Answer:
Ans. The cost of equity capital is 6.5 (6.5%)
Explanation:
Hi, all we need to do is fill the following equation with the data from the problem.
Where:
rf = Risk free rate (in our case, 2%)
MRP = market risk premium (in our case, 6%)
r(e) = Cost of equity capital
Therefore, this is what we get.
So the cost of equity capital is 6.5% or 6.5 as the problem suggests to answer.
Best of luck.

Answer:
The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method:
Produce the same total depreciation over an asset's useful life.
Explanation:
The straight-line and the double-declining-balance depreciation methods are two of the four depreciation methods allowed by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The other two methods are sum of the years' digit and units of production. The straight-line method is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset's cost and either dividing the depreciable amount by the number of years or applying a fixed rate on the depreciable amount. For the double-declining-balance method, 100% is divided by the number of years of the asset's useful life and then multiplying by 2 to obtain the depreciation rate. Depreciation expense is then calculated on the declining balance until the salvage value is left. This is why they produce the same depreciation over the asset's useful life.
Answer:
- I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.
Explanation:
<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.
Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.
Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>
Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.
This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.
I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.
I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
