storchak [24]

In any field of study, people always start with the ideal scenario in order to eliminate external factors that could only add complexities. Then, when we fully understand the concepts, the calculations gradually evolve to more complex ones to cater to realistic problems.

The basic assumptions that economists do are the following
1. People always have preferences on a set of outcomes and this can be determined through the quantity and quality of their value
2. People always maximize utility or the satisfaction you get out of buying and using the product.
3. Businesses always maximize profit.

Power deriving from one's personal attraction is called ______ power.

Oksanka [162]

The correct answer to the question is (B) referent power.

Referent power refers to <u>a type of power that a person attains through his or her interpersonal relationship skills</u>.

Though personalized power seems like an answer it is actually not, it is a type of motive that a person has for power. Legitimate, reward, and coercive all stem from external sources, and thus they do not fit the description in the question.

Temka [501]

Answer:

B) rs > WACC > rd.

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

As we know that the risk of equity in comparison to debt is more. And the return in respect of equity is received as an interest whereas for the debt it is received as a dividend.

And, The WACC has come between debt and equity

A company with 110,000 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 49,000 shares at $13. Subsequently, the company declared

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$29,400

Explanation:

The company will distribute dividends only to outstanding shares, since the number of outstanding shares is not specified, we should assume that all the 49,000 shares issued are outstanding shares. The company declared a 2% dividend, so we must multiply the current value of the stock times 2% = $30 x 2% = $0.60 per share.

The total amount distributed was 49,000 outstanding shares x $0.60 per share = $29,400

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock is 16%.

b. WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. The required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture is Ke = 18 %.

Explanation:

Here the given is,

E = $6 million, D = $4 million, Beta = 1.2,

Rmp = the expected risk premium on the market =10%.

Rf = The Treasury bill rate = 4%

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock,

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp = 4 + 1.2 \times 10 = 16%$ %.

b. Tax rate, T = 40%

The proportion of debt = $Wd = D / (D + E) = 4 / (6 + 4) = 0.4$

Proportion of equity, We = 1 - Wd = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Cost of debt, Kd = Risk-free rate as debt is free of default = 4%

$WACC = Wd \times Kd \times (1 - T) + We\times Ke\\\\ = 0.4 \times4\times (1 - 40) + 0.6 \times 16\\\\ = 10.56%$

WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. Suppose the company wants to diversify into the manufacture of rose-colored glasses. The beta of optical manufacturers with no debt outstanding is 1.4. What is the required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture? (You should assume that the risky project will not enable the firm to issue an additional debt)

$Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp\\\\Ke = 4 + 1.4 \times 10 = 18%$

Ke = 18 %.
