Answer:

4%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 6% - 0.2 × (16% - 6%)

= 6% - 0.2 × 10%

= 6% - 2%

= 4%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as market risk premium

ad-work [718]

Answer:

See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

In the attach excel file, the following formulae and calculations are used:

Peferred stock dividend per share = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in a year / Number of cumulative preferred shares

Common stock dividend per share = Total common stock dividend paid in a year / Number of common shares

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend = Number of cumulative preferred stock * Par value * Dividend rate = 2,500 * $100 * 10% =  2,500 * $100 * 10% = $25,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 1 = $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = $15,000

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend + Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = $25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000

Total common stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Dividend distributed in Year 3 - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = $60,000 - $40,000 = $20,000

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Interest paid semiannually on July 31, and Jan 31,

so the rate of interest is :- 9% × 6÷12 = 4.5%  and  8% × 6÷12 = 4%

Date    Interest         Paid interest 4%         Amortized         Carrying value

       expenses 4.50%                             discount amount

February,1                                                    $735,474

July,31 $33,096   -   $32,400                    $696            $736,170

Jan.31      $33,128   -   $32,400                    $728            $736,898

Working note =

Paid interest = $810,000 × 4÷100 = 32,400

Interest expenses in July,31 = $735,474 × 4.5 ÷ 100

= 33,096.33 or $33,096

Interest expenses in January,31 = $736,170 × 4.5÷100

= 33,127.65 or $33,128

Carrying Value = Previous Carrying Value + Amortized Discount Amount

July,31

= $735,474 + $696

= $736,170

Jan,31 =  $736,170 + $728 = $736,898

Nettie can produce 8 cupcakes or 4 hamburgers in an hour. becky can produce 4 cupcakes or 8 hamburgers in an hour. they each can
Alex73 [517]
The correct answers are four and four (4,4).

Why? Since Nettie was able to produce 8 cupcakes and 4 hamburgers within an hour, which gives her 8 cupcakes and 4 hamburgers available for trading while Becky was able to produce 4 cupcakes and 8 hamburgers in an hour. When they traded each other for a certain food its value will be equal to the opposite food, like 1 hamburger is equivalent to 1 cupcake, Nettie consumed 4 hamburgers, while Becky consumed 4 cupcakes, which is why they both consumed 4 pieces of food each after their trade.

The shareholder-debtholder conflict refers to:________
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The shareholder-debtholder conflict usually arises because shareholders would prefer the firm to engage in more risky business activities. This is because this has the potential to increase the income of the firm and as a result, the wealth of shareholders.

On the other hand debtholders would not want the firm to engage in risky activities because it might negatively affect the firm's ability to make its schedules payments to debtholders.

In order to protect themselves, debtholders usually draft a deb covenant which contains allowable activities of the firm
