Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Debt ratio is defined as the ratio of total debt to total asset. which means a company has more liabilities than assets.

So company HD will have a higher ROE because of them having a higher debt ratio.

Answer:

D) Company HD has a higher ROE than Company LD.

Explanation:

This is easier to explain using an example:

                                           HD                               LD

total sales                          $100                            $100

profit margin                       10%                               10%

total assets                         $50                              $50

total liabilities                     $30                              $25

total equity                         $20                              $25

debt ratio                            0.6                               0.5

return on equity            = 10/20 = 50%            = 10/25 = 40%

Since company HD has a higher debt ratio, it means that stockholders' equity is lower compared to company LD. Since ROE measures how much profit is generated by each dollar invested, a lower denominator results in a higher ratio.

Blossom Corp. will pay dividends of $5.00, $6.25, $4.75, and $3.00 in the next four years. Thereafter, management expects the di
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the stock, we will use the following formula,

Present value = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends
  • n is the number of years

Present value = 5 / (1+0.155)  +  6.25 / (1+0.155)^2  + 4.75 / (1+0.155)^3  +  

3 / (1+0.155)^4  +  [(3 * (1+0.07)  /  (0.155 - 0.07))  /   (1+0.155)^4]

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Suppose your company needs $13 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .55. The flotation cost fo
natulia [17]

Answer:<em>True cost = \frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }</em>

<em>=  \frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}</em>

<em>= $ 13,669,821.2</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Debt-Equity ratio = 0.55

Flotation cost for new equity = 6%

Flotation cost for debt = 3 %

∴ To compute the weighted flotation cost , we'll use the following formula:

Weighted Flotation cost =\left [ \frac{1}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of equity \right ] + \left [ \frac{Debt-Equity ratio}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of debt \right ]

=  \left [ \frac{1}{1+0.55}\times 0.06 \right ] + \left [ \frac{0.55}{1+0.55}\times 0.03 \right ]

= 0.0387 + 0.0106

= 0.04934 or 4.93%

The true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account is evaluated using the following formula :

True cost = \frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }

=  \frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}

= $ 13,669,821.2

Cynthia is a hospitality worker in the lodging industry who prefers to cater to small groups of people. She might want to open a bed and breakfast. If Cynthia enjoys working with others in the lodging industry, but on a smaller scale, a bed and breakfast is the perfect place for Cynthia to open that stays with her love for lodging but without the large hotel chain group of people. A bed a breakfast is usually a smaller place with roughly 10 rooms to rent out as if you were staying in a hotel.
