Answer:

7.43%

Explanation:

Where the debt is publicly traded , the cost of debt is equal to the yield to maturity

Approximate yield to maturity = [coupon +(face value - market price )/ number of years to maturity ]/ [{face value + market price]/2]*100

Face value - 2000

Market price - 1905

years to maturity= 30 years

Coupon =( 6.9%*2000)/ 2 = 69

Workings

[69 + (2000-1905)/30] / [(2000+1905]/2 *100)

([69+3.17]/[(3905]/2*100)

(72.17/1952) * 100 = 3.70

Annual yield = 3.7*2= 7.4%

7.4 % being an approximate yield value , the closest option is 7.43%

Suppose that the quantity of DVD players sold increased from 200 to 400 when the price fell from $225 to $175. Over this price r
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Given information:

Q_1=200, Q_2=400

P_1=225, P_2=175

Formula for price elasticity of demand is

E_d=\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{P_2-P_1}\times \frac{P_1+P_2}{Q_1+Q_2}

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

E_d=\frac{400-200}{175-225}\times \frac{225+175}{200+400}

E_d=\frac{200}{-50}\times \frac{400}{600}

E_d=-\frac{8}{3}

E_d\approx -2.67

Absolute value is

|E_d|= |-2.67|=2.67

The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for DVD players is 2.67.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Jeff is a member of Go Big Red, LLC. Jeff decides he does not like the color red, preferring instead the colors black and gold.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Option "D" is correct.

Explanation:

Option "D" is correct because When a person or member dissociates then the person loses the right to manage, losses the right to act, ceases from their duty of loyalty, ceases from the duty of care immediately if any event occurs after dissociation and the member has the right to find their interest. Therefore, from the given options it can be seen that the duty of care remains intact when only to that event that had occurred before the dissociation.

Sonny's BBQ Company recently issued $85 par value preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of $9. Analysts estimate that the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.</em>

<em> According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.</em>

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

So will need to work out the cost of equity using CAPM

<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM)</em>: relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.4%, Rm- 12.1% β- 1.01

E(r) = 2.4% + 1.23×(12.1- 2.4)%  = 12.20 %

Cost of preferred stock= 12.20 %

Using the dividend valuation model

Intrinsic value = 9/0.1220=73.77

Intrinsic value=$73.77

What is the correct statement about regressive taxation?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

B. The sales tax you pay when you fill your car up with gas is regress

Explanation:

Gasoline tax is regressive because everyone regardless of their income level pay the same amount of tax per gallon of gas purchased. A progressive tax means that people that have higher incomes will pay a higher tax rate, for example, federal income taxes. Every flat tax (same percentage for everyone) is regressive.
