Common Stock is 2.5 million shares with a current price of $42 per share; the beta of the stock is 1.34; the standard deviation
Kamila [148]

Answer:

the firm's cost of equity is 17.808%

Explanation:

A firm's cost of equity is the return expected by holders of Common Stock.

The Data available allows us to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to determine the cost of Equity.

Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Company`s Beta × Expected Return on Market Portfolio

                       = 2.8%+1.34×11.2%

                       = 17.808%

hoa [83]

Answer:

$8,586,000

Explanation:

market price for Littlelaser $100 per unit

units sold 106,000

total revenue generated by Littlelaser = $100 x 106,000 = $10,600,000

required investment = $8,056,000

since the investors require a return on investment of 25%, then the profits generated by Littlelaser should be:

ROI = net income / total investment

25% x $8,056,00 = net income

net income = $2,014,000

target cost = total revenue - net income = $10,600,000 - $2,014,000 = $8,586,000

total revenue $10,600,000

<u>- total cost $8,596,000    </u>

net income $2,014,000
