Answer:

Option (B) 5.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Factor             Risk premium

Factor 1               5%

Factor 2              3%

Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4

Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5

Expected return = 14%

Now,

Expected return

= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)

or

14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)

or

14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )

or

Risk free rate = 5.5%

Hence,

Option (B) 5.5%

Resolve (7x+19)/(x+1)(x+5) into partial fraction​
Volgvan

Answer:

\dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}=\dfrac{3}{x+1}+\dfrac{4}{x+5}

Explanation:

The given expression is  

\dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}

We need to resolve this into partial fraction.

The form of the partial fraction decomposition is

\dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}=\dfrac{A}{x+1}+\dfrac{B}{x+5}        ...(1)

\dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}=\dfrac{A(x+5)+B(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+5)}

7x+19=Ax+5A+Bx+B

7x+19=(A+B)x+(5A+B)

On comparing both sides, we get

A+B=7      ...(2)

5A+B=19    ...(3)

Subtract (2) from (3), we get

4A=12

A=3

Put A=3 in (1).

3+B=7

B=4

Put A=3 and B=4 in (1).

\dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}=\dfrac{3}{x+1}+\dfrac{4}{x+5}

Therefore, \dfrac{7x+19}{(x+1)(x+5)}=\dfrac{3}{x+1}+\dfrac{4}{x+5} .

Tristan transfers property with a tax basis of $1,255 and a fair market value of $1,570 to a corporation in exchange for stock w
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: $1531

Explanation:

The corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange will be the addition of Tristan's Tax basis and the gain that's recognized on exchange by Tristan.

The gain realized will be:

= $1,570 - $1,255

= $315

Boot received = $276

Therefore, lower of $315 or $276 is $276.

The corporation's tax basis in the property received will then be:

= $1255 + $276

= $1531

The Whistling Straits Corporation needs to raise $64 million to finance its expansion into new markets. The company will sell ne
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

<u>Hence $21,700,000 shares are to be sold to raise the needed funds.</u>

Explanation:

Per-share offer price of company = $60, which includes company's underwriter spread of 5%

So, actual realization to company on $60 per share = (1 - 0.95) * 60

Actual realization to company on $60 per share = $ 3

To raise $64 million company also needs to cover administrative expenses of $1.2 million

So,

Total number of shares sold(in million) = (64 + 1.2)/3

Total number of shares sold = 21,700,000 shares
