Answer:

The discount rate for this project is 5%.

Explanation:

The discount rate for the new project will be the required rate of return or the cost of equity that will be used to discount the cash flows from the project to calculate its Net present value. Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) as:

r = rRF + beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • beta is the stock's beta or measure of risk
  • rpM is the market risk premium

r = 2% + 0.5 * 6% = 0.05 or 5%

Gilmore, Inc., had equity of $145,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $210
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a). Internal growth rate of the company=12.02%

b). Internal growth rate for beginning of period assets=14.71%

c). Internal growth rate for end of period total assets=10.16%

Explanation:

a). The internal growth rate of the company can be expressed as shown;

IGR=ROA×DR

where;

IGR=internal growth rate

ROA=return on asset=Net income/Total average assets

DR=dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)

In our case;

Return on asset=Net income/total average assets

Net income=$27,000

Total average assets=(Assets at the beginning of the year+assets at the end of the year)/2

Total average assets=(145,000+210,000)/2=$177,500

Return on asset=(27,000/177,500)×100=15.21%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=15.21%×0.79=12.0159%

Internal growth rate of the company=12.02%

b). Internal growth rate for beginning assets

Return on asset=Net income/total assets at the beginning of the year

Net income=$27,000

Total assets at the beginning of the year=145,000

Return on asset=(27,000/145,000)×100=18.62%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=18.62%×0.79=14.71%

Internal growth rate for beginning of period assets=14.71%

c). Internal growth rate for end of period total assets

Return on asset=Net income/total assets at the beginning of the year

Net income=$27,000

Total assets at the end of the year=210,000

Return on asset=(27,000/210,000)×100=12.86%

Dividend ratio=1-(dividend payment/net income)=1-(5,800/27,000)

Dividend ratio=1-0.21=0.79

Internal growth rate=return on asset×dividend ratio

Internal growth rate=12.86%×0.79=10.16%

Internal growth rate for end of period total assets=10.16%

Wanda is organizing an Employee Appreciation Day event and is soliciting vendors to provide food and drinks. There are 638 emplo
DedPeter [7]

In this case, Wanda can calculate the revenue for her Employee Appreciation Day event by using this formula:

  • revenue = [(number of employees of the company) + (½ x number of employee of the company)] x event price
  • x = [(638) + (319)] x 2
  • x = 952 x 2
  • x = $1,914

Thus, Wanda’s expected revenue is $1,914, assuming that half of the employees are married and will be attending the Employee Appreciation Day alongside their spouse.

A person invested $20,000 into two accounts that pays 2.5% and 3% simple interest annually, respectively. find the amount invest
denpristay [2]
Let:
x = amount in the account invested in 2.5%
20000 - x = amount in the account invested in 3%

Solution:
.025x + .03 (20000 - x) = 540
.025x + 600 - .03x = 540
-.005x + 600 = 540
-.005x = 540 - 600
-.005x = -60
x = 12000

Therefore, that person invests 12,000 at 2.5%
and
20,000 - 12,000 = 8,000 at 3%
