Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%

The foreign exchange market is a market for converting the currency of one country into that of another country.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The foreign exchange market is a market for converting the currency of one country into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.

The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis that states that asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market.

Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.

Why don't most tax expenditures help much if your federal tax bill is zero? You don't qualify for tax breaks if your federal tax
MakcuM [25]

Answer: Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.

Explanation:

Tax breaks can be used to reduce your taxable income sometimes all the way to zero. This however simply means that you don't have to pay income tax but does not mean that there won't be other taxes to pay.

Because of these additional taxes left to pay, a person will still pay certain taxes even if their taxable income is below zero. Tax expenditures therefore do not help much with a federal tax bill of zero.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A supply shock is an unpredictable incident that changes the supply of a product or a service, subsequent in an unexpected modification in its value. Supply shocks can be undesirable (decreased supply) or optimistic (increased supply)

(a) The two types of shock which are:  

  • Primarily the growth in oil values is a negative supply shock causing from a decline in supply of oil  
  • The reduction in oil charges is a Positive supply shock causing from a growth in supply of oil.

(b) If the charges of oil increases as in case (i) that will push companies’ prices and thus decrease SRAS. The new equilibrium will be established at a inferior level of output and higher charge level. This is reflected in the diagram attached.

In the case (ii), the opposed of this will occur. The SRAS will rise shifting the SRAS rightward and carry about a new equilibrium at upper level of output and lesser prices.
