Uber plans to sell shares of common stock to raise capital funds. They estimate that each share of common stock will sell for $1

sergey [27]

Answer:

18.11%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Selling price = $181

Fees charged = 4% = 0.04

Face value = $181 per share

Dividend paid each year = 10% = 0.10

Annual growth rate = 7% = 0.07

Now,

Uber's cost of capital of this common stock

= [ D1 ÷ (Face value - D1)] + Growth rate

= [ ( $181 × 0.1) ÷ ($181 - 181 × 0.1)] + 0.07

= [ 18.1 ÷ 162.9 ] + 0.07

= 0.1811

= 0.1811 × 100% = 18.11%

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $20,000

Unitary variable cost= $17

Selling price= $28 per unit.

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 20,000 / (28 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 1,818 units

<u>Now, the profit for 1,500 units:</u>

Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500
