What Mark is displaying is selective distortion. This term is used when individuals continue to interpret information in accordance to the belief that they are supporting.
In the example, even though the news have reported that his favorite shoe brand uses child labor to manufacture the brand’s shoes, Mark chooses to believe that the media is lying instead of accepting the report as true.
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Net income will be the difference between the selling price and the Cost price.
Cost price is $1000
net profit margin is 5%, selling price will be
=$1000 + profit margin
= $1000 + (5/100 x 1000)
=$1000 + $50
=$1050
Net income = $1050 -$50
=$50
Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent
Solution:
WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.
Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).
Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.
Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%
The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.
The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%
So you still have 60 points to go up. Every month is 3 more points. Divide 60 by 3 which will give you the number of months left before you reach your goal. 60/3= 20 months or 1 year and 8 months.
