Answer:
The firm's cost of common stock is 13%
Explanation:
Use the following CAPM formula to calculate the cost of common stock
Cost of common stock = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - Risk free rate )
Where
Risk free rate = 5.5%
Market return = 11.50%
Beta = 1.25
Placing values in the formula
Cost of common stock = 5.5% + 1.25 x ( 11.50% - 5.5% )
Cost of common stock = 13%
I think the answer is what and for whom.
In order to produce deals, there are 2 components need to be considered by every companies. The suitable product to sell (which answer the 'what' part of the economic question) and other parties that are willing to buy the product that they sell (which answer the 'for whom' part of the economic question)
Answer:
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 366.04.
Explanation:
The first step in order to solve this question/problem is to calculate or determine the Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007, that is to say;
Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 = [actual sales in 2005 + actual sales in 2006 + actual sales in 2007]/ 3.
Therefore, Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 =[ 281 + 367 + 409]/3 = 1057/3 = 352.3.
Since we are asked to use the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, then, we have that for 2008 the forecast = 352.3.
Therefore, the forecast from the year 2009 through to the year 2012 can be calculated as given below;
The forecast for the year 2009 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 467 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 375.24.
The forecast for the year 2010 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 369 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 355.64.
The forecast for the year 2011 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 511 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 384.04.
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 421 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 366.04.

On December 31, 2014, Renda's common stock sold for $35 per share. At that price, how much did investors say $1 of the company's net income was worth? Earnings per share = $1.50
Answer:
Renda Company
The value of $1 of the company's net income by investors was:
$23.33
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Market price of Renda's common stock = $35 per share
Earnings per share = $1.50
This means that investors' value on $1 = $35/$1.50 = $23.33
b) Investors in Renda's common stock place a value of $23.33 for each $1 of the company's net income. This is why they can afford to pay $35 per share in order to benefit from $1 of the company's earnings. This calculation is based on the price-earnings ratio, which relates the company's share price to the earnings per share.
Answer: True.
Explanation:
Here, the statement is related to the economic theory of demand, not with economic theory of supply. So, we are considering only law of demand.
The statement is true according to the economic theory of demand.
Economic theory of demand states that other things remains constant, increase in the price of a commodity results in lower demand for that commodity and vice versa. There is an inverse relationship between the price and demand of a commodity.
Economic theory of supply states that other things remains constant, increase in the price of a commodity results in higher supply for that commodity and vice versa. There is a direct relationship between the price and supply for a commodity.
