Answer:

10.03%

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount formula, find the cost of equity; r

r = \frac{D1}{P0} +g

whereby,

D1 = Next year's dividend = 5.29

P0 = Current price of the stock = 79.83

g = growth rate of dividends = 3.40% or 0.034 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above;

r = \frac{5.29}{79.83} +0.034\\ \\ r =0.06627 + 0.034\\ \\ =0.10027

As a percentage, r = 10.03%

Therefore, the company's cost of equity is 10.03%

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold is = $697213.44

Explanation:

given data

depreciation expenses = $28,900

sales = $755,000

retained earnings = $10,200

paid interest = $6,200

dividends = $5,000

tax rate = 33 percent

solution

first we get here EBIT that is express as here

EBIT =  Earnings for equity holders + Tax + Interest    ...............1

Earnings for equity holders = Dividend Paid + retained earnings

Earnings for equity holders = $5,000 + $10,200 = $15200

here Tax is = \frac{15200}{67} × 33 = 7486.56

so here EBIT  = $15200 + $7486.56 + $6,200

EBIT  = $28886.56

so Cost of Goods Sold is = sales - depreciation -  EBIT   ..................2

Cost of Goods Sold is = $755,000 - $28,900 - $28886.56

Cost of Goods Sold is = $697213.44

Amount to be borrowed= 150 shares*$60 per shares *(1-0.71)

Amount to be borrowed=$9,000*(0.29)

Amount to be borrowed=$2,610

Therefore how much money you must borrow will be $2,610
