Answer: 9.7%

Explanation:

Given Data

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)

= 0.096 * 100

= 9.6%

Unlevered Equity Cost ;

ReU= Wd × rd + We × re

= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%

= 9.28%

Levered Equity Cost:

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 * 100

= 9.7%

Crosby contracts with Subban whereby Crosby agrees to sweep Subban retail shop at the end of each work day. Before the first pay
Alchen [17]

Crosby signs a contract with Subban and agrees to meet at Subban's business at the conclusion of each work day, before the first payment is due, and then files a lawsuit against Subban, claiming that the license is unenforceable because the license's objective is to protect the public.

<h3>What is contract?</h3>

A contract is the legal agreement between the two parties. It contains all the essentials of section 10. On the breach of such contract, the party who break the contract will be punishable under the act.

Crosby and Subban have a contract in which Crosby agrees to sweep Subban's retail store at the end of each work day. Subban discovers Crosby is unlicensed before the first payment is due.

All retail floor sweepers in Florida are required to be certified and pay annual dues.

As a result, Subban does not compensate Crosby for his efforts. When Crosby s pursues a breach of contract complaint against Subban to court, the judge will conclude the contract is invalid since the purpose of the license is to protect the public.

Therefore, the contract is unenforceable.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply <u>WILL NOT CHANGE</u>, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply <u>WILL INCREASE</u>.

Explanation:

Any monetary injection to the banking system will increase the money supply only if the banking system (the whole set of banks) lends the money. The total effect is calculated by the increase in money x the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / required reserves.

If the bank does not lend the money, then the money supply will not change.
