<span>The company has issued only 510,000 shares out of authorized 600,000 common stocks. As we know that dividend is paid only on issued shared, and treasury stocks do not get any dividend.
So the total amount of dividend that will be paid = 0.65 * 510,000 = $331,500</span>
Answer:
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 8%
Return on market portfolio (Rm) = 15%
Beta (β) = 1.2
Ke = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(15 - 8)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(7)
Ke = 8 + 8.4
Ke = 16.40%
Earnings per share (EPS) = $10
Current dividend paid (Do) = 40% x $10 = $4
Retention rate (b) = &6/$10 x 100 = 60% = 0.6
ROE (r) = 20% = 0.2
Growth rate (g) = b x r
= 0.6 x 0.2
= 0.12 = 12%
Current market price (Po)
= Do<u>(1 + g) </u>
Ke - g
= $4<u>(1 + 0.12)</u>
0.1640 - 0.12
= $4<u>(1.12)</u>
0.044
= $101.82
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to calculate the cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model. Then, we will determine the growth rate, which is a function of retention rate (b) and return on equity(r).
Finally, we will calculate the current market price, which is dividend paid, subject to growth, divided by the excess of cost of equity over growth rate.
Answer:
Ease of entry into the market
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.
In the long run, perfect competition make zero economic profit because if firms are making economic profits in the short run , new firms would enter into the industry in the long run. This is made possible because of the ease of entry into the market.

Answer:
$22,175.40
Explanation:
For this question, we use the Future value formula that is shown on the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $0
Rate of interest = 7%
NPER = 10 years
PMT = $1,500
The formula is shown below:
= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after solving this, the future value is $22,175.40
Therefore, the amount at the end of the year is $22,175.40

Issue of an IPO:
Net proceeds for the issuer is $82 million, if all the 4 million shares are bought by investors.
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
The spread is $4.5 (18% of $25) per share, since average selling price is $25.
Therefore, the net proceed per share is $20.50 ($25 - 4.50).
And the Total Net Proceeds = $82 million ($20.50 * 4 million), assuming that all four million shares were bought by the public.
Note that the question did not provide the necessary information to make the final decision.
b) During the issue of securities, especially an IPO, underwriters, such as investment banks, pay an issuing company for the securities and then sell the securities to the public. There is always a difference per share price that they are willing to pay the issuer and what they will collect from the investing public. That difference is called the underwriting spread or simply the spread.
c) Best-Efforts Basis: According to investopedia.com, underwriting on best-effort basis is "an agreement between an underwriter and an issuer in which the underwriter agrees to place as much of an offering with investors as possible, but is not responsible for any portion of the offering it fails to sell."
