Answer:

8%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Current selling price of the preferred stock = $28

Annual dividend = $2 per share

Flotation cost = $3 per share

Firm tax rate = 40%

So by considering the above information, the cost of new preferred stock is

= Annual dividend per share ÷ (Current selling price of the preferred stock - Flotation cost)

= $2 ÷ ($28 - $3)

= $2 ÷ $25

= 8%

We simply applied the above formula so that the cost of preferred stock could arrive

zheka24 [161]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the externality is shown below:

MC = 500 + 2Q

MEC = 40 + 2Q

Therefore, the Marginal social cost (MSC) will be:

= MC + MEC

= 500 + 2Q + 40 + 2Q

= 540 + 4Q

Since Demand: Q = 150,000 - 100P, we have to get a function for P which will be:

Q = 150,000 - 100P

100P = 150,000 - Q

P = (150,000 - Q)/100

P = 1,500 - 0.01Q

Total revenue, TR = P x Q

= (1,500 - 0.01Q) × Q

= 1500Q - 0.01Q²

Marginal revenue, MR will be:

= dTR / dQ

= 1,500 - 0.02Q

It should be noted that for when there's no externality, Equilibrium, MC must be equal to MR. Therefore,

1,500 - 0.02Q = 500 + 2Q

2Q + 0.02Q = 1500 - 500

2.02Q = 1,000

Q = 1000/2.02

Q = 495

P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 495)

= 1,500 - 4.95

= 1,495.05

When there's externality, Equilibrium will be:

MR = MSC

1,500 - 0.02Q = 540 + 4Q

4.02Q = 960

Q= 960/4.02

Q = 239

Therefore, P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 239)

= 1,500 - 2.39

= 1,497.61

Then, we will calculate the deadweight loss which will be:

= 1/2 x Difference in price x Difference in quantity

= 1/2 x (1,497.61 - 1,495.05) x (495 - 239)

= 1/2 x 2.56 x 256

= 327.68

Forgery is a kind of fraud in which one changes name, signature or anything pertaining to another person in order to deceive other people. Forgery is a fraud and it is a criminal offence that should be stop in the society. Just as it is in the question above the supervisor is forging Leon’s name in order to be able to collect the money of someone that is no more working.

The two control techniques to prevent or detect this fraud scheme are given below:

=> Automated Signature Verification System : the company should have Automated Signature Verification System for their employees and customers so that with it they can easily detect forgery fraud and the person affected can be able to recover his or her losses.

=> Tracking of workers' appointment by the personnel department: the personnel department should track the appointment of each of their employees in any organization.

Other ways are to Install biometric time cards and make sure payroll record are verified and updated before payment.

Which of the following is true about multicollinearity?
Komok [63]

Answer:

d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).

Explanation:

Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance

Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.  

  • VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5  implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
  • VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating  Var (\beta j ) = σ^2 / [TSS j (1 - R^2j)] ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 =  j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j

Suppose that you buy a two-year 7.4% bond at its face value. a-1. What will be your total nominal return over the two years if i
Harman [31]

Answer: 15.35%

Explanation:

The total nominal return over the two years if inflation is 2.4% in the first year and 4.4% in the second year will be calculated thus:

= (1+Interest rate)² -1

= (1 + 7.4%) - 1

= (1 + 0.074)² - 1

= 1.074² - 1

= 1.153476 - 1

= 0.153476

= 15.35% over the two years
