Business
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
7 0
Example: A company spends $5 million to buy prime real estate on which to build a new manufacturing factory. The land is worth $5 million. This is not financial leverage because the corporation is not using borrowed funds to purchase the land.
If the same corporation spent $2.5 million of its own money and $2.5 million in borrowed funds to purchase the same piece of real estate, the company is utilizing financial leverage.

Define: the utilization of fixed expenditures to increase the expected risk and potential return

Explanation: When purchasing assets, the corporation has three alternatives for financing: stock, debt, and leases. Apart from equity, the remaining choices have fixed costs that are lower than the expected income from the asset.

Jaycee Jeans sold 40 pairs of jeans at a price of $40. When it lowered its price to $20, the quantity sold increased to 60 pairs
grigory [225]

Answer:

The answer is: A) 0.6

Explanation:

First we will calculate the midpoint for units:

  • change in units = 40 - 60 = -20
  • average units = (40 + 60) / 2 = 50
  • midpoint for units = 20 / 50 = 0.4 (we only use positive numbers)

Now we will calculate the midpoint for price:

  • change in price = 40 - 20 = 20
  • average price = (40 + 20) / 2 = 30
  • midpoint for units = 20 / 30 = 0.67

Finally we divide 0.4 / 0.67 = 0.6

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The maximum that one should be willing to pay for this stock today is $21.38

Explanation:

The constant dividend paying company is the one whose dividend growth remains zero or unchanged. The zero growth model of the DDM is used to calculate the price or value of stock today of such a stock. This kind of stock is just like a perpetuity as it pays a fixed amount after fixed intervals of time forever.

The formula for price of such a stock or zero growth model is:

Price = Dividend / r

Price = 3.1 / 0.145  

Price = $21.379 rounded off to $21.38
