Answer:

Katie Kwasi's Utility Function

The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:

= 40 units of x1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2

Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:

= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2

= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2

Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint.  If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.

Strike441 [17]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Sales = 747300

Less: Costs = 582600

Less: Depreciation = 89300

EBIT = 75400

Less: Taxes at 22% = 22% × 75400 = 16588

Net income = EBIT - Taxes = 75400 - 16588 = 58812

a. Calculate the OCF.

OCF will be calculated as:

= Net income + Depreciation

= 58812 + 89300

= 148,112

b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Depreciation tax shield will be:

= Depreciation × Tax rate

= 89300 × 22%

= 89300 × 0.22

= 19646

According to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), a capital budgeting project that has a beta equal to zero should be evaluat
lara [203]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

from the CAPM formula we can derive the statemeent as true.

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.07

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0

Ke= 0.05 + 0 (0.07)

Ke 0.05000

As the beta multiplies the difference between the market rate and risk-free rate a beta of zero will nulify the second part of the equation leaving only the risk-free rate. This means the portfolio is not expose to volatility

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$4,500,000

Explanation:

current market price per stock $20

total stocks outstanding 500,000

corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000

investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000

controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000

new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29

The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.
