Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:

Rf (Switzerland) = 0.54%

Rm (Switzerland) = 8.5%

Beta (Switzerland) = 0.919

Rm (global) = 9.06%

Beta (global) = 0.532

a. What is​ Nestlé's cost of equity based on the domestic portfolio for a Swiss​ investor?

Re (Switzerland) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.919 x (8.5% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 7.32% = 7.86%

b. What is​ Nestlé's cost of equity based on a global portfolio for a Swiss​ investor?

Re (global) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.532 x (9.06% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 4.53% = 5.07%

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

10,900 units

Explanation:

The applicable formula is the formula for calculating the cost of goods sold, COGS.

COGS = The applicable formula is the formula for calculating the cost of goods sold, COGS.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - closing inventory

In this case,  COGS will be 11,000 units:  Beginning balance 1100 and ending balance of 1000.

11,000 = 1100 + P -1000

11,000 = 1100-1000 +P

11,000 = 100 + P

P= 11,000 -100

P= 10,900

Productions should be 10,900

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9.75%

Explanation:

EPS = Earning per share = $5

DPS = Dividend per share  $1.25

ROI = return on investment = 13%, or 0.13

RR = Retention rate = (EPS - DPS)/EPS = ($5 - $1.25)/$5 = 0.75, or 75%

Growth = RR * ROI = 13% * 75% = 9.75%

Therefore, the expected growth rate for KTI's dividend is closest to 9.75%
