Answer:

a. <u>Calculation of the firm's cost of equity using CAPM</u>

Required rate of return (Cost of equity) = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium

Cost of equity = 2.80% + 1.32*14%

Cost of equity = 2.80% + 18.38%

Cost of equity = 21.28%

b) <u>Calculation of the cost of equity using constant growth model:</u>

Cost of equity = Dividend yield + Growth rate(Capital gain yield)

Cost of equity = 8.00% + 36.00%

Cost of equity = 44.00%

A firm offers terms of 1.6/10, net 60. a. What effective annual interest rate does the firm earn when a customer does not take t
leva [86]

Answer:

case 1: 12.49%

case 2: 21.20%

case 3:   9.48%

case 4:  13.98%

Explanation:

the rate stands for the period between the last day of the discount and the last day the invoice can be cancelled at nominal.

we equalize this with a rate which capitalize annually and solve for this rate:

(1+discount)^{(net-d_t)/365} =1+r_e\\ r_e = \sqrt[(net-d_t)/365]{1+discount}

case 1:

r_e = \sqrt[(60-10)/365]{1+0.016}

re = 0.1249 = 12.49%

case 2:

r_e = \sqrt[(60-10)/365]{1+0.026}

re = 0.2120 = 21.20%

case 3:

r_e = \sqrt[(75-10)/365]{1+0.016}

re = 0.0948 = 9.48%

case 4:

r_e = \sqrt[(60-15)/365]{1+0.016}

re = 0.13977 = 13.98%

Houston Pumps recently reported $220,000 of sales, $140,500 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $9,250 of depreciati
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The free cash flow for the firm would be $32,812

Explanation:

In this question we have been given the

total sales = $220,000

operating cost ( without deprecation) = $140,500

depreciation cost = $9250

income tax rate = 35%

capital expenditure(amount invested in fixed asset) = $15,250

investment made in net working capital = $6850

Here our first step should be to calculate the EBIT which is the earnings before interest and tax, for calculating this we will subtract the operating and depreciation cost from the total sales of the company,

EBIT = total sales - operating cost - depreciation

        = $220,000 - $140,500 - $9250

        = $70,250

After this we will subtract the federal plus income tax from this EBIT to get EBAT,

 EBAT = $70,250   -   35% x $70,250

            =  $70,250 - $24,588  ( the original amount was $24587.5 but we

                                                     took approximate)

            = $ 45,662

Now we will add back the depreciation in it and subtract the investment made in capital expenditure and net operating working capital cost(OWCC)

FREE CASH FLOW = EBAT + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - OWCC

                                = $45,662 + $9250 - $15,250 - $ 6850

                                = $32,812

Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires, until he is 85. He wa
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires until he is 85. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $55,000 has today.

Annual inflation is expected to be 3%. He currently has $135,000 saved, and he expects to earn 8% annually on his savings.

<u>We weren't provided with the requirements. Therefore I will answer in two different ways:</u>

a- to reach the goal the money will be deposit all in once.

b- to reach the goal the money will be deposit in annual payments.

First, we need to calculate the total money required at the age of 60.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

i= 0.08 - 0.03= 0.05

n=10

PV= 135,000

FV= 135,000*(1.05^10)= 219,900.77

Total retirement needed= 55,000*24= 1,320,000

<u>Total money needed= 1,320,000 - 219,900.77= 1,100,099.23</u>

A) Lump sum:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 1,100,099.23/1.05^10= $675,365.50

B) Annual deposit:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= ( 1,100,099.23*0.05) / [(1.05^10) - 1]= 87,462.92

Oral evidence in contract disputes is prohibited by:Multiple Choicea parol contract.an executory contract.an inferred contract.a
iris [78.8K]

The parol evidence rule will not permit evidence of an oral agreement that is inconsistent with a written term, for as to that term the contract is integrated.

"Parol evidence” is generally oral evidence. It is beneficial and may be admitted under certain circumstances after the parties agree to a final written agreement. For example, if the parties to the contract made a mistake, such as omitting or mistakenly listing a term, parol evidence may be considered.

The parol evidence rule is an evidentiary rule in contract disputes which generally makes evidence of agreements outside the parties' written contract inadmissible. That is, under the parol evidence rule any agreement that is not contained within the written contract is inadmissible in court.
