Answer:

Merv's Hardware would most likely try to lower the sale price of the sandpaper. In order to do so, the family store would have to reduce the costs of production, both fixed and variable. It might not still be able to match the $29 price offered by The Home Shoppe, but it could expect to rely on convenience for customers because while the Home Shoppe offers a cheaper product, it is located on another town and some customers may not want to go there.

Navistar Electric issued 1000 debenture bonds 2 years ago with a face value of $5,000 each and a bond interest rate of 15% per y
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$7,081.25

Explanation:

Face value = 5000

Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375

Time to maturity = 18 years

Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually

P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)

P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)

P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965

P = 7081.25273

P = $7,081.25

So, the present worth of one bond today is  $7,081.25

Ganado and Equity Risk Premiums. Maria​ Gonzalez, Ganado's Chief Financial​ Officer, estimates the​ risk-free rate to be 3.50 %​
Elza [17]

Answer:

WACC (CAPM) 5.2%

WACC (ICAPM) 5.03%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is

Ke * E/ E+D + Kd * (1 -t) D / E+D

Ke = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * \beta

Ke (CAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 1.12

Ke (CAPM) = 7.532%

Kd (CAPM) = Kd (1-t)

Kd (CAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)

Kd (CAPM) = 4.636%

WACC (ICAPM) : 7.532 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%

WACC (CAPM) = 5.2164%

Ke (ICAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 0.86

Ke (ICAPM) = 6.596%

Kd (ICAPM) = Kd (1-t)

Kd (ICAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)

Kd (ICAPM) = 4.636%

WACC (ICAPM) : 6.596 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%

WACC (CAPM) = 5.03%
