Answer: 9.25%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) can be used to find the expected return of a project which is another term for the hurdle rate. This can then be used in the IRR method.
Formula is;
Hurdle Rate = Risk free rate + Beta( Market rate of return - risk free rate)
Hurdle Rate = 4% + 0.75( 11% - 4%)
Hurdle Rate = 4% + 5.25%
Hurdle Rate = 9.25%
Answer:
D.The yield-to-maturity is less than the coupon rate.
Explanation:
Whenever the yield to maturity is less than the bond's coupon rate, bond market value is greater than par value ( premium bond), these applies just as the question states that the premium bond pays $60 in interest annually in seven years and the bond was issued originally 3 years ago at par
in other cases when a bond's coupon rate is less than its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at a discount and when a bond's coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity. the bond is selling at par.
Answer:
b) most shareholders have little direct control over how the company is managed.
Answer:
1. government shoud increase price by 50%. so it would be $3
2. larger effect 5 years from now
3. this is true due to their limited finance compared to adults
Explanation:
1. prices elasticity = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price
price elasticity = 0.4
% change in dmd = 20%
% change in price = ?

we cross multiply
? = 0.20/0.4
= 0.5
= 50%
so if the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, it has to increase the price of cigarettes by half of its price= $2 + $1 = $3
2. goods usually have more elastic demand as time goes on. So if cigarette price is permanently raised, it would have a bigger effect five years from now. This is based on the fact that the people may not feel short run effect of the increase as they would in the long run. But gradually given this increase, people may start to gradually reduce their smoking.
3. The effect of the change in price would be more felt on the teenagers. this is due to the fact that they have limited financial strength compared to adults. Also they are new to smoking compared to the adults and are more likely to be less involved in the habit.
