Faris currently has a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity, but is considering a new product that will be

produced and marketed by a separate division. The new division will have a capital structure of 70 percent debt and 30 percent equity. Faris has a current beta of 1.1 but is not sure what the beta for the new division will be. AMX is a firm that produces a product similar to the product under consideration by Faris. AMX has a beta of 1.6, a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity, and a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. Assuming Faris's tax rate is 40 percent, estimate the levered beta for the new product division.

Answer:

Levered beta = Unlevered beta x  (1  + (1 - T)D/E

Levered beta  = 1.6 x  (1 + (1 - 0.4)70/30

Levered beta = 1.6  x  (1  +  0.6)70/30

Levered beta = 1.6 x (1.06)70/30

Levered beta = 3.96

Explanation:

Levered beta is also known as equity beta. It is calculated as unlevered beta multiplied by 1 + (1 - Tax rate) multiplied by debt-equity ratio of the division.

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

Astor Manufacturing stores hazardous and volatile chemicals in its warehouse. The warehouse has state-of-the-art equipment to ma
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

C. strictly liable for Will's injuries

Explanation:

In law, Strict liability is a situation when defendant is required to be responsible to a certain situation, but can't be considered as guilty to any violation.

There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:

1.  Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.

2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.

The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster.  This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.

But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.
