Answer:

a. Calculate Company X's sustainable growth rate

sustainable growth rate = retention rate x return on equity

retention rate = ($12,400 - $8,200) / $12,400 = 33.87%

ROI = $12,400 / $54,000 = 22.96%

g = 33.87% x 22.96% = 7.78%

b. In question (ii), we assume that Company X's management wants to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio and in the next year, the growth rate of Company X is what we've calculated in question (i).Calculate the amount of new debt that Company X has to take.

I will assume that the whole debt is current debt and it changes proportionally as the company's sales grow.

EFN = ($118,000/$160,000) x ($12,448) - ($64,000/$160,000) x ($12,448) - (0.0775 x $172,448 x 0.0778) = $9,180 - $4,979 - $1,040 = $3,161

c. If Company X's management does not want any external financing, what would be the growth rate

ROA = $12,400 / $118,000 = 10.51%

Internal growth rate = (10.51% × 33.87%) / [1 - (10.51% × 33.87%)] = 3.56% / 0.9644 = 3.69%

River Enterprises has $502 million in debt and 22 million shares of equity outstanding. Its excess cash reserves are $ 15 milli

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The stock price would be higher by $7.37

Explanation:

Free cash flow to equity = 195 million with a growth rate of 2% in perpetuity

Value of equity = Free cash flow to equity ÷ (Ce -g) = 195 million ÷ (13% - 2%)

= 190 ÷ 0.11 = $1,772,727,272.73 = $1,773 million

If growth rate is 3%, value of equity = 195 ÷ (13%-3%) = 195 ÷ 0.1 = $1,950 million

a. Value of stock = (1,773 + 15) million ÷ 22 = $81.27

b. Value of stock with 3% = 1,950 ÷ 22 = $88.64

Thus stock price would be higher by = b-a = $7.37

Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The covenant of good faith and fair dealing simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading Uberrima fides. This is a Latin phrase meaning "Utmost Good Faith".

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

Cheers!

Milk producers across Arizona and nationwide currently are facing prices that are so low that many dairies have already gone ban

Lelu [443]

Question Completion:

What is a price floor?

Answer:

A price floor of $2 for milk producers across Arizona and nationwide means that the government does not want the price of milk to fall below $2. This measure enables dairies to remain in operation. It favors producers to the detriment of consumers, at least in the short-run.

Explanation:

However, assuming that the market was efficient before the price floor was introduced by the government, the price floor of $2 per gallon for milk could cause a deadweight loss to occur. In Economics, a deadweight loss reduces economic efficiency. It implies that consumers pay a higher price for the same quantity of goods they were purchasing before the price floor was introduced. Thus, the reaction of consumers would be to reduce their demand or drop out of the market entirely (instead of producers dropping out of the market through the normal operation of the market forces).

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.

motikmotik

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%
