Answer:
D. 15 percent
Explanation:
Cost of the machine = $2,000
Having considered operating costs as power, taxes, and so forth, the additional revenue from the output of this machine is expected to be $2,300
Expected return = $2,300 - $2,000
= $300
Therefore, the rate of returns
= Returns/cost
=300/2000
= 0.15
In Percentage, 15%. The expected rate of return on this machine is 15%
Answer:
The correct answer is option (A).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Pension Expense = Service Cost + Interest on Projected Benefit Obligation + Amortization of prior service cost due to increase in benefits - Expected return on plan assets - Amortization of net gain
By putting the following value in the formula, we get
Pension Expense = $2,100,000 + $805,000 + $380,000 - $532,000 - $205,000
= $2,548,000
Answer:
c. News has no effect on stock prices.
Explanation:
A foreign exchange market can be defined as a type of market where the currency of a country is converted to that of another country. For example, the conversion of the United States of America dollars into naira, rands, yen, pounds, euros, etc., at the foreign exchange market.
Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.
The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis which states that, asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market. Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.
According to the efficient market hypothesis, News has an effect on
the prices at which a stock is sold because it affects demand and supply.
Answer:
9.73%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt first we have to determine the cost of debt by applying the RATE formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $604.42
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 6.95% × 2 = 13.9%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 13.9% × ( 1 - 0.30)
= 9.73%
