Answer:

13.275%

Explanation:

Using Capital Asset Pricing Model we have,

Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta (Market return - Risk free return)

Provided risk free rate of return = 4.8%

Beta = 1.13

Market rate of return = 12.3%

Therefore cost of equity = 4.8% + 1.13 (12.3 - 4.8)

= 4.8% + 8.475%

Therefore, Halestorm Corporation's cost of equity

= 13.275%

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For option 1

Dividend received in 6 month is

= $0.25 × 2

= $0.50

Now  

Profit from the sale of stock is

= sale price - purchase price

= $24 - $20 i

= $4

So,

Net proceed received from stock is

= dividend + profit from the sale

= $0.50 + $4

= $4.50

Now

Holding period return for 6 months is

= (Net proceed received ÷ purchase price) ×100

= ($4.50 ÷ $20) × 100

= 22.5 %

So,  

Annualized holding period return is

= 22.5% × 2

= 45%

For  Option 2

Dividend received in 1 year is

= $0.50 × 4

= $2

Profit from sale of stock is

= $30 - $27

= $3

Net proceeds from stock is

= $2 + $3

= $5

So,

Annualized holding period return is

= ($5 ÷ $27) × 100

= 18.52%.

As we can see that option 1 contains higher return so it would be selected

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: The equalization rate for the municipality is 45%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total market value of a municipality = $25,000,000

Total assessed value of a municipality = $11,250,000

Therefore,

Equalization rate for the municipality =\frac{Assesed\ value}{market\ value}

= \frac{11250000}{25000000}

= 0.45

= 45%

Hence, the equalization rate for the municipality is 45%.
