Answer:

a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 12%

b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not​ change, what is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 18%

ii. If the risk of the debt​ increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part ​(i​)?

  • If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.

Explanation:

common stock $200 million

total debt $100 million

required rate of return 15%

cost of debt 6%

current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million

if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12

if instead new debt is issued at 6%:

equity 150 million, debt 150 million

cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million

remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million

ROI = 27/150 = 18%

quantity demanded

quantity demanded

Explanation:

Please find attached the data needed to answer this question

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded of a consumer. It can be seen that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

A work center uses kanban containers that hold 200 parts. To produce enough parts to fill a container, 60 minutes of setup plus
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

9 containers

Explanation:

Data given

Container holds (capacity) = 200 units

Demand rate per minute = 10 units

The computation of number of containers needed is shown below:-

Time to fill container = Setup time + Processing time

= 60 + 120

= 180 minutes

Number of containers (n) = (Demand × Time to fill container) ÷ Capacity of the container

= (10 × 180) ÷ 200

= 1,800 ÷ 200

= 9 containers

Therefore for computing the number of containers we simply applied the above formula.

Jake considers himself to be a follower of Thomas Malthus. Which of the following statements would Jake be most likely to make?
Ber [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.

In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.
