Answer:
Increased responsibility for corporate officers
Explanation:
A review of eight thousand public companies, on the study of the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 revealed that <u>SOX increased directors' workload and risk, and increased demand by mandating that firms have more outside directors. </u>
It was also revealed that both broad-based changes and cross-sectional changes (by firm size) occurred <u>because Board committees meet more often post-SOX</u> and Director and Officer insurance premiums have doubled.
Answer:
It represents a 5% change to the marketing mix.
Explanation:
The change = 500/10,000 x 100 = 5%.
Company A's change in a variable can be compared with another index, by expressing the change (addition) as a percentage of the index. For instance, the sale of 10,000 units is an index. The additional 500 units that is needed to be sold represent the change. In percentage terms, the change can be divided by the index and then multiplied by 100.
Answer:
7.6%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Global Beta × (Global Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4% + 0.90 × (8% - 4%)
= 4% + 0.90 × 4%
= 4% + 3.6%
= 7.6%
The (Global Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called global market risk premium
Answer:
11.41%
Explanation:
The cost of equity of an all-equity firm can be derived from the below formula:
Levered Cost of Equity = Unlevered Cost of Equity + (Unlevered Cost of Equity - Cost of Debt) * (1 - tax) * Debt-Equity Ratio
Levered Cost of Equity=13.04%
Unlevered Cost of Equity=the unknown(let us assume it is U)
cost of debt=8%
tax rate=25%
debt-equity ratio=0.64
13.04%=U+(U-8%)*(1-25%)*0.64
13.04%=U+(U-8%)*0.75*0.64
13.04%=U+(U-8%)*0.48
0.1304=U+0.48U-0.0384
0.1304+0.0384=1.48U
1.48U=0.1688
U=0.1688/1.48
U=11.41%
I only know the answer to question 4, which is quantitative and qualitative. I’m sorry!
