Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%

Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses​ $1,000,000 in savings to purchase​ land, he rents equipment for ​$1
mina [271]

Answer:

-$475,000

Explanation:

Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price

                       = 100,000 × $3

                       = $300,000

Explicit cost:

= Rent equipment + wages

= $100,000 + $100,000

= $200,000

Implicit cost:

= Land × Interest + salesman earned

=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000

= $575,000

Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost

                = $200,000 + $575,000

                = $775,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost

                           = $300,000 - $775,000

                           = -$475,000

The only way to decrease your lifestyle budget is by completely eliminating an item.
N76 [4]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.

The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.

A lifestyle can be defined as the way and manner an individual chooses to live his or her life. Similarly, a lifestyle budget comprises the cost of goods and services an individual has chosen to spend his or her money on.

Basically, completely eliminating an item isn't the only way to decrease a lifestyle budget because there could be similar items that even cost way more than the eliminated item.

Some of the benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
