Answer:

Diversification for pooling risks

Explanation:

When a company wants to diversify it goes into various products in order to reach a larger market. This is the opposite of specialisation where the company focuses on one market or product.

When a company wants to diversify it will not be a good idea to do it because they want to pool risk.

Pooling of risk involves centralisation of process so that risk due to variability will be reduced.

Diversifying will increase risk due to variability.

Calculate the present value of the after tax net returns to land in the 7th year if thereal pre-tax net returns to land today ar
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of year = 7

Pre-tax net returns (Fn) = $100

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Inflation = 3% = 0.03

Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.3

Discount rate = 10% = 0.1

Computation:

Fn = Fo(1+g)ⁿ = 100(1.04)⁷

Fn = 131.6

Nominal net returns = 131.6(1.03)⁷

Nominal net returns = 161.85

After tax return = 161.85  (1 - 0.3)

After tax return = 113.30

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1(1-0.3) = 7%

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 113.30 (1+0.07)⁻⁷

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)

On January 2, 2009, L Co. issued at par $20,000 of 4% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of L's common stock. No bonds
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is $1.2 per share.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Interest expense of Bonds = $20,000 × 4% = $800

Now, Interest expense of Bond, After tax = $800 × ( 1 - 50%) = $800 × 0.50

= $400

So, we can calculate the diluted earning by using following formula:

Diluted Earning = (Net income + Interest expense after tax) ÷ Total outstanding shares outstanding

Where, Total outstanding shares = 1,000 shares + 1,000 shares = 2,000 shares

By putting the value, we get

Diluted earning = ($2000 + $400 ) ÷ 2,000

= $1.2 per share
