Answer:

3.5%

Explanation:

We will apply asset pricing model to calculate cost of equity (required rate of return). The capital asset pricing model is stated as below:

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + Beta x Market risk premium

Putting all the number together, we have:                          

Cost of equity (Beale) = 5.5% + 1.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 11.8%

Cost of equity (Foley) = 5.5% + 0.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 8.3%

Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = 11.8% - 8.3% = 3.5%

<em />

<em>Note: You can also do quick calculation as below:</em>

<em>Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = (Beta of Beale - Bete of Foley) x Market risk premium = (1.8 - 0.8) x (9% - 5.5%) = 3.5%</em>

Which of the factors listed below contribute to the market value of a going concern? intangible assets market value of assets va
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

intangible assets

market value of assets

extra earning power

Explanation:

As an accounting principle, going concern value means the value of a business or its assets considering that the business will continue to operate in the reasonable future. This is the opposite to the value assigned to assets or businesses that are being discarded or liquidated.

When you are trying to valuate a company, you have to consider the fair market value of its assets, its intangible assets, and its earning power (its ability to make higher than average profits).

The past share price is not useful in determining the present of the company and the value of future investments cannot be included until the investments are carried out.

A new company manufactures tennis rackets. The fixed expenses are $78,490 and the variable expenses are $14 per racket produced.
fomenos

The solution for the problem follows:

 

Expense = variable expenses * quantity of produced + fixed expenses

= 14q + 78,490

= 14 (3500) + 78, 490

= 49000 + 78,490

= $127, 490 is the total expense for 3,500 tennis rackets

 

Get the per piece expense by dividing 127,490 to 3500

Expense per piece = 127,490 / 3500

= $36.43
