Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market
  • (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x  =  0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%

Answer:

NPV = 1,003,046

Explanation:

NPV = Present value of income - investment

investment 8,000,000

1,490,000 income per year during 8 years at rate x

We need to calculate the WACC so we can know the rate

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

equity-ratio = 0.40

\frac{E}{E+D} =0.40

debt-equity ratio = 0.6

\frac{D}{E+D} =0.60

K_e= 11.27\\0.1127 \times0.40 = 0.04508

K_d = 5.61 \\0.0561\times (1-.35)\times 0.6 = 0.021879

WACC 6.69590%

Now that we achieve the rate we solve for the present value of the cash flow

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

1.49* \frac{1-(1.06959)^{-8} }{0.06959} = PV\\

PV 9,003,046

And finally get the answer

NPV 9,003,046 - 8,000,000 = 1,003,046

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Etter capital                           $83,000

Lonnie Davis capital                                   $83,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Capital balance of  Myles Etter = $249,000

Capital balance of  Crystal Santori = $105,000

Amount of interest sold by the Etter to Lonnie Davis = one-third

Sales price = $70,000

Now,

Required entry will be as follows

Etter capital                           $83,000

Lonnie Davis capital                                   $83,000

Here,

the cash will be directly received by the Etter not by the partnership

Hence,

It will have not effect on the entry.

andre [41]

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

Inelastic demand is when the buyer's demand does not change as much as the price changes. When price increases by 20% and demand decreases by only 1%, demand is said to be inelastic.

Inelastic demand in economics is when people buy about the same amount, whether the price drops or rises. This situation happens with things that people must have, like gasoline and food. Drivers must purchase the same amount even when the price increases.
