Answer: Current Price $26.65

Explanation:

Rate of return = 12.5%

dividends = $1.98

Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28

Current price = Pc

R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa

0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc

28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

- 1.125Pc = -29.98

 Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

 Pc = $ 26.65

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The WACC before bond issuance is 3.9% and the WACC after bond issuance is 3.71%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the WACC before bond issuance , we would have to calculate first the cost of equity  using capital asset pricing model .

So Using CAPM we have Rf + Beta x Market risk premium

= 0.5% + 0.85 * 4%

= 3.9% . cost of equity

Therefore WACC before bond issuance = (Cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt (1-tax) x weight of debt)

= 3.9% . WACC before bond issuance will be equal to cost of equity in this case as there is no debt issue.

In order to calculate the WACC after bond issuance  we make the following calculation:

WACC after bond issuance = (Cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt (1-tax) x weight of debt)

= (3.9% x 0.9) + (2% x 0.1)

= 3.51% + 0.2%

= 3.71%

a_sh-v [17]
 I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.

Which of the following will require a recalculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for all years presented?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct option is A, stock dividends and stock splits

Explanation:

Stock dividends refers to paying dividends by issuing more shares to shareholders instead of paying in cash which may  be required to fund investment projects,since it increases the number of shares overall, it requires  re-computation of weighted average number of shares.

Stock splits means splitting the current number of shares into multiples in order to reduce the price per share making it affordable to investors,hence the number of weighted average shares is also impacted.
