Answer:
6.11%
Explanation:
For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)
= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%
= 9.30%
Now the variance would equal to the
= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.3645
For normal economy:
= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.4165
For recession:
= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2
= 5.329
So, the total variance would be
= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329
= 6.11%
Answer:
KJ Pharma Corporation
KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is:
= 4.55%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of the bond = $100
Annual coupon rate (cost of debt) = 6.5%
Maturity period of bond = 20 years
Tax rate = 30%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = 6.5 (1 - 0.3)
= 4.55%
b) KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is the interest paid on the bond less any income tax savings accounted for as deductible interest expenses. To calculate the after-tax cost of debt, KJ subtracts the company's effective tax rate from 1 and multiplies the difference by its cost of debt.
USDA actually has several stickers/labels/stamps that could have different meanings. However, the sticker most likely indicates that the chicken has passed for inspection while the grading stamp means that the poultry processor also requested to have the quality of the chicken evaluated and graded.
The USDA has separate programs for the inspection and for the grading of meet. The former is mandatory and guarantees the wholesomeness of the meat. This means that the animal from which the meat was taken from is not diseased and that the meat is clean and fit for human consumption. Inspection programs are paid for by public funds.
However, USDA also has a grading program, which is paid for by the meat processors. The grading program checks and classifies the meat according to its quality (e.g. flavor, juiciness, and tenderness). Poultry with a Grade A poultry for example is one which does not have "defects" such as feathers, discoloration and bruising.
Answer: c. a decision-making entity at a firm involved in a strategic game
Explanation:
In a theoretical game, there are two players that have to embark on different strategies such that they make the maximum payoff. This maximum payoff strategy is known as the dominant strategy.
These two players are the decision making entities in the firms that are competing in the game because they are the ones that decide how the firm should react and what strategy to use. For instance, the owners of the two bakeries down the street are the players because they control what either bakery will do.
Answer:
The answer is: C) PV of a perpetuity = StartFraction r Over Upper C EndFraction (I guess this means PV = r / C, which is FALSE)
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is:
PV = C / r
Where PV = Present Value, C = cash flow, r = discount rate.
A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that lasts forever (perpetually).
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is simple, so there is no reason to spend time calculating the present value of each cash flow, since there are infinite cash flows.
A consol bond s a type of perpetuity issued by the British government (also by the US government)
