Answer:

a. What is the significance of voting rights to the ordinary shareholders? What is a proxy? Why do proxy fights occur?

Voting rights, to ordinary shareholders, is the upside of holding common stock, with the downside being that they have less preference of payment than bondholders, and preferred stock holders.

A proxy is a group of shareholder activists who attempt at enacting a particular change within the company. Proxy fights occur because proxies often meet resistance from the firm's current board.

b. Briefly explain the factors that influence the planning of the capital structure in practice.

There are many factors that influence the planning of the capital structure. For example, if interest rates are low, the board may plan for more debt and less equity, while the opposite would occur if interest rates are high.

In general terms, boards and managers tend to like debt because they represent the chance of leveraging the company, and a high leverage can increase returns to shareholders by a large margin if the economic performance of the firm is good.

c. ‘Bonus shares represent simply a division of corporate pie into a large number of pieces.’

Bonus shares are stock issued in place of dividends. In other words, when profits are distributed, stockholders get even more stock, instead of cash. Bonus shares, therefore, increase the amount of the firm's stock by the value of current profit, slicing the corporate pie into a larger number of pieces.

Mashutka [201]

Facilities, factories, and production lines with very large equipment are all classified as installations.

What is production?
Production is the process of combining different immaterial inputs (plans, knowledge) with material inputs to create something that is intended for consumption (output). It is the process of producing an outcome, a good as well as service that has value and enhances people's utility. Production theory, a branch of economics that focuses on production, is entwined with consumption (or consumer) economic theory. Utilizing the initial inputs productively leads to the production process and the output (or factors of production). Land, labour, as well as capital are regarded as the three primary production factors and are referred to as primary producer products or services. Both the output process and the final product do not significantly change these essential inputs or turn them into integral parts of the final product.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

1) Mining

2) Ranching

3) Commercial Farming

Explanation:

The miners who comes mostly from California and other areas fulfilled the demand for gold and silver in the East. They also contributed in extracting other minerals i.e. copper, zinc, iron ore, lead, and quartz, which were great for the industrial use.

The sheep and cattle ranchers played an important role too i.e. that they produced wool, meat, and leather to satisfy the demands of eastern manufacturers and the consumers.

The farmers contributed by making farming commercial. They sold their crops in home town and internationally which helped the economy to improve.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

With mitigation: NPV =$36,670,000, IRR= 15,24%

Without mitigation: NPV= $ 42,000,000, IRR= 19,86%

Explanation:

To calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) we have to sum the present value of a project´s cash flows (positive and negative cashflows). To do so, we need: the number of periods of the project, the discount rate, cost of captal or WACC, and the future values of the cash flows. Then we apply the formula attached.

To calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) we have to find the discount rate, cost of capital or WACC that makes the NPV equal to cero. That means we have to find a rate in which the investor do not create or destroy value, only recovers the investment. I attached the formula.

But, this is better if we use excel:

First we copy the cash flows of the two projects. To find the NPV we use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(rate;cash flows from year 1 to year 5)+ cash flow of year 0"

To find the IRR we use the financial formula "IRR" in this way:

"=IRR(cash flows from year 0 to year 5)"

I attached the excel figure.
