Answer:

9.10%

Explanation:

The formular for finding the cost of preferred stock is:

rp=Dp/(Pp(1-F))

Preffered stock price (Pp) = $92.50

Preferred dividend (Dp) = $8.00

Flotation cost (F) = 5%

5×100

=0.05

Therefore,

rp= 8.00/(92.50(1-0.05))

rp= 8.00/(92.50(0.95))

rp= 8.00/87.87

rp= 0.0910×100

rp= 9.10%

Thus, the cost of preferred stock is 9.10%

Answer:

8.21%

Explanation:

We can calculate this by the simple formula:

Price*(1 - Flotation cost) = Dividend/Cost of Pref. stock

Hence the formula turns into:

Cost of Pref. stock = Dividend / Price*(1 - Flotation costs)

Cost of Pref. Stock = 8 / 102.50*(1 - 0.05)

Cost of Pref. Stock = 8.21%

Hope this clear things up.

Good luck and cheers.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Risk is higher if a company has more assets.

Explanation:

All of the following statements are true and correct;

1. Higher financial leverage involves higher risk.

2. Risk is higher if a company has more liabilities.

3. The debt ratio is one measure of financial risk.

4. Lower financial leverage involves lower risk.

However, it is false and an absolutely incorrect to say risk is higher if a company has more assets.

A company having more assets would have a debt ratio less than one (1) because it has many assets to fund it's business. Thus, the company would have little or no debts and as such, it's risk portfolio is very low.

Hence, risk is lower if a company has more assets.
