I believe there are fewer opportunities for differentiation in nature industries because the trend toward commodization married the scope for differentiation and reduced customer willingness to pay.
hope this helps!
Answer:
The annual interest rate charged would be 8%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate which is charged by the parents for the loan is computed as:
Interest rate = (Amount repaid for loan - Lent amount by parents) /Lent amount by parents × 100
where
Lent amount by parents is $400
Amount repaid for loan is $432
Putting the values above:
Interest rate = ($432 - $400) / $400 × 100
Interest rate = $32/ $400 × 100
Interest rate = 0.08 × 100
Interest rate = 8%
Answer:
$
Market value of common stocks (6,000 x $25) = 150,000
Market value of preferred stocks (9,000 x $20) = 180,000
Market value of the company 330,000
Proceeds allocated to common stocks
= $150,000/$330,000 x $312,000
= $141,818
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
The market value of the company is the aggregate of market value of common stocks and market value of preferred stocks.The market value of each stock is equal to number of each stock outstanding multiplied by market price per share. Thus, the proceeds allocated to common stock equals the market value of equity divided by market value of the company multiplied by the lump sum.
Answer:
A. 12.1%
B. 8.9%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity
Using this formula
New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]
Let plug in the formula
New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]
New cost of equity=0.121*100
New cost of equity=12.1%
Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%
b. Calculation for What is its new WACC
Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost
Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605
Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285
WACC =0.089*100
WACC =8.9%
(0.0605+0.0285)
Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%
Money supply = Currency in circulation + Checkable deposits.=600 + 900 = 1500 Billion
Current deposit ratio = Currency in Circulation/ Checkable deposits. = 600/900 = .667
Excessive reserve ratio = Excess Reserves/Checkable deposits.= 15/900 = .0167
Money multiplier = (1 + C)/(rr + ER + C)= (1 + .667)/ (.0278 + .0167 + .667) = 2.343
