Answer:

Cost of external equity= 26.9%

Explanation

<em>According to the dividend valuation, the value of a stock is the present value of expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.</em>

The model can me modified to determined the cost of equity having flotation cost as follows:

Ke = D(1+r )/P(1-f) + g

Ke= Cost of equity

D- current dividend,

D(1+g) - dividend next year

p- price of stock - 31,00$

f - flotation cost - 14%

g- growth rate - 7%

Ke= 5.30/31× (1-0.14)  +  0.07

 = 0.2687997  × 100

= 26.9%

anastassius [24]
<span>1) failing to make a required interest payment on time. I chose this as the least significant because you can always make up a late payment and then its not really a huge deal. It could hurt your credit score but it is not a life or death situation. 2) defaulting on a principal payment on debt. This is a little worse because at this point you cant cant even pay the debt and now your falling a little worse into debt but you can still get out. 3) restructuring debt. This is worse because you already have obtained a lot of debt but you are getting the chance to restructure it to help pay it off you even though your in a bad spot you still have a chance to get out. 4) filing for bankruptcy. At this point you are bankrupt you really don't have a lot of options left and you are kind of at the point of no return unless you can get a hold of a lot of cash really fast. 5) liquidating a firm. At this point you have to sell all of your assets in order to pay of your debt. You will be left with nothing left you may even have to sell you house all your jewelry basically everything that you own that has some value that can be sold.</span>

To the extent that employers conduct a social media background check on job candidates, best practices are all of the following
Grace [21]

Answer:

Limit access to private information by friending someone

Explanation:

When conducting recruitment of an individual employers sometimes do background checks on the person's social media information.

There however needs to be consideration of the person's privacy in doing this.

There should be use of only publicly available information, background check can be done by a third party that is not making hiring decision, and do not request username and password for social media platforms.

It is not best practice to befriend a person on social media in order to obtain their private information.
