Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": They should be ignored in a bidding war.
Explanation:
Negotiations are vital in every aspect. They allow individuals to deal with situations in which parties need from each other but either of them is willing to take the first step to come to an agreement. Negotiations can also be useful out of problematic situations when parties voluntarily want to make a pact but the initial terms are unclear.
Placing limits for negotiations is important as well. Limits will prevent parties from giving to much of themselves or avoiding the other party to take advantage of a given situation. Thus, in front of war, limits must be placed in a negotiation.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The new cost of capital if this firm changes capital structure is 1.3
Explanation:
From the provided information:
All equity beta = 1
New D/E ratio = 0.5
Then, the new capital structure with levered beta is given by:
new capital structure  = All equity beta *(1 + D/E*(1 - tax rate))
                                      = 1*(1 + 0.5*(1 - 40%)) 
                                      = 1.3
Therefore, The new cost of capital if this firm changes capital structure is 1.3
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: $23.63 million
Explanation:
First and foremost, we can calculate the quarterly common stockholder dividend which will be:
= $0.25 × 1 Million
= $0.25 million
Then, the annual dividend to the common stockholders will be:
= $0.25 million × 4
= $1 million 
The quarterly preferred stockholder dividend will be calculated as:
= $0.50 × 0.50 Million
= $0.25 million
We would then multiply $0.25 million by 4 to get the annual dividend attributable to the preferred stockholders which will be:
= $0.25 million × 4
= $1 Million
Total Dividend would then be:
= Annual dividend to common stockholders + Annual dividend to preferred stockholder
= $1 Million + $1 Million
= $2 Million
The value of the retained earnings balance at the end of the year will then be:
= Retained Earnings at the beginning of the year + Net Income – Dividend
= $23.45 + $2.18 - $2.00
= $23.63 million
