False, the reason the prices raise is because of high demand. If people want a product they will buy it at a higher price.
Answer:
WACC= 17.95%
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
It is calculated using the formula below:
WACC = (We×Ke) + (Wd×Kd)
Ke-cost of equity- 22%
We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%
Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%
Wd- 45%
After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%
Cost of equity = 22%
WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%
WACC= 17.95%
Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
Since the beta of this portfolio is 1, it means that it is perfectly synced with the market rate of return. We are told that the market rate of return is 7.5%, so that means that the expected rate of return of the portfolio should also be equal to 7.5%.
Beta measures the volatility of the portfolio or the stocks in relation to the market. If the stock is less volatile, the beta will be less than 1, if the stock is more volatile, the beta will be more than 1.
