Answer:

Beta of stock A (βA) = 1.16

Beta of stock B (βB) = ?

Beta of the portfolio (βP) = 1

Weight of stock A (WA) = 50% = 0.50

Weight of stock B (WB) = 50% = 0.50

β(P) = βA(WA) + βB(WB)

1    =  1.16(0.50) + βB(0.50)

1    = 0.58 + 0.50βB

1 - 0.58 = 0.50βB

0.42 = 0.50βB

<u>0.42</u>  = βB

0.50

βB = 0.84

Explanation:

Beta of a portfolio equals beta of stock A multiplied by weight of stock A plus beta of stock B multiplied by weight of stock B. The beta of the portfolio is 1 because the portfolio is as risky as the market. Beta of stock A has been provided. The weight of stock A and stock B are 50% respectively because equal amount of fund is invested in each security.

kicyunya [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Debt = D ÷ (E + D)

= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)

= 0.4444

Now

Weight of equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.4444

= 0.5556

As per Dividend discount model

Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)

Cost of equity = 11%

Cost of debt

K = N

Let us assume the par value be $1,000

Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N

k=1

K =25

$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25

k=1

YTM = 9

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

= 9 × (1 - 0.21)

= 7.11

WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)

= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556

= 9.27%

As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: b. Set higher prices to the students as their demand is relatively more inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the change in quantity demanded to changes in price levels.

If demand is inelastic, a small change in price has a small effect on quantity demanded. An inelastic demand usually has a coefficient of less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for students and senior citizens are both inelastic but that of the students is greater than that of senior citizens. They are less responsive to price changes when compared with senior citizens.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For computing the  cost of inventorying, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

= Total costs ÷ Number of items

1. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $125 ÷ 100 items

                                     = $1.25

Total cost = $100 + $25 = $125

2. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $150 ÷ 150 items

                                     = $1

Total cost = $100 + $25 + $25 = $150

3. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $175 ÷ 160 items

                                     = $1.10

Total cost = $100 + $25 + $25 + $25 = $175

$25 is the each worker pay

To minimize the cost we required two workers as the cost of inventorying is lesser than other two.
