Answer: 26.73%

Explanation:

You can calculate the expected return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Formula is:

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

Use the previous figures to solve for the risk free rate:

20.47% = Rf + 1.39 * (16.50% - Rf)

20.47% = Rf + 22.935% - 1.39R

20.47% - 22.935% = Rf - 1.39Rf

-2.465% = -0.39Rf

Rf = -2.465% / -0.39

= 6.32%

New expected return is:

= 6.32% + 1.39 * (21% - 6.32%)

= 26.73%

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$5.31

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding

<em>where,</em>

<u>Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :</u>

Net Income                                                                       $650,000

Less Preference Stock dividend                                       ($71,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock      $579,000

<em>and</em>

<u>Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :</u>

Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding                                  100,000

Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2)                                9,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding    109,000

therefore,

Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷  109,000

                                = $5.31

The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

option b is correct

current stock price is $42.64

Explanation:

given data

dividend = $1.75

growth rate = 25% for 2 year

growth rate 1 = 6%

required return 2 = 12%

to find out

current stock price

solution

we will find here first stock price after 2 year that is

stock price = cash flow at 2 year end × ( 1+rate ) / ( rate 2 - rate1 )    ..................1

so here  cash flow at 2 year end = 1.75×1.25 = 2.1875

2.1875 × 1.25 = 2.734

stock price = 2.734  × ( 1+ 0.06 ) / ( 0.12 - 0.06 )  

stock price = 48.30

so stock price at 0.12 return

= cash flow at 1 year / ( 1+ rate 2 ) + cash flow at 2 year / ( 1+ rate 2 )² + stock price / ( 1+ rate 2 )²

= 2.1875 / ( 1+ 0.12 ) +  2.734 / ( 1+ 0.12 )² + 48.30 / ( 1+ 0.12 )²

= $42.64

so option b is correct

current stock price is $42.64

Blizzard [7]
<span>Let the number of calories from lunch be called L. As such, breakfast is then L + 128, and dinner is 2L - 400. We can then sum the three meals and equate it to the total caloric intake, the known value of 1932.
   So: 1932 = L + L + 128 + 2L - 400 = 4L - 272.
   Lunch = 551
 Breakfast = 551 + 128 = 679
 Dinner = 2*551 - 400 = 702</span>

Katarina [22]

Answer: a. the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.

Explanation: Switching costs are defined as those cost the consumer pays as the result of changing brands or products, but can also be manifested in the form of time and effort spent during the switching process, the risk of disruption of business operations during the period of switching etc. and so therefore, switching costs can be monetary, psychological, effort-based, or time-based.

Companies with difficult-to-master products and low competition often times will use high switching costs to maximize profit by typically employing strategies that incur high switching costs on the consumer. Therefore, consumers will bear the costs of switching if the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.
