Answer:
One of my most passionate belief is "Fail Better". This is the belief which I developed since childhood, my family kept on saying this me when I was just 10 years old. Since then, It has been deeply rooted and firmly suited in my mind. It has influenced me from my childhood, I never felt hesitated in taking risks, trying new ideas, things and adventures in my whole life. This has definitely impacted the way I think, behave and communicate with others. This belief was then further been transformed and translated into "Fall seven times, Get up eight". I have followed these rules very strongly in my whole life. I have started many small businesses when I was in college, almost I failed in them but I learnt so many things which none could have taught me.
To predict the total costs for 3,000 birdcages:
Use the average cost per unit of $18.00 and multiply it by 3,000.
($18)(3,000)= $54,000
$54,000 is the predicted total costs of 3,000 birdcages.
Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %
