Answer:
7.85%
Explanation:
Face value of bond =$2000
Price of current bond= face value× 106.5% = $2130
Term= 25 years×2= 50 period
Coupon rate= 7%×1/2= 3.5%
Coupon amount= coupon rate×face value = $2000×3.5/100
=$70 for a period
YTM of bond= [coupon amount+ (maturity value-current price)/Term]/0.6×current price+0.4×maturity value]
YTM of bond= 6.487% per annum
Total market value of bond= 8,400bonds× $2130= $17,892,000
Market value of common stock= 275,000shares × 62.50= $18012500
Weight of common stock= 0.490009385
Weight of preferred stock= 0.023259294
WACC= Wd* Kd + Wc*Kc + Wp*Kp
= 0.486731321× 4.86525% +
0.490009385× 10.9624275+
0.023259294× 4.7368421%
=7.849%
= 7.85%(rounded)
Thus, WACC is 7.85%
Answer:
PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic
Explanation:
the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price
- % change in quantity = {(Q
2 − Q1
) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300
) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 = -100 / 250 = -0.4
- % change in price = {(P2 − P1
) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75
) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286
PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values
Answer:
c. faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product
Explanation:
Perfect Competition is a market form, having large no. of sellers, selling homogeneous products at constant prices. So, constant prices imply that their demand curve is horizontal, perfectly elastic.
Monopolistic Competition is a market form, having many sellers, selling slightly differentiated products which are incomplete substitutes of each other. The prices also vary from firm to firm, depending on product quality. So, these firms have usual downward sloping curve, denoting price-demand inverse relationship.
