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 %

Sharon is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: I
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The basic principle is known as the opportunity cost

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is defined as something that you are not earning because you don't do a revenue activity.

In this case, Sharon doesn't receive $9 per each hour that she prefers to go to the swimming pool. Also, she is expending $4 additional to the opportunity cost each time that she goes to swim.

<em>For example, if she goes to swim 2 hours a day instead of work them, we can conclude that she isn't earning $18 and lossing $4 additional for the fee entrance to the swimming pool.     </em>

<em />

Please, note that, are different the concepts of "let of earning" and "lossing". First one talks about money that you never have had and the second is about money that you had but now you don't.

Heila is the daughter of your neighbor, Mary. She and her 6-year-old son moved in with Mary in August. Mary would like you to pr
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The options are missing:

  1. File the return since you know that Mary has done them a favor by allowing them to move in.
  2. Explain the residency requirement and file the return showing the grandson lived with Mary for more than half the year.
  3. File the return, but only after Mary assures you that Sheila will not be claiming her son.
  4. Explain to Mary that she is not eligible to claim her grandson, and that you cannot knowingly file an incorrect tax return.

My answer would be:

4. Explain to Mary that she is not eligible to claim her grandson, and that you cannot knowingly file an incorrect tax return.

Explanation:

This is both a legal and ethical question.

Legally, Mary is not allowed to deduct Heila's son as her dependent because she only lived with her for 5 months and the minimum requirement is 6 months.

Ethically, you are asked to benefit someone that is your friend (or might not), but in order to do so you must break the law. Is it ethical to break the law in order to benefit an specific person? The answer is no, the law should be the same for everyone. To be honest, no one will probably even realize that you did something illegal, but bad actions always have consequences and we do not always realize them.
