Answer:

14.87%

Explanation:

The computation of the cost fo external equity is shown below:

Cost of external equity = {D1 ÷ P0 × (1 - f)} + g

where,

D0 represents the current dividend = $3.60

D1 represents Dividend for next year which is

= D0 × (1 + g)

= $3.60 × (1 + 0.06)

= $3.816

P0 represents the current price of the stock = $46

f represents flotation cost = $3

flotation cost =$3 per share

f =  % of flotation cost which is

= ($3 ÷ $46 ) × 100

= 6.5217391%

g represents the growth rate  = 6%

Now placing these values to the above formula

So,

Cost of external equity is

= {$3.816 ÷ $46 × (1 - 0.065)} + 0.06

= ($3.816 ÷ $43 ) + 0.06

= 0.148744 × 100

= 14.87%

Interest payable, income tax payable and salary payable are all examples of _______.
wel

Those are all examples of liabilities. To be more specific, they are <u>current liabilities</u>. Interest payable, income tax payable, and salary payable are obligations that must be paid of within one operational cycle, thus they are just current liabilities.

Current liabilities are debts that must be paid off within a year or one operational cycle, whichever comes first. They can also be paid off using current assets or generate new current liabilities.

Analysts, accountants, and investors assess a firm's payables to determine how effectively it can fulfill its short-term financial obligations thus, the firm basically needs to generate sufficient profits and money in the immediate term to meet its debt commitments.

A disgruntled customer will tell how many people about their experience
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A  disgruntled customer will tell 9 - 15 people about their experience.

Explanation:

According to a study carried out by the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, a dissatisfied consumer tells 9-15 people about their experience. However, with the advent of social media and the internet, this number can sky-rocket into thousands and possibly millions depending on how viral the complaint becomes.

This is the more reason why organizations should endeavor to provide good customer service so that their brand will not be dragged into the mud by disgruntled customers.
