Answer:
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 8%
Return on market portfolio (Rm) = 15%
Beta (β) = 1.2
Ke = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(15 - 8)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(7)
Ke = 8 + 8.4
Ke = 16.40%
Earnings per share (EPS) = $10
Current dividend paid (Do) = 40% x $10 = $4
Retention rate (b) = &6/$10 x 100 = 60% = 0.6
ROE (r) = 20% = 0.2
Growth rate (g) = b x r
= 0.6 x 0.2
= 0.12 = 12%
Current market price (Po)
= Do<u>(1 + g) </u>
Ke - g
= $4<u>(1 + 0.12)</u>
0.1640 - 0.12
= $4<u>(1.12)</u>
0.044
= $101.82
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to calculate the cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model. Then, we will determine the growth rate, which is a function of retention rate (b) and return on equity(r).
Finally, we will calculate the current market price, which is dividend paid, subject to growth, divided by the excess of cost of equity over growth rate.
Answer:
$481,000
Explanation:
Bond issue costs are either direct or indirect costs:
- direct costs include underwriting fees, listing fees, professional fees, compliance costs and other costs related to the IPO or APO (secondary issues), e.g printing costs
- indirect costs include underpricing costs (IPO pricing is too low) and loss of proprietary information
Total bond issue costs = $22,000 + $170,000 + $9,000 + $280,000 = $481,000
Answer:
qualified acquisition debt = $750,000
qualified home equity debt = $0
Explanation:
Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.
Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Since this is an operating lease (short lease term, no transfer of ownership, and low present value of lease payments), the lessor has to record a depreciation expense, but the lessee only considers lease payments as operating costs (no depreciation expense or lease liability should be recognized).
Depreciation expense per year under the straight line method = asset cost / useful life = $280,000 / 8 years = $35,000
