Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
<span>The pace of tuition hikes exceeded the 2013 average rate of inflation by two and 9/10 (2.9) percent. This was a smaller jump than pace of tuition hikes over the average rate of inflation 2012, which was four and one-half (4.5) percent.</span>
Answer:
$996,267.41
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of Alpha`s project can be determined by using the CFj Function of a Financial Calculator as follows :
<em>- $400,000 CF0</em>
<em>$325,000 CF1</em>
<em>$500,000 CF2</em>
<em>$400,000 CF3</em>
<em>$475,000 CF4</em>
<em>I/YR = 8%</em>
<em>Then, SHIFT NPV gives $996,267.41</em>
Thus, Alpha's net present value (NPV) is $996,267.41.
Answer:
Risk-free rate decreases
Explanation:
The CAPM formula for calculating cost of equity requires one to know the value of 3 pieces of information only:
1. the market rate of return,
2. the beta value
3. the risk-free rate.
Ra = Rrf + [Ba∗(Rm−Rrf)]
where:
Ra=Cost of Equity
Rrf = Risk-Free Rate
Ba = Beta
Rm=Market Rate of Return
From the formula
Ra = Rrf + [1.2∗(Rm−Rrf)]
Ra = Rrf + 1.2Rm - 1.2Rrf
From Ra = 1.2Rm -0.2Rrf
From the expression above, it can be seen that the lower the value of Rrf (Risk-Free rate), the higher the value of Ra.
Answer:
14.35%
Explanation:
Simon Software Co
rs= 12%
D/E = 0.25
rRF= 6%
RPM= 5%
Tax rate = 40%.
We are going to find the firm’s current levered beta by using the CAPM formula which is :
rs = rRF+ RPM
12%= 6% + 5%
= 1.2
We are going to find the firm’s unlevered beta by using the Hamada equation:
=bU[1 + (1 −T)(D/E)]
Let plug in the formula
1.2= bU[1 + (0.6)(0.25)]
1.2=(1+0.15)
1.2= 1.15bU
1.2÷1.15
1.0435= bU
We are going to find the new levered beta not the new capital structure using the Hamada equation:
b= bU[1 + (1 −T)(D/E)]
Let plug in the formula
= 1.0435[1 + (0.6)(1)]
=1.0435(1+0.6)
=1.0435(1.6)
= 1.6696
Lastly we are going to find the firm’s new cost of equity given its new beta and the CAPM:
rs= rRF+ RPM(b)
Let plug in the formula
= 6% + 5%(1.6696)
= 14.35%
