Answer:

B. Unethically exploiting their power and size in the marketplace.

Explanation:

Infringing upon a patent in this way breaks the ethical barrier. Gaggle Inc. not on builds the knock-off product but does so because they realize that Chirp Chirp does not have the financial capability to fight them. If both companies were of a similar stature Gaggle Inc. would not have done this as they would be penalized after legal proceedings.

The Investments Fund sells Class A shares with a front-end load of 5% and Class B shares with 12b-1 fees of 0.75% annually as we
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The responses to the given choices can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

Assume is the investment. Each original Class A investment is of the net-front unburden. The portfolio will be worth four years from now:  

\$1,000 \times 5\% = \$50 =\$1,000 - \$50 = \$950\\\\         \$950 (1 + 0.13)^4 = \$950 (1.13)^4 = \$950 (1.630474) = \$1,548.95\\\\  

You will place the total of \$1,000 on class B shares, but only 12b-1will be paid (13-0.75 = 12.25) at a rate of 12.25\% and you'll pay a 1\%back-end load charge if you sell for a four-year period.

After 4 years, your portfolio worth would be:      

\$1,000 (1 + 0.1225)^4 = \$1,437.66   \\\\      \$1,000 (1.1225)^4 = \$1000 (1.587616) = \$ 1,587.62  

Their portfolio worth would be: after charging the backend load fee:      

\$1,587.616 \times 0.99 = \$1,571.74   \\\\                     Amounts     \\\\     Class A \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \     1,548.95\\\\          Class B \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \     1,571.74 \\\\

When the horizon is four years, class B shares are also the best option.

Class A shares would value from a 12-year time frame:

\$950 (1.13)^{12} = \$950 (4.334523) = \$4,117.80  \\\\

In this case, no back-end load is required for Class B securities as the horizon is larger than 5 years.

Its value of the class B shares, therefore, is as follows:

\$1,000 (1.1225) 12 = \$1,000 (4.001623) = \$4,001.62 \\\\Amounts    \\\\\      Class A \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4,117.80\\\\          Class B \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   4,001.62\\\\

Class B shares aren't any longer a valid option in this, prolonged duration. Its impact on class B fees of 0.75\%\ \ 12b-1cumulates over a period and eventually outweighs the 5\% the burden of class A shareholders.

The total book value of WTC’s equity is $13 million, and book value per share is $20. The stock has a market-to-book ratio of 1.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

5.38 %

Explanation:

WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt

where,

Cost of Equity = 9.00 % (given)

After tax Cost of Debt = 6% x (1 - 0.21) = 4.74 %

Market Value of Equity = 1/5 x $13 million = $2.6 million

Weight of Equity = $2.6 million / $11.6 million = 0.22

Weight of Debt = $9 million / $11.6 million = 0.76

therefore,

WACC =  9.00 % x 0.22 + 4.74 % x 0.76

           = 5.38 %

thus

the company’s WACC is 5.38 %
