Answer:
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
Explanation:
Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2
Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta
= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)
= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2
= 0.049 + 0.072
= 0.1210
= 12.10%
Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate
= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%
= 0.039 + 0.08
= 0.1190
= 11.90%
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2
= 24% / 2
= 12%
Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
Answer:
A. $150
Explanation:
Amount of car = $25,000
Initial payment = $2,500
If the family takes out a loan for the rest, the amount taken as loan
= $25,000-$2,500
= $22,500
If interest of 8% is charged on the loan for 5years, the interest charged for the 5years can be gotten using simple interest formula:
Simple interest = principal × rate × time/100
Simple interest = $22,500×8×5/100
Simple interest = $9,000
If total interest paid for 5years = $9,000
The family monthly payment will be:
= $9000/5×12 (since there are 12months in a year)
= $9,000/60
= $150
<span>North america is about 80% urbanized. this mean that about 75% of north american people live in cities. also the population is very less compared to the land area. May be people would prefer to live in urban areas rather living in rural or forest areas. this condition is helpful in preserving forest and natural resources. the only problem is the quality of living in urban areas will be poor compared to rural areas.</span>
