You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises: Debt: 9,300 7.4 percent coupon bonds outstanding, wit

h 21 years to maturity and a quoted price of 108.75. These bonds have a par value of $2,000 and pay interest semiannually. Common stock: 320,000 shares of common stock selling for $66.40 per share. The stock has a beta of 1.09 and will pay a dividend of $4.60 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.4 percent per year indefinitely. Preferred stock: 9,900 shares of 4.70 percent preferred stock selling at $95.90 per share. Market: 10.1 percent expected return, a risk-free rate of 4.55 percent, and a 24 percent tax rate.

Answer:

a. Cost of debt = 5.03%.

b. Cost of equity = 11.47%

c. Cost of preferred stock = 4.90%

Explanation:

a. Calculation of cost of debt

The bond's Yield to Maturity is the before tax cost of debt and it can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of semiannuals to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 21 * 2 = 42

r = semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 7.4% / 2 = 0.074 / 2 = 0.037

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = semiannual coupon rate * Face value = 0.037 * $2,000 = $74 = 74

pv = present value = quoted bond price = 108.75% * fv = 108.75% * 2000 = 2,175 = 2175

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 2000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(42,74,-2175,2000) * 2 ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(42,74,-2175,2000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.62%.

Therefore, we have:

After tax cost of debt = YTM * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.62% * (100% - 24%) = 5.03%

Therefore, cost of debt is 5.03%.

b. Calculation of cost of equity

Based on the information in the question, the return on equity can be calculated using the dividend discount model and capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formulae.

b-1. Using the dividend discount model formula, we have:

P = D1 / (r – g) ………………………. (3)

Where:

P = Common stock selling price per share = $66.40

D1 = Next year dividend = $4.60

r = return on equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 5.4%, or 0.054

Substituting the value into equation (3) and solve for r, we have:

66.40 = 4.60 / (r – 0.054)

66.40(r – 0.054) = 4.60

66.40r - 3.5856 = 4.60

66.40r = 4.60 + 3.5856

66.40r = 8.1856

r = 8.1856 / 66.40

r = 0.1233, or 12.33%

b-2. Using CAMP formula, cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Return on equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta(Expected return – Risk free rate) = 4.55% + (1.09 * (10.1% - 4.55%)) = 10.60%

b-3. The cost of equity can therefore be calculated as the average of the returns of equity from the two formulae is as follows:

Cost of equity = (12.33% + 10.60%) / 2 = 11.47%

c. Calculation of cost preferred stock

Note that since the preferred stock selling price per share is $95.90, it indicates that it par value is $100 and is being sold at a discount. Therefore, we have:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred stock dividend rate * Preferred stock par value) / Preferred stock selling price per share = (4.70% * 100) / 95.90 = 0.0490, or 4.90%

irina1246 [14]

Answer: C. Increase

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure in which a few firms dominate. When a market is shared between a few firms, it is said to be highly concentrated. Although only a few firms dominate, it is possible that many small firms may also operate in the market.

Where few firms dominate the equilibrium price will increase because the demand will be high, and this will make the equilibrium price increase.

-  \frac{16}{6}  +  \frac{21}{6}

Then you that minus sign in front of the fraction that means its negative

although theres an addition sign where subtracting fractions.

given it's in this order the fraction will be negative

Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.  

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

You deposit $2,000 in a savings account and a year later you have $2,100. Meanwhile, the consumer price index rises from 200 to
qaws [65]

Answer:

nominal interest rate = 5%

real interest rate = 3%

Explanation:

given data

deposit previous = $2,000

deposit present = $2,100

CPI consumer price index rises =  200 to 204

to find out

nominal interest rate and real interest rate

solution

we get here first nominal interest rate that is express as

nominal interest rate = ( deposit present - deposit previous ) ÷ deposit previous × 100    ..........................1

put here value we get

nominal interest rate = \frac{2100-2000}{2000}  × 100

nominal interest rate = 5%

and

now we get here inflation rate that is

inflation rate = ( CPI present - CPI previous ) ÷ CPI previous  × 100    .............2

inflation rate = \frac{204-200}{200}  × 100

inflation rate = 2%

and

real interest rate will be as

real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate    .................3

real interest rate = 5% - 2%

real interest rate = 3%
