Builtrite’s common stock is currently selling for $48 a share and the firm just paid an annual dividend of $2.80 per share. Mana

gement believes that dividends and earnings should grow at 8% annually. Since new stock would need to be sold to finance an expansion, Builtrite expects flotation costs to be 5% of the expected selling price of $48 a share. Based on this, and a marginal tax rate of 34%, what is the cost of new common stock?

Answer:

So the cost of new stock will be 14.63 %

Explanation:

We have given dividend for next year = $2.80

Stock price = $48

Flotation rate = 5 %

Growth rate = 8 %

We have to find the cost of new common stock

We know that cost of new common stock is given by

Cost of new stock =\frac{dividend\ for\ next\ year}{stock\ price(1-flotation\ rate)}+growth\ rate

= =\frac{2.8\times (1+0.08)}{48\times (1-0.05)}+0.08=0.1463=14.63%

So the cost of new stock will be 14.63 %

Inflation is the economic condition in which the interest rate keeps increasing which is beneficial for the lenders. But not a fixed rate lender.

<h3 /><h3>What is Interest Rate?</h3>

Interest rate is the prevailing market rate which the lender of the money gets in return for the money provided as a loan.

If there is a fixed interest contract the lender will get the same percentage of return for the duration of contract, no matter the fluctuation of the interest rate in the market. This is not beneficial when the economy is facing inflation. As whatever be the rate in the market (definitely higher) the lender will get the same percentage of return.

However if there is a variable rate contract the rate is updated and the lender is paid at the updated interest rate. This is beneficial when the economy is facing inflation.

Mkey [24]
Okay. So the warehouse bought the digital way Che's for $92.99 and they're gonna sell it to people for 25% more. So what we do is 92.99 * 125% or 1.25 in decimal form. When we multiply the numbers together, the product is 116.2375 or 116.24 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The selling price of the digital watches is $116.24.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.

Explanation:

According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.  

In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q  will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.
