Answer:
The projects which maximize Vanguard's shareholder wealth are Project A; Project B; Project D.
Explanation:
Projects which maximize the shareholder value are projects delivering Expected Returns which are higher than its risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
As a result, Project A with Expected return of 15% and risk adjusted WACC of 12%; Project B with Expected return of 12% and risk adjusted WACC of 10%; Project D with Expected return of 9% and risk adjusted WACC of 8%; are the projects that maximize the shareholder's value.
On the other hand, Project C with Expected return of 11% and risk adjusted WACC of 12% is harmful to shareholder value.
Answer:
The answer is 16 years.
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by:
Where:
is the number of years the investment is compounded,
is the annual interest rate,
is the principal investment.
We know the following:
And we want to clear the value <em>n</em> from the equation.
The problem can be resolved as follows.
<u>First step:</u> divide each member of the equation by 
:
<u>Second step:</u> apply logarithms to both members of the equation:
<u>Third step:</u> apply the logarithmic property 
in the second member of the equation:
Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by 
We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.
Answer:
$4,522
Explanation:
As the restaurant is not acquired so the amount of $28,000 would be non-deductible
Also if the expenses is incurred so the maximum deduction allowed is in excess of $50,000 is $5,000
Now
= $51,000 - $50,000
= $1,000 reduction
And,
= $5,000 - $1,000
= $4,000 deduction
Now
= $51,000 - $4,000
= $47,000
Now
= $47,000 ÷ 180 months
= $261 × 2 months
= 522
Now total deduction is
= $4,000 + $522
= $4,522
Answer: there will be too much pollution
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that government officials have set an emissions tax to reduce pollution and that the optimal tax should have been $1,500 but government officials have set the tax equal to $500.
It should be noted that due to the fact that the optimal tax has been set below the equilibrium, this will lead to a rise in pollution as the people will be aware that they're paying less than the optimal level which will lead to more pollution. An increase in the optimal tax will have help in reducing the pollution.
Answer:
-21%
Explanation:
Initial share price = $50
Share price after 1 year = $46
net return = (200 x $46) - $10,000 - ($5,000 x 5%) = $9,200 - $10,000 - $250 = -$1,050
rate of return of margined position = -$1,050 / $5,000 = -0.21 = -21%
when you operate on the margin, your earnings can increase or decrease dramatically. In this case, an 8% price decrease resulted in a 215 lose.
