Answer:
Equity Beta= 2,529
Explanation:
The risk of investing in a particular stock is measured with a metric referred to as equity beta. Equity Beta measures the volatility of the stock to the market, how sensitive is the stock price to a change in the overall market. It compares the volatility associated with the change in prices of a security. It changes with the capital structure of the company which includes the debt portion.
There are 3 methods to calculate Equity Beta:
1- Using the CAPM Model
2- Using Slope Tool
3- Using Unlevered Beta
In this exercise, we have the information to use the third method.
Equity Beta Formula = Unlevered Beta [ 1 + (D/E)( 1-Tax )]
Unlevered Beta= 1,23
D/E= 0,46
Tax rate= 0,35
Equity Beta = 1,23 + (1+0,46*0,65)
Equity Beta= 2,529
Answer:
The option with the quarterly compounding provides a higher future value.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $7,000
Number of years= 4 years
<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:</u>
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
<u>Quarterly compounding:</u>
Interest rate (i)= 0.07/4= 0.0175
n= 4*4= 16
FV= 7,000*(1.0175^16)
FV= $9,239.51
<u>Monthly compounding:</u>
i= 0.0685/12= 0.00571
n= 4*12= 48
FV= 7,000*(1.00571^48)
FV= $9,200.07
The option with the quarterly compounding provides a higher future value.
Answer:
A. If the loan is not reclassified as equity, Swan can deduct interest expense annually of $18,000, and Tonya includes in gross income annually interest income of $18,000.
Explanation:
Loans received under $385 should not be reclassified as equity.
Interest expense is determined by multiplication of the money Tonya loans Swan multiplied by the interest rate.
Therefore,
Interest expenses = 600000 x 3%
= $18000
The constant monthly withdrawal amount can be calculated by using PMT function in excel as in =PMT(rate,nper,pv) where rate = 7% = 0.07/12 (Monthly rate), nper = 20 years = 20*12 = 240 months and pv = 300,000
Constant monthly withdrawal amount =PMT(0.07/12,240,300000)
Constant monthly withdrawal amount = $2,325.90
Constant monthly withdrawal amount = $2,326 (Option C)
