<u>Explanation</u>:
A trade school is becoming popular this because it serves as a home to acquire technical education.
Thus anyone who wants to learn a skill having no prior experience is a best fit for trade school. A major benefit of the trade school is that it provides practical lessons to students, often times they are grouped together in peers for projects which encourages group learning.
Answer:
Task a:
The answer is $24,500.
Task b:
The answer is 17%
Explanation:
<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
We already know the following:
Projected net income = $21,000
Payout ratio = 30%
Retention ratio = 70%
Debt share = 40%
Equity share = 60%
Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×
= $21,000 × 
= $24,500
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.
<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth
Formula:
k(e) =
+ 0.05
Where
Do = $2.00
G = 0.05
P = $21/88
= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05
= 0.17 or 17%
<h3>Answer: </h3>
The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.
As for any extra unit produced
Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus
Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss
Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss
When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.
Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.
Answer:
Explanation:
- The bond has 8% coupon paid semiannually, and those bonds sell at their par value.
- Since the bond sales at par value, Market rate (Yield) = Coupon rate =8%
<u>Second bond:</u>
- Semiannual coupon amount = 1000 x 8%/2 = $40
- Time to maturity = 6 years = 12 semiannual periods
- Semiannual Yield = 8%/2 = 4%
To get price of this bond we will use PV function of excel:
= PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)
= PV (4%, 12, -40, -1000, 0)
= $1053.32
- Price of this bond = $1,053.3
