Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that there is a liability to creditors of 6,500
Total assets = Total liability + Shareholder's equity
a) Shareholder's equity = Total assets - Total liability = 10,250 - 6,500 = 3,750
b) Shareholder's equity = Total assets - Total liability = 5,900 - 6,500 = -600
Answer:
The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251
Explanation:
Hamada's equation is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.
The Hamada equation:
Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))
Bl = 1.4
wd = 0.36
Tax rate = 35%
D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%
= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))
=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)
=1.4/1.36
= 1.0251

Answer:
Sustainable Growth Rate: 2.5%
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is calculated by multiplying return on equity with retention ratio.
Logic behind above is that whatever portion of net profit is retained by the Company, is used in the Company's operations, which earns certain percentage of equity known as return on equity. By multiplying both return on equity with retention ratio, we assume that the practice will continue for foreseeable future and the Company will continue to grow at the calculated growth rate.
Growth rate = Retention ratio * return on equity
Retention ratio = 50%
Return on equity = Net profit available for distribution / Opening equity
Return on Equity = (25,000 * 10%) / 50,000
Return on Equity = 5%
Growth Rate = 5% * 50%
Growth Rate = 2.5%
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Arbitrage refers to buying and selling stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies, or any other type of security. This process is carried out simultaneously, and a profit is made when the purchase price is lower than the selling price. E.g. a trader that purchases gold from a European seller and immediately sells it to an Asian buyer at a slightly higher price.
As technology advances, arbitrage has become more difficult to carry out because information is available to everyone. Before, a company could purchase a good (e.g. beef) in Texas and sell it at a higher price to a buyer in New York.
