Answer:

11.14%

Explanation:

Blume's formula is used to combine both arithmetic and geometric returns. This is because using arithmetic growth rate exclusively would be overly optimistic for longer time horizons and on the other hand, using geometric growth rates exclusively would be overly pessimistic for short time horizons.

Using the attached formula, plug in the given numbers;

R(T) would be the sale growth rate we need to calculate.

R(T) = \frac{5-1}{15-1} *0.09 + \frac{15-5}{15-1} *0.12

R(T) =0.0257 + 0.0857

R(T) = 0.1114 as a decimal

Therefore, the forecast sales growth would be 11.14%

solmaris [256]

Answer: The shares are deducted rather than added

Explanation:

The adjustment to the weighted-average shares for retired shares is the same as for issuing new shares when the shares are added rather than deducted, the shares are treated as being acquired at the end of the year and the shares are treated as being acquired at the beginning of the year.

Therefore, the adjustment to the weighted-average shares for retired shares is the same as for issuing new shares except when the shares are deducted rather than added.

N industry consists of three firms with sales of $360,000, $650,000, and $265,000.
Yanka [14]

These three together form total market, so here we have to add up everything to know volume of the market

A+B+C = 1,275,000 is the total market

Then we have to calculate individual market share

which would eb 1) 28.2%, 2) 50.9%, 3) 20.8%

This can be calcualated by simple percetage calculation. ( 1275000-360000/1275000*100)-100 will give what share each has.

Then we apply HHI formula

HHI = s1^2 + s2^2 + s3^2 + ... + sn^2

HHi is nothing but squaring of each of the percentages and adding them up

(28.2)2 +(50.9)2 +(20.8)2

812+2590+432 = 3834

HHI of 3834 shows it is highly competitve market.

Company policy does not allow us to give cash refunds effectively explains why a writer's request must be refused.
4vir4ik [10]
That statement is false.

Often time, company's policy regarding refund is written in overly complicated manners so the company is protected from the potential legal attack by the consumers. So I guess this would make the informing effort became ineffective for the consumers.

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%
