Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.

Cost of equity:

= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)

At the beginning, when there was no debt,

WACC = cost of equity = 12 %

Levered cost of equity:

= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5

= 15%

Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.

The substitution effect of an increase in the price of Raisin Bran refers to Select one: a. the decrease in the demand for Raisi
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

the fact that the higher price of Raisin Bran relative to its substitutes, such as Cheerios, causes consumers to buy less Raisin Bran.

Explanation:

the substitution effect arises when as a result of a rise in the price of a good, the good becomes more expensive relative to its substitutes. Consumers not consume less of the good and more of the substitute. This leads to a movement up along the demand curve for that goods and not a movement along the demand curve for the good and not a shift of the demand curve.

If the price of the good increases. The good becomes cheaper when compared with substitutes. As a result, the demand for the good increases while that of the substitutes decreases.

The income effect is when an increase in price lowers consumer's purchasing power, holding money income constant.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Law of demand</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

Indeed, the <em>law of demand </em>is that the price and quantity demanded are inversely related. <em>Ceteris paribus</em>, the economist say. It is a latin expression that means "<em>other things equal</em>".

As the resources are, per definition, scarce, the consumers, ecomomic agents who buy the products, need to allocate the money among the different goods and services that the market puts at their disposal.

And they allocate the resources in a intelligent way: they "calculate" the utility of each product considering the cost. If the price increase, the ratio of utility to cost decreases and the consumer will diminish the quantity demanded for that good. If the price decrases, the utility to cost ratio increases and the quantity demanded will increase.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

P₀ = $12.23

Explanation:

Div₃ = $1.25

Div₄ = $1.65

Div₅ = $2.178

Div₆ = $2.30868

first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988

now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value

P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Percentage of total return on Investment = <em>ROI = 17%  </em>

Explanation:

Let’s

ROI = Return on Investment = ?

D = Dividends = $15

CGD = Capital Gain Distributions = $35

CGS = Capital Gain on Sale = $120

SP = Shares Purchased = 100

CS = Cost per share = $10.00

ROI = (D + CGD + CGS) / (SP * CS)

ROI = ($15 + $35 + $120) / (100 * $10.00)

ROI = 170 / 1,000

ROI = 0.17  

Percentage: 0.170 x 100%

<em>ROI = 17%  </em>

serg [7]

Answer:

Project A is the better option than Project B.

Explanation:

The NPV of the project will decide which is the option with greater value to shareholders. As we can see that the NPV of Project A at 10% cost of capital is greater than the NPV of Project B at the same 10% cost of capital. So the best option here is Project A as is more in value than project B. Hence the CEO must select Project A.
