Answer: 10.13%
Explanation:
The after-tax return on the preferred shares would be:
= After-tax return + Premium required
= (8.8% * (1 - 25%)) + 1%
= 7.6%
For the preferred stock to be issued at par with the above after tax return:
= After tax return / ( 1 - tax)
= 7.6% ( 1 - 25%)
= 10.13%
Businesses often engage in a variety of tactics to influence government policy. This includes lobbying, political contributions, and interest group politics.
Answer:
The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to: C. 10.6%
Explanation:
In Hartong Corporation:
Increasing net income = Increase sales revenues - Cash operating expenses - Annual depreciation expense = $185,000 - $89,000 - $52,000 = $44,000
This is the net income from the equipment per year
Return on the investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:
ROI = (Net income/Cost of investment
)x 100%
Cost of investment = Cost of equipment = $416,000
ROI = ($44,000/$416,000) x 100% = 10.6%

Answer:
Hersey's bond = $1125.513
Mars bond = $1172.259
Explanation:
Hersey bond;
Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Using the both present value (PV) and compound interest formula ;
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]
PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)
PV = $1125.513
Mars bond;
Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]
PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)
PV = $1172.259
