Answer:

Beta = 2

New required rate of return = 16.50%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

12.50% = 3% + Beta × 4.75%

12.50% - 3% = Beta × 4.75%

So, the beta would be 2

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium

Now the required rate of return would be

= 3% + 2 × 6.75%

= 3% + 13.50%

= 16.50%

At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

6.53%      

Explanation:

For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050.76

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100

NPER = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying this above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)

= 6.53%

Which concept do businesses use to earn income?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Businesses use three types of profit to examine different areas of their companies.

1. Gross profit subtracts variable costs to revenue for each product line. Variable costs are only those needed to produce each product, like assembly workers, materials, and fuel. It doesn't include fixed costs, like plants, equipment, and the human resources department. Companies compare product lines to see which is most profitable.

2. Operating profit includes both variable and fixed costs. Since it doesn't include certain financial costs, it's also commonly called EBITA. That stands for Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization. It's the most commonly used, especially for service companies that don't have products.

3. Net profit includes all costs. It's the most accurate representation of how much money the business is making. On the other hand, it may be misleading. For example, if the company generates a lot of cash, and it's invested in a rising stock market, it may look like it's doing well. But it might just have a good finance department, and not be making money on its core products.
