Answer:

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock is 16%.

b. WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. The required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture is Ke = 18 %.

Explanation:

Here the given is,

E = $6 million, D = $4 million, Beta = 1.2,

Rmp = the expected risk premium on the market =10%.

Rf = The Treasury bill rate = 4%

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock,

Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp = 4 + 1.2 \times 10 = 16%%.

b. Tax rate, T = 40%

The proportion of debt =Wd = D / (D + E) = 4 / (6 + 4) = 0.4

Proportion of equity, We = 1 - Wd = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Cost of debt, Kd = Risk-free rate as debt is free of default = 4%

WACC = Wd \times Kd \times (1 - T) + We\times Ke\\\\ = 0.4 \times4\times (1 - 40) + 0.6 \times 16\\\\ = 10.56%

WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. Suppose the company wants to diversify into the manufacture of rose-colored glasses. The beta of optical manufacturers with no debt outstanding is 1.4. What is the required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture? (You should assume that the risky project will not enable the firm to issue an additional debt)

Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp\\\\Ke     = 4 + 1.4 \times 10 = 18%

Ke = 18 %.

kramer

Answer:

Peter is maximizing his profit and is making an economic profit.

Explanation:

Peter's Pencils is a pencil producing firm in a perfectly competitive firm.

It produces 1,000 pencils an hour.

The total cost of producing 1,000 pencils is $500.

The market price of each pencil is $2.

The marginal cost of producing the last unit of a pencil at this point is $2.  

An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a horizontal line demand curve which also represents the average revenue and marginal revenue.

This means that the marginal revenue earned from the 1,000th pencil is $2.  

The marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost, this implies that the firm is maximizing profits.

The average total cost of the firm is  

= \frac{TC}{Q}

= \frac{500}{1,000}

= $0.5

The average total cost is $0.5 which is lower than the price. This means that the firm is earning economic profits.
