Answer:

0.82

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the firm's asset beta

Using this formula

Firm's asset beta=Equity beta/(1+/D/E)

Let plug in the formula

Firm's asset beta=1.2/(1+0.47)

Firm's asset beta=1.2/1.47

Firm's asset beta=0.816

Firm's asset beta=0.82 (Approximately)

Therefore the firm's asset beta is 0.82

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Total $1,173.2544

Explanation:

The price of the bond will be equivalent to the coupon payment and maturity discounted at the YTM

<em><u>Coupon payment PV will be an annuity:</u></em>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 35.50 (1,000 x 7.1% / 2 )

time 30 (15 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.027 (YTM /2 )

35.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.027)^{-30} }{0.027} = PV\\

PV $723.5919

<em><u> The maturity will be the present value of a lump sum</u></em>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   30.00

rate  0.027

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.027)^{30} } = PV  

PV   449.66

We add bot h to gett the market value

PV c $723.5919

PV m  $449.6625

Total $1,173.2544

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

c. $1,900

Explanation:

As for the information provided, we have:

Retained Earnings opening balance = $2,500

Current year loss = $200

Balance of retained earnings after this = $2,500 - $200 = $2,300

Now, dividends are provided which shall be paid from retained earnings only.

Cash dividends are the one paid in cash.

Stock dividends are the ones which are paid by issue extra shares from retained earnings.

Thus, both are deductible from retained earnings.

Therefore, closing balance of retained earnings = $2,300 - $200 - $200 = $1,900.
