Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

correct option is b. $3,679,800

Explanation:

given data

offering = 130,000 shares

offer price = $38

underwriter spread = 8 percent

administrative costs = $865,000

solution

we get here Net proceeds from sale that is express as

Net proceeds = Gross proceeds - Underwriter's spread - Administrative costs ....................1

here Gross proceeds from sale is = offering share × offer price

Gross proceeds from sale is  = 130000 × $38

Gross proceeds from sale is  = $49,40,000

and Underwriter's spread will be offering share × offer price  × underwriter spread %

Underwriter's spread = $49,40,000 × 8%

Underwriter's spread = $3,95,200

so Net proceeds  will be

Net proceeds = $49,40,000 - $3,95,200 - $865,000

Net proceeds = $3,679,800

so correct option is b. $3,679,800

Alpha Industries stock sold for $39 a share at the beginning of the year. During the year, the company paid a dividend of $3 a s
nadezda [96]

Answer: c. capital loss.

Explanation:

A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.

The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is $1,881,600

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Unit sells = 10,000 units

Growth rate = 12%

Selling price = $150 per unit

Costing = $100 per unit

So, we can calculate the budget sales revenue by using following formula:

Budget sales unit for quarter 3 = (10,000 × 112%) × 112% = 12,544

So, budget sales amount for quarter 3 = 12,544 × $150

= $1,881,600

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

 bonds D  = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $632.1223

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m  $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $586.3709

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m  $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $351.1791

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m  $508.3493

Total $859.5284

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $325.7616

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m  $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

Suppose that the pound is pegged to gold at £20 per ounce and the dollar is pegged to gold at $35 per ounce. This implies an exc
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.

We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros

E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)

After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.
