Answer:
The answer is: B) The median wage in Texas is much higher than the national average. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE.
Explanation:
If you take the facts from the Census ACS 1 year survey, the median household income in Texas is $59,206 (2017 data) and a median hourly wage of $17,06 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
If you compare those numbers with the national average, the US median household income is $60,336 (the national average is $1,130 higher than the Texas median household income). Historically the Texas median household income has been lower than the national average.
If we consider the median hourly wage in Texas of $17,06 (2016 data) and we compare to the national hourly wage of $17,81 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics) we can clearly see it´s also lower. The top ten states with the highest median hourly wage are: Alaska, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, with hourly wages ranging from $22.68 to $19.24
The company's external equity comes from those funds raised from public issuance of shares or rights. The cost of external equity is the minimum rate of return which the shareholders supply new funds <span>by </span>purchasing<span> new shares to prevent the decline of the market value of the shares. To compute the cost of external equity, we should use this formula:</span>
Ke<span> = (DIV 1 / Po) + g</span>
Ke<span> = cost of external equity</span>
DIV 1 = dividend to be paid next year
Po = market price of share
g = growth rate
In the problem, the estimated dividend to be paid next year is $1.50. The market price is $18.50 and the growth rate is 4%.
<span>Substituting the given to the formulas, we need to divide $1.50 by $18.50 giving us the result of 8.11% plus the growth rate; this would yield to the result of 12.11% cost of external equity.</span>
