Brut [27]

Explanation:

$\text { Dividend, } \mathrm{D}= 4 \\\text { Dividend yield rate }=\mathrm{D} / \text { Current price }=8 % \\\text { Current price }, \mathrm{P} 0=\mathrm{D} / 8 \%=\$ 4 / 8 \%=$ 50$

$\text { Flotation cost, } \mathrm{F}=8 \% \text { of current price }=\$ 50 * 8 \%=\$ 4 \\
\text { Growth rate,g }=4 % \\
\text { Cost of new common stock, } \mathrm{Ke}=[\mathrm{D} 1 /(\mathrm{P} 0-\mathrm{F})]+\mathrm{g} \\ =[\$ 4 /(\$ 50-\$ 4)]+4 \% \\
=0.086956522+0.04 \\

Parking spaces in multiunit buildings, water rights, and similar things of value that convey with property are classified as Appurtenances.

<h3>What Is Appurtenance?</h3>

In real estate, an appurtenance is something that is installed in or sits on a property. It is something that is considered a part of the property, is sold with the property, and it is passed on to the new owners.

When we talk about appurtenances we are often talking about things that run with the land. Appurtenance originates from the word 'appertain,' which means to relate to, be appropriate, or applicable.

Before defining appurtenance,

<h3>What is Real Property ?</h3>

In real estate, real property is defined as immovable or fixed property, any property attached to the land and even the land itself. This also includes permanent fixtures within the property, that are not personal property and easily moved.

Some common examples:

Exterior buildings (e.g., barn, shed)
a fence.
Inground pools.
hot water heater.
Ceiling fans.
Window blinds (if installed).
Fixtures (excluding trade fixtures).
Cabinetry.
Furnace.
Existing crops.
Oil or mineral rights.
A shared driveway (with attached easement appurtenant).
a tree.
Water rights (given to an adjoining property).
in-ground swimming pools.
Easements.

Appurtenances are important to understand as they can have an effect on landlord and tenant relations as well as that between buyer and seller.

Managers should act in shareholders' interests because shareholders have ___________ priority in receiving their claims.A. TopB.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Regarding to Claim to income, the correct answer would be C-Bottom

Explanation:

Shareholders can be preferred or common and they have differents claims to income. Generally, preferred stock will be given preference in assets to common assets in case of company liquidation, nonetheless both will fall behind bondholders if asset distribution happen. If bankruptcy happen, common stock investors will receive any remaining funds after bondholders, then creditors and preferred stockholders are paid. That's why these investors often receive nothing after a bankruptcy. Preferred stock also has the first right to receive dividends. In general, common stock shareholders will not receive dividends until it is paid out to preferred shareholders, and that happen because they are at the bottom of the pyramid.

The Corner Bakery has a bond issue outstanding that matures in 7 years. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Currently, the bon

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value 100

price 101,4

years 7 years

Coupon 9%

Coupon 4,5% semi-annually

tax 30%

Per Cash Flow After Tax

0 101,4 101,4

1 -4,5 -3,15

2 -4,5 -3,15

3 -4,5 -3,15

4 -4,5 -3,15

5 -4,5 -3,15

6 -4,5 -3,15

7 -4,5 -3,15

8 -4,5 -3,15

9 -4,5 -3,15

10 -4,5 -3,15

11 -4,5 -3,15

12 -4,5 -3,15

13 -4,5 -3,15

14 -104,5 -73,15

Cost of Debt 1,04% semi-annually

Cost of Debt 2,09% annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

$Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5$

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

$After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\$

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

$EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209$

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.
