I’m assuming this question is within the context of business or economics so I’ll frame my answer accordingly. Diversification is varying your portfolio(the investments you make or in a business’ case, the services they) to help lower the overall risk you take on. An example of this is a company that offers invests in oil, hotels, and restaurants. If the oil industry took a dive, the firm would not go under cause of revenue from its other investments.

Wayco Industrial Supply has a pretax cost of debt of 7.6 percent, a cost of equity of 16.8 percent, and a cost of preferred stoc

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

14.88%

Explanation:

Market value of common stock outstanding = 220,000 * $27 = $5,940,000

Market value of preferred stock = 25,000 * $41 = $1,025,000

Market value of bond = $550,000 * 101.2% = $556,600

Wayco's total financing market value = $5,940,000 + $1,025,000 + $556,600 = $7,521,600

Weighted average cost of capital = [($5,940,000 / $7,521,600) * 16.8%] + [($1,025,000 / $7,521,600) * 9.1%] + [($556,600 / $7,521,600) * 7.6% * (1 - 34%)] = 0.1488, or 14.88%

OverLord2011 [107]

Explanation:

Microsoft is a giant technology company with worldwide influence.

Its success and reputation have ensured the company the position of the most valuable company in the world by market capital.

The popularization of the Windows Operating System, worldwide, was the product that consolidated the company as a giant in the business world. Technological companies, should focus on innovation, as each day more advances in technology appear to correct possible system errors, make the user's performance and use better and make production costs cheaper. With regard to the Operating System for computers, Microsoft has always evolved in launching new, more evolved versions, and making the previous ones obsolete for use, but one of the company's failures was to have lost the timing to develop an OS aimed at the use in cell phones, since that the company tried to enter this market, but was unsuccessful, and was defeated by its biggest competitors: Google and Apple.

g Estimate the cost of common equity for a firm, given the following information. For the next year, the firm plans to pay a div

wel

Answer:

The cost of equity is 12.49 percent

Explanation:

The price per share of a company whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate can be calculated using the constant growth model of the DMM. The DDM bases the price of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

D1 is the dividend expected for the next period
r is the cost of equity
g is the growth rate in dividends

As we already know the P0 which is price today, the D1 and the growth rate in dividends (g), we can plug in the values of these variables in the formula to calculate the cost of equity (r)

100.81 = 8.76 / (r - 0.038)

100.81 * (r - 0.038) = 8.76

100.81r - 3.83078 = 8.76

100.81r = 8.76 + 3.83078

r = 12.59078 / 100.81

r = 0.12489 or 12.489% rounded off to 12.49%

c. Since treasury stock is not an asset, dividend received on treasury stock is not to be treated as income, it is only assets that generates income. it should affect retained earnings.
