Answer:
A. An increase in the perceived profitability of Touchtech will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to rise.
B. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to decline
Explanation:
The price of the stock changes only because of the changes in the profitability of the firm. If the company is earning lower profits then the prices of the stock will fall and vice versa. So the option A is correct because increase in profitability increases the value of the shares.
So the main thing here is the profitability of the firm which is affected by the recession in the economy because during the recession period the profitability of the firm decreases and so the value of the stock decreases. So the option B is correct

Answer:
a)
Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%
b)
Tax Rate = 40%
Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%
So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%
Explanation:
Bond Par Value = 12,900,000
Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000
Years To maturity = 5.00
Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100
Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]
Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3
Year to maturity = 7.33%
