Answer:

Cost of equity is 11.2%

WACC is 8.74%

Explanation:

The formula for cost of equity is given below:

Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)

risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%

Beta is 0.9

market risk premium is 8%

cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%

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

Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%

Kd is the cost of debt of 5%

t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7

D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3

V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1

WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)

WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

Answer:

moral hazard

Explanation:

Banks reduce the risk of moral hazard when they monitor and supervise how their clients are using the loans and credits made to them.

Some types of credits do not require any type of monitoring or control, e.g. a credit card which a client can use basically however he/she wants to. But other types of credit that are taken for purchasing assets, e.g. a mortgage, must be used by the bank's client to specifically carryout the intended activity.

In economics, moral hazard refers to the tendency that an economic party can engage in unusually risky activities because the capital (money) that they are investing is not theirs and the negative effects of a potential loss will be suffered most by other parties.

Decision making can be regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a course of action among several alternatives. Every decision making process produces a final choice.

Types of Decision Making:

• PROGRAMMED DECISIONS : A programmed decision is one that is fairly structured or recurs with some frequency.
