I think it is best to have a secured personal house/ building with high security. Hope this helps! : )

Benson Corporation manufactures car stereos. It is a division of Berna Motors, which manufactures vehicles. Benson sells car ste
Alla [95]

Answer:

Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)

Explanation:

The Benson  Division is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity .

This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both demand of  internal and external buyers.

<em>Hence, Benson Division  cannot accommodate the demands of the Berna Division at a price lower than the external price, because it will result to a loss in contribution.</em>

To maximize and optimize the group's profit in this scenario, the minimum transfer should be:

Minimum transfer price = External selling price - savings in selling cost resulting from in internal transfer

= $86-3= 83

Minimum transfer price = $83.

Effect on Group's profit

<em>Any unit transferred at a priced lower than $83 would result in a unit loss to the Benson Division equal to $83 minus the transfer  price.</em>

<em>Any unit transferred to Berna at a price lower that its current purchase cost would save the division an amount equal to the current purchase cost  minus the forced transfer price.</em>

The potential loss to the organization as a whole would be computed as the net effect of the following:

Lost contribution by Benson : The difference between the Minimum transfer price and the transfer imposed by the group company multiplied by the quantity transferred.

Savings made by the Berna Division : The difference between the forced transfer price and current purchase of Berna.

We can summarize the effect of the forced transfer price on the whole corporation as follows:

Lost contribution per unit = 83 - 35= 48 .

Savings made per unit = 80 - 35 = 45

                                                                                       $

Total lost contribution by Benson

(48 × 200,000)                                                         (960,000)            

Savings made by Berna as result of the transfer

(45 × 200,000)                                                          <u>900,000</u>

Potential loss to the group                                       <u> (60,000)</u>

Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)
