Answer:

the company's cost of equity is 11.47 %.

Explanation:

The Company`s cost of equity is the return that is required by holders of Common Stocks.

The Cost can be determined using the <em>Capital Asset Pricing Model</em> (CAPM) as follows :

Cost of Equity = Return on Risk Free Rate + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio

                       = 2.86 % + 1.23 × 7.00 %

                       = 11.47 %.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

a. $2,465.82

b. $3,539.68

c. Yes, we should

Explanation:

Annual cost to maintain old forklift is $5,000

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of new forklift = (Asset price x discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)-n), in which n is the number of year for usage of this forklift?

If discount rate is 4% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $2,465.82  

= ($20,000x4%)/(1-(1+4%)-10)

If discount rate is 12% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $3,539.68  

= ($20,000x12%)/(1-(1+12%)-10)

We should replace because with such above discount rate, the old forklift is more costly than the new one
