Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The computation of the required rate of return on this preferred stock is shown below :
The Required return on preferred stock is
= Dividend ÷ market value of preferred stock
= 7.50 ÷ $70
= 10.71%
By dividing the dividend from the market value of preferred stock we can get the Required return on preferred stock and the same is to be considered
therefore we ignored the par value i.e $60 as this is not relevant

The net cash provided by investing activities on the statement of cash flows will be $106,000
Explanation:
Investing activities include all the cash transactions incurred for the fixed asset of the company.
The net cash provided by (used in) investing activities can be calculated as follows

Sale of long-term investment = $60,000 ( Cash inflow )
Collection by McCorey of a loan made to another company = $46,000 ( Cash Inflow )

Net cash provided by investing activities = $60,000 + $46,000 = $106,000
Answer:
Explanation:
If a company(Marriott in this case) uses a single hurdle rate to decide whether an investment should be undertaken or not, some projects that need to be accepted would end up being rejected and vice versa. For example,
if Marriott's hurdle rate is 10% and it's evaluating
project A with a 15% cost of capital &
project B with a 6% cost of capital .
Evaluation:
Project A would probably lead to a negative NPV because the cost of capital is higher (meaning it is riskier than the firm) hence could be rejected, but using the company hurdle rate of 10% to evaluate it could make its NPV positive. This would ignore the actual additional risk of the project.
