Answer:

What the investors will do depends on whether the actual return will be higher, lower or the same as the required return (Opportunity cost of capital) .

The Actual return can be calculated using the Holding Period Return which is;

= (Earnings(Dividends) + (Ending Stock Price - Beginning Stock Price))/Beginning Stock Price

= (2 + (52 - 50))/50

= 4/50

= 8%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital can be calculated using CAPM.

= Risk Free Rate + beta(Market Premium)

= 4% + 0.75(7%)

= 9.25%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital is greater than the Actual Return from the stock so the stock is a bad buy.

Investors will not invest.

Nike becomes very unpopular. What happens to demand for Reebok?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A. The D-curve shifts to the right

Explanation:

Nike and Reebok are supplement goods. It means customers can use either of two brands of shoes with almost equal satisfaction.  A change of preferences by customers will influence the demand for supplement goods.

If Nike becomes unpopular, the demand for Reebok will increase. Because the increase in demand is not due to price changes, the demand curve will shift to the right. A shift in the demand curve means that the quantity demanded increases at all prices.

Starbucks' capital structure has been restructured from a primarily equity-financed company to a primarily debt-financed company
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Starbucks

Starbucks' Capital Structure

Restructured from a primarily equity-financed company to a primarily debt-financed company:

A. Yes.

Explanation:

Starbucks' assets are more than 60% financed by long-term debts, with less than 40% financed by equity.  The advantage of having a higher debt leverage is to optimize the returns to the stockholders.  This is because interest expenses arising from the debts are tax-deductible.  The ROE (return on equity) is always higher for a debt-leveraged firm than an equity-financed firm because more of the net income will be available for distribution to stockholders, given the tax benefits of having more debts.
