Explanation:
The difference between buying shares and buying bonds are as follows:
1. Buying stock gives a person to own the company while buying a bond that provides a person to become a debt-holder of the company who can receive interest and get the entire amount in the future.
2. Purchasing stock gives an individual the voting right to elect the board of directors of a company. Buying bonds does not give voting rights to the bondholders.
3. Stock owners can receive the profit in the name of dividends. Bondholders do not receive any profit. Instead, they receive interest annually.
If this is true or false, then its true.
Answer:
3) The only bank in a small town
Explanation:
By definition a monopoly occurs when there is only one supplier in the market for a specific good or service. In this case, if there is only one bank that works in a small town, then that bank has a monopoly of all the town's residents that require banking services. If any resident doesn't like that specific bank, they need to go to another town in search for banking services.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
attainable or to attain the goal
Answer: 9.48%
Explanation:
Given Data
Debts ;
$7 billion
$2 billion
$13 billion
Beta of Fords stock = Beta = 1.50
Market risk premium = Rp = 8.0%
Risk free rate of interest = Rf = 4.0%
Equity rate = 1.7
Market risk rate = 0.8
Risk free rate = 0.03
Therefore;
Cost of Equity ( Re ) = Risk free rate + equity rate × market risk premium
= 0.03 + (1.7 × 0.8)
= 0.166
Preferred Stock Cost ( PSC)= Dividend ÷ stock price
= 4 ÷ 30
= 0.1333
Total debt = 13 + 6 + 2 = 21 billion
D% = 13 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.619
E% = 6 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.286
P% = 2 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.095
RD = debt capital at 8% maturity rate
Tc= 30%
Rwac =(w/ preferred stock)
= Re × E% + PSC × P% + Rd ( 1- Tc) D%
Rwac = (0.166)(0.286) + (0.1333)(0.095) + (0.08)(1- 0.3)*(0.619)
= 0.094803 * 100
= 9.48%
At 30% tax rate Ford weighted average cost is 9.48%
