Answer:

It is capital deepening (D)

Explanation:

Capital deepening typically represents an increase in the capital-labor ratio. This arises when there is infusion of additional capital(e.g technological improvement) into the production processes while work force is either kept constant or cut-down and thereby makes labor to be more productive.

Hence, as the capital-labor ratio increases, the marginal product of labor, i.e. the amount of product that can be produced by supplying one more unit of labor, increases because there are now more units of capital per worker.

A company incurs advertising costs of $10,000. The company's three selling departments have the following sales: Department 1—$1

erik [133]

Answer:

The amount of advertising allocated to:

Department 1: $1,250

Department 2: $3,750

Department 3: $5,000

Explanation:

Total sales of the company = Sales of Department 1 + Sales of Department 2 + Sales of Department 3 = $10,000 + $30,000 + $40,000 = $80,000

Percent of sales of three selling departments:

Department 1 = ($10,000/$80,000)x100% = 12.5%

Department 2 = ($30,000/$80,000)x100% = 37.5%

Department 3 = ($40,000/$80,000)x100% = 50%

Advertising is allocated based on percent of sales. The amount of advertising allocated to:

Department 1 = 12.5% x $10,000 = $1,250

Department 2 = 37.5% x $10,000 = $3,750

Department 3 = 50% x $10,000 = $5,000

Adams and Collin Enterprises expect earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after the growth rate

ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

$Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)$

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

$Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)$

Ke = 0.09600

Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model

with multi-stage growth:

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0 1.25

1 0.25 1.5625

2 0.25 1.953125

3 0.25 2.44140625

4 0.25 3.051757813

4 0.03 3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

$\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value$

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic value ofthe share:

$\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1 = 1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

Finally we add them and get:

42.97160726

What is the difference between wacc and marginal cost of capital?

kvv77 [185]

Marginal Cost of Capital may involve less calculation than WACC, however marginal cost may be calculated by incorporating tax rates, overhead, insurance or any other cost associated with acquiring the particular capital.

If the nominal interest rate is 4.7% and the inflation rate is 3.4%, what is the real interest rate?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

1.3%

Explanation:

The real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from the nominal interest rate.

real interest rate=nominal interest rate-inflation rate

nominal interest rate=4.7%

inflation rate= 3.4%

real interest rate=4.7%-3.4%

real interest rate=1.3%

According to this, the answer is that the real interest rate is 1.3%.
