Answer:
The owner's equity is $900
Explanation:
Because an asset takes money from your pocket and liability puts money in your pocket.
The two primary factors affecting an entrepreneur choice of legal ownership for a venture are TAXES AND LEGAL LIABILITY.
The type of business that an entrepreneur establish will determine the type and the amount of tax that it will be required to pay. The legal liability of the entrepreneur determines the extent to which he can be liable in case he finds himself in a financial mess. The entrepreneur should try and minimize the impacts of these two factors.
Answer:
The share is worth $5.68 today.
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The following is the formula for the price of the stock today,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + Terminal value / (1+r)^n
The terminal value is the cumulative value of all the future dividends calculated when the dividend growth becomes zero or constant. In case the dividend growth becomes constant, like in this case, the terminal value is calculated as follows,
Terminal value = Dn * (1+g) / r - g
Where,
- g is the Constant growth rate in dividends
So, the price of this stock today is,
P0 = 0.65 / (1+0.145) + 0.70 / (1+0.145)^2 + 0.75 / (1+0.145)^3 +
((0.75 * (1+0.02) / (0.145 - 0.02)) / (1+0.145)^3
P0 = $5.678 rounded off to $5.68
Answer:
The market value of equity should be used.
Explanation:
Their are only two methods which are book value method or market value method. The market value method is preferred because the reason is that the market value gives the more accurate numerical value that the securities of the company will give which is the required rate of return to its investors. However historic cost data is not useful because the value of stock and bonds keeps changing every second in the stock exchange and their is the risk that the WACC calculated is inaccurate which implies that the project appraised is also incorrect.
So the best way to calculate the weighted cost of capital is that we should use the fair value of the securities.
