Answer:

The un levered beta ( bu) of the company is 1.52

Explanation:

Given information -

Equity  (E) - $20 million

Debt (D) - $5 million

Beta ( levered ) - 1.75

Tax rate ( T ) = 40%

D / E ( Debt to Equity ratio ) = $ 5 million / $20 million = .25

Formula for taking out un levered beta ( bu) is -

Beta levered ( bl ) = Beta un levered ( bu ) [1 + (1 - T ) D / E ]

1.75 = bu [1 + (1 - 40% ) .25

1.75 = bu [1 + .6 x .25 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1 + .15 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1.15 ]

bu = 1.75 / 1.15

bu = 1.52

Compound Interest:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Option answer:

d. Interest = $10.64 and New Balance = $360.64

Answer:

A = $360.64

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $350.00

I (interest) = $10.64

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 1.5/100

r = 0.015 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 350.00(1 + 0.015/4)(4)(2)

A = 350.00(1 + 0.00375)(8)

A = $360.64

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $350.00 at a rate of 1.5% per year compounded 4 times per year over 2 years is $360.64.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

BEP_{dollars} = 500,000

Explanation:

<u>The first step</u> will be  get the contribtuion margin:

Sales\: Revenue - Variable \:Cost = Contribution \:Margin

800,000 - 6000,000 = 200,000

This is the amount after variables cost used to pay the fixed cost and make a gain.

Second, we calcualte the contribution margin ratio

\frac{Contribution \:Margin}{Sales\: Revenue} = Contribution\: Margin\: Ratio

200,000/800,000 = 0.25

Per dollar of sales 25 cents are available to pay the fixed cost.

Now, we calculate the break even point in dollars

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution\: Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

\frac{125,000}{.025} = 500,000
