Answer:

The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251

Explanation:

Hamada's equation  is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.

The Hamada equation:

Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))

Bl = 1.4

wd = 0.36

Tax rate = 35%

D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%

= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))

=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)

=1.4/1.36

= 1.0251

Future Value At age 20 you invest $1,000 that earns 7 percent each year. At age 30 you invest $1,000 that earns 10 percent per y
agasfer [191]

Answer:

In the case of age 30, there will be more money at the age of 60

Explanation:

When person start investing at the age of 20 then total year till 60 years age is  = 40 years.

Interest rate (r ) = 7 percent or 0.07.

Investment amount (Present value) = $1000

Now the total amount at the age of 60 years is calculated below.

Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.07 ) ^{40}\\= 14974.4578 \ dollars

Now calculate the total amount at the age of 60 years when he invest at the age of 30 and earns interest rate 10 percent. Now the number of years is 30.

Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.1 ) ^{30}\\= 17449.4023 \ dollars

In an open-market operation, the Fed buys $10 million of government bonds from individual investors. If the required reserve rat
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

$100 million ; $10 million

Explanation:

Required reserve ratio (r) = 10%

Worth of bond = $10,000,000

The smallest increase can be thought of as being the $10million generated from open market operation and could be held by the bank as reserve.

To calculate the largest increase in deposit:

Money multiplier * deposit (worth of bond)

Money multiplier = (1 / reserve ratio)

Money multiplier = (1 / 0.1) = 10

Increase in deposit = 10 * $10,000,000 = $100,000,000 ( $100 million)

Flura [38]

Answer:

36%

Explanation:

For the computation of the company's return on equity first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Step 1

Earnings before tax = EBIT - Interest

= $452,000 - $152,000

= $300,000

Step 2

Earnings after interest and taxes = Earnings before tax - Tax

= $300,000 - ($300,000 × 40%)

= $300,000 - $120,000

= $180,000

Step 3

Asset turnover ratio = Total revenue ÷ Total assets

3.6 = $4,000,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $1,111,111.11

Step 4

Equity ratio = 1 - Debt ratio

= 1 - 0.55

= 0.45

Step 5

Total Equity = Equity ratio × Total assets

= 0.45 × $1,111,111.11

= $500,000

and finally

Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Equity

= $180,000 ÷ $500,000

= 0.36

or

= 36%
