Answer:

14.925%

Explanation:

Cost of equity = Unlevered Cost of Equity + (Unlevered Cost of Equity - Cost of debt)*Debt to value ratio / (1-debt to value ratio)*(1-Tax rate)

Cost of equity = 12% + (12%-9%)*0.6/(1 - 0.6)*(1 - 35%)

Cost of equity = 0.12 + 0.018/0.4*0.65

Cost of equity = 0.12 + 0.02925

Cost of equity = 0.14925

Cost of equity = 14.925%

So, Alabaster's cost of equity will be 14.925%.

Answer:

a. If two similar properties are for sale, a buyer will purchase the cheaper of the two.

The principle of substitution justifies the idea that the maximum value of a property will be set by the selling price of an equally valuable and desirable substitute property. In this case of property sale, if an area has two similar houses and one is being sold for $912,000 and the other is priced at $105,000, buyers will most likely go for the cheaper one. There is no reason to pay more money if they will be getting a similar property at low cost.
