Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Beta (B) = 1.3
Marginal tax rate = 34%
Risk free interest rate = 6%
Market rate of return = 11%
The cost of equity is calculated using the relation:
Risk free rate of return + Beta(market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Cost of equity = 6% + 1.3(11% - 6%)
Cost of equity = 6% + 1.3(5%)
Cost of equity = 6% + 6.5%
Cost of equity = 12.5%
Therefore, the firm's cost of internal equity is 12.5%
Answer:
B - $13,556.82
Explanation:
Amount to be invested is equal to the present value of future inflows
Present value = future value/(1+Interest rate)^Number of years
The actual amount at the end of the first year should be $3000 if there is an answer in the options
The amount at the end of the second year is $4000
The amount at the end of the third, fourth and fifth year is $5000
Hence, amount to be invested = 3000/(1.17) + 4000/(1.17)^2 + 5000/(1.17)^3 + 5000/(1.17)^4 + 5000/(1.17)^5
= $13,556.82
Hence, the answer is $13,556.82
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $54.61
Explanation:
The stock of this company pays a constant dividend for a defined period of time after equal intervals. Thus, it is just like an annuity. To calculate the price of such a stock, we will use the present value of annuity formula:
Assuming that the dividend is paid at the end of the period.
Present Value of Annuity = Dividend * [(1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]
Where,
- r is the required rate of return
- n is the number of years of annuity
The price of the stock today is,
P0 = 8.45 * [(1 - (1+0.13)^-15) / 0.13]
P0 = $54.607 rounded off to $54.61
Answer:
1. Huprey can resonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable.
3. Huprey is being sued for damages of $2,400,000. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.
Explanation:
Contingent liabilities must be recorded only when it is probable that the liability will happen and you can estimate the associated costs.
When contingent liabilities are only reasonably possible or you cannot estimate the amount, they must be included in the footnotes of the financial statements.
When contingent liabilities are not reasonably possible, nothing needs to be disclosed.
