Answer:

a. Interest rate will rise.

b.   Borrowing on short term

Explanation:

A. The interest rate will likely go up if government embark on major infrastructure plan in the future. The reason for the rise is that it`s assumed that government will borrow to finance the infrastructure plan and when government borrows, there will be less money in the economy which will make credit scarce and interest rate to rise because of the depleting credit level in the economy.

B. I will advise to borrow on short term because of the impending rise in interest rate. If borrow on short term, the fluctuation in the interest rate will unlikely affect the short term facility. In contrast, if borrow on long term, the impeding rise in the interest rate might increase finance cost for the firm  in servicing the facility and also erode the facility value.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

There should be strong internal controls implemented and segregation of duties in the finance department.

Explanation:

There is lack of internal controls present in the company which may lead to fraud or errors. The employees assigned to record the transaction are not recording all the cash receipts and are missing some of the cash receipts which can cause errors during reconciliation. The sub divisions of finance department must be segregated and there should be a supervisor who should be responsible to review all the work done by these departments.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(a) $34.4

(b) $38.70(Approx).

(c) $61.9524

Explanation:

(a) Current price:

=\frac{D1}{Required\ return-Growth\ rate}

=\frac{2.15\times(1+0.04)}{0.105-0.04}

=\frac{2.15\times 1.04}{0.105-0.04}

      = $34.4

We use the formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

where,

A = future value

P = present value

r = rate of interest

n = time period

(b) A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

A=34.4(1.04 )^{3}

         = 34.4 × 1.124864

         = $38.6953

         = $38.70(Approx).

(c)  A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

A=34.4(1.04 )^{15}

         = 34.4 × 1.80094351

         = $38.6953

         = $61.9524
