Answer:
WACC for A: 9.05%
WACC for B: 9.50%
WACC for C: 12.20%
WACC for D: 12.65%
Explanation:
WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)
Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%
Thus WACC for a division will be equal: 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).
Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.
Answer:
Explanation:
Task oriented, effective, group cohesiveness, neutrolize.
Why these options were chosen?
We can see from Jedida's behavior that she is task oriented, because the first thing she did when coming to new employment place is scheduling a meeting.
In a lot of circumstances such behavior could harm the trust and relationship between manager and the team.
However it is said that the team is very close and know each other for a long time. So, such cohesiveness can neutrolize this leadership behavior.

Answer:
E) Oil imports declined as countries exporting oil reduced supply.
Explanation:
Oil is extremely important for industrialized nations and since Euphrasia is a mixed open economy, we can assume that it is an industrialized nation. Oil has become the most important energy source for more than 60 years and is the raw material for manufacturing plastic.
During the 1970s and early 1980s the American economy was shattered by an increase in the price of foreign oil and a decrease in its domestic production levels. The importance of oil is also why so many modern wars have been fought over oil production and reserves.
Answer:
a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13
EPS = $3.60
Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80
Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50
Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12
Growth rate = r x b
Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065
Po= D1/Ke-g
Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065
Po = $1.80/0.055
Po = $32.73
P/E ratio = <u>Current market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>
$3.60
P/E ratio = 9.09
b. ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)
ER(S) = 5 + 9.6
ER(S) = 14.6%
Explanation:
In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.
In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.
