Answer:

cost of equity is 11.60 %

Explanation:

Given data

cost of capital = 10.9 percent

tax rate = 35 percent

earnings = $21,800

bonds outstanding = $25,000

rate = 6 %

to find out

cost of equity

solution

we will find first value of unlevered

value of  unlevered  = earning ( 1 - tax rate ) / cost of capital

value of  unlevered  = 21800 ( 1 - 0.35 ) / 0.109 = $130000

so

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × bond outstanding × tax rate

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × 25000 × 35%

value of  unlevered will be for firm = $138750

so value of firm will be = bond outstanding + equity

so equity will be = 138750 - 25000

equity = $113750

so now

cost of equity will be = cost of capital + ( cost of capital - rate) (bonds / equity ) ( 1 - tax rate )

cost of equity will be = 10.9%+ ( 10.9 % - 6%) (25000 / 113750 ) ( 1-0.35)

so cost of equity = 11.60 %

laila [671]

Answer:

The given statement 'In fact,...observable' conveys the idea that <u>it is comparatively convenient and simple to calculate the amount or quantity of goods that are being produced within a firm, territory, or country to determine the economic worth directly</u>. On the other hand, estimating the amount or quantity of goods consumed by the people across a region or country is difficult and can not be observed directly. However, the latter is given more significance and determined more usually through calculating the expenditure made by the consumers depending on their choices and within their income constraints and these are the primary factors that affect the economic growth or development while the production theory lays emphasis on the maximization of profit.

An insurer sells a very large number of policies to people with the following loss distribution: $100,000 with probability 0.005
kogti [31]

Answer:

a) $2000

b)  $1,886.7925

C) $2,036.7925

Explanation:

First, the question states to determine the expected claim cost per policy

Expected Claim Cost represents the fund required to be paid by an insurer for a particular contract or a group of contracts as the case maybe. This is usually based on the policy taken.

A) Expected Claim Cost per policy

= (Policy Loss Value A x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value B x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value C x its probability)+(Policy Loss Value D x its probability)+ (Policy Loss Value E x its probability)

= ( (100000 x 0.005 )+ (60000 x 0.010) + (20000 x 0.02) + (10000 x 0.05) + 0 = $2000

Part B: discounted expected claim cost per policy

Since, the sum of $2000 is expected to be paid by the insurer by the end of the year, the interest to be earned based on the rate  (discounting used)

=$2,000 ÷ (1  + 0.06)

= $1,886.7925

Part C:: Determine the Fair Premium

Fair Premium is calculated as follows

The discounted policy claim cost + the Processing Cost per application + The fair profit loading

= $1,886.7925+ $100+50 = $2,036.7925
