National Home Rentals has a beta of 1.06, a stock price of $17, and recently paid an annual dividend of $.92 a share. The divide

ANEK [815]

Answer:

9.6845%

Explanation:

Market risk premium = Market return - Risk free rate

7.3 = 11.2 - Risk free rate

Risk free rate = 3.9%

(1) Use CAPM:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium

= 3.9% + 1.06(7.3)

= 11.638%

(2) Use DDM :

Stock price = [Latest dividend × (1 + dividend growth rate)] ÷ (Cost of equity-dividend growth rate)

$17 = [0.92 (1 + 0.022)] ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.022)

Cost of equity = 7.731%

Cost of equity = average value from using DDM and CAPM

Cost of equity = 0.5 (7.731 + 11.638)

= 9.6845%

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Skylark Enterprises

The cost recovery is $___41,024___, and the adjusted basis for the building is $__358,976___

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of retail store acquired = $500,000

Property acquisition date = June 1, 2016

Property disposal date = June 21, 2020

Length of use of property before disposal = 4 years and 21 days

Cost allocated to Land = $100,000

Cost allocated to Building = $400,000

Annual Depreciation expense = $10,256 ($400,000/39)

Cost recovery after 4 years = $41,024 ($10,256 * 4)

Adjusted basis for the building = $358,976 ($400,000 - $41,024)

b) The adjusted basis for the building is the cost of the building minus its accumulated depreciation for the number of years it has been in use.

Company X wants to borrow $10,000,000 floating for 5 years. Company Y wants to borrow $10,000,000 fixed for 5 years. Their exter

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer is:

10% fixed rate = Company X's external borrowing (rate);

11.8% fixed rate = Company Y's payment to X (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company X's payment to Y (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company Y's external borrowing rate.

Explanation:

First, X will borrow at 10% fixed and Y will borrow at LIBOR + 1.5% floating; both at notational principal of $10 million.

Then; they will enter into a interest swap where:

- X will pay to the swap the interest rate of Libor +1.5% and receive from the swap the fixed interest rate of 11.8%. Thus, X interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at fixed 10% and payment at Libor+1.5% to the swap; Receipt of 11.8% from the Swap=> Net effect: X borrowed at LIBOR - 0.3% ( saving of 0.3%).

- Y will pay to the swap the fixed interest rate 11.8% and receive from the swap LIBOR +1.5%. Thus, Y interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at LIBOR +1.5 and payment 11.8% fixed to the swap; Receipt of Libor + 1.5% from Bthe Swap=> Net effect: Y borrowed at 11.8% fixed ( saving of 0.2%).
