Starbucks uses a product development strategy when it announced the release of the single-serve coffee maker in its outlets at the United States. This is because they plan to offer a new product, which is an improvement to the existing coffee maker devices in the U.S. market.
Answer:
0.097 OR 9.7%
Explanation:
Cost of Equity using CAPM-
Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)
where,
Rf = Risk free return = 6%,
Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,
Beta = 0.9
Therefore,
Re = .06 + .9 (.04)
= 9.6%
Unlevered cost of equity:
ReU = Wd × rd + We × re
where,
ReU = Unlevered cost of equity,
Wd = Debt = 20%
rd = cost of debt = 8%
We = equity = 80%
re = cost of equity = 9.6%
Therefore,
ReU = 0.20 × 8% + .80 × 9.6%
= 9.28%
Levered cost of Equity:
New Debt = 60%,
New Equity = 40%,
New rd = 9%
ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)
= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)
= 0.097 OR 9.7%
Answer: Option B
Explanation: In simple words, revenue refers to the income received by an organisation by performing its main activities. It is the amount of cash inflow made by the company before deducting the expense incurred to generate those inflows.
It is also sometimes referred to as gross profit or sales.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
The consumer price index, or cpi, has the following formula:
Let's compute the real base period price for the cpi today.
Base Period Price = $9.2
Then, we compare the apparent with the real:
Real Base Period: $11 - $9.2 = $1.8
Apparent Base Period: $11 - $10 = $1
Real > Apparent, thus your real wage rate has increased since 2005.
Answer:
0.0919411
4.87%
Explanation:
Given that:
AMAZON :
Investment = $2000
Expected return = 8.2%
Standard deviation = 5.07%
APPLE :
Investment = $6500
Expected return = 9.5%
Standard deviation = 6.84%
Total investment = $(2000 + 6500) = $8500
Amazon investment weight :
2000 / 8500 = 0.2353
Apple investment weight :
6500 / 8500 = 0.7647
Expected return on portfolio:
(Amazon weight * Amazon expected return) + (apple weight * apple expected return)
= (0.2353 * 0.082) + (0.7647 * 0.095)
= 0.0919411
= 0.0919411 * 100%
= 9.19411 = 9.19%
Portfolio risk :
Sqrt[(Amazon weight ² * amazon standard deviation²) + (apple weight ² * apple standard deviation ²) + 2 (weight of Amazon * weight of apple * covariance)]
Sqrt[(0.2353^2 * 0.0507^2) + (0.7647^2 * 0.0684^2) + 2(0.2353 * 0.7647 * - 0.0014)
Sqrt(0.0023743662707145)
= 0.0487274
= 0.0487274 * 100%
= 4.87%
