Answer:

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%

Explanation:

Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2

Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta

= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)

= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2

= 0.049 + 0.072

= 0.1210

= 12.10%

Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate

= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%

= 0.039 + 0.08

= 0.1190

= 11.90%

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2

=  24% / 2

= 12%

Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%

Raul has 4 Cal Ripken and 2 Nolan Ryanbaseball cards. The prices of these baseball cards are $24 for Cal and $12 for Nolan. Raul
Softa [21]

Answer: a) 1

b) yes marginal rate of substitution is less than the relative price

c) 2.00

Explanation:

a) Raul’s marginal rate of substitution is 1 because he is only willing to trade 1 cal card for 1 additional Nolan card

b) Raul’s marginal rate of substitution is Mc/Mn = 1 However, the relative price of a Cal Ripken card is Pc/Pn = $24/$12 = 2.00. Since the marginal rate of substitution is less than the relative price, Raul can make himself better off by selling 1 Cal card and buying Nolan cards.

c) His marginal rate of substitution must be equal to the relative price; the relative price rule holds that says that Mc/Mn = Pc/Pn. From b above we know that the relative price is 2.00, Raul's marginal rate of substitution must also be 2.00.

Joe is an accountant and plans to join a group of accountants. he compares a group in a general partnership with a group in a li
Tatiana [17]
The thing that would interest him the most and is an advantage is that if one partner were to make a mistake, he would not be held accountable for it. Unlike the general partnership where everyone gets equal blame for the downfall of a company, in limited liability it is known what falls under whose jurisdiction and if someone causes the company to go bankrupt, the ones whose fault it's not can't get sued.

Suppose the growth of production in Country B follows Solow Model. Country B's production function is Y = F(K,L) = K0.5 L0.5 . C
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

80

Explanation:

Given the Solow Formula Y = K^{0.5} *L^{0.5} in the question, we have:

Capital K = 64

Labors L = 100

Substituting the number for K and L into the equation, we have:

Y=64^{0.5} *100^{0.5}

Y = 8 * 10

Y = 80

Please Note:

Country B's production function is Y = F(K,L) = K0.5 L0.5 is not correctly stated as the real Solow Model using equation format in the question. This has therefore been done under the explanation above and now correctly stated as Y = K^{0.5} *L^{0.5} .
