The 7 percent preferred stock of Midwest Muffler and Towing is selling for $65 per share. What is the firm's cost of preferred s

Luda [366]

Answer:

e. 10.77 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of preferred stock is shown below:

Cost of preferred stock = Annual dividend paid ÷ Price of preferred stock per share

= 0.07 × $100 ÷ $65

= 10.77%

Simply we divide the annual dividend after considering the par value per share by the price of preferred stock per share so that the correct cost of preferred stock can be computed

Which of the following expresses the value of a levered firm (VL) in the Static Tradeoff model of optimal capital structure [Not

Brut [27]

Answer:

C. VL = VU + PV(Tax Shield) - PV(CFD)

Explanation:

The static trade off theory is a theory of capital structure in corporate finance, first proposed by Alan Kraus and Robert H. Litzenberger. The theory emphasizes the trade-offs between the tax benefits of increasing leverage and the cost of bankruptcy associated with higher leverage. The <u>answer is C</u> as we know relative to the unleveraged firm, leverage provides both costs and benefits. The benefits are the tax shields provided by debt.

Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) Proportion = 41.3%

b) Proportion = 9.18%

c) Proportion = 13.35%

d) Interest payment = $37.28

Explanation:

We have normal distribution with mean = 29 and standard deviation = 9

a) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 31) = $(\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{31 -29}{9})$ = P (Z > 0.22) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 0.22) =

1 - 0.58706 = 0.41294 = 41.3%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 41.3%.

b) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 41) = $(\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{41 -29}{9})$ = P (Z > 1.33) = 1 - P (Z ≤ 1.33) =

1 - 0.90824 = 0.09176 = 9.176% ≈ 9.18%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 31 dollars in interest is 9.18%.

c) The proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than $31 in interest is:

P(X > 19) = $(\frac{X-29}{9}>\frac{19 -29}{9})$ = P (Z < -1.11) = 1 - P(Z ≤ -1.11)) =0.13350 = 13.35%

The proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders that paid less than 19 dollars in interest is 13.35%.

d) Let's suppose this amount of payment is Y:

Therefore P(X > Y) = 0.18

so P(X < Y) = 0.82

Utilizing standard normal approximation

P(X ≤ Y) = $(\frac{X-29}{9}\leq \frac{Y -29}{9})$ = P (Z ≤ $\frac{Y-29}{9}$ ) = 0.82

Form the standard normal table we find that $\frac{Y-29}{9}$ = 0.92

Therefore,

Y - 29 = 9×0.92

Y - 29 = 8.28

Y = 8.28 + 29 = 37.28

Therefore $37.28 of interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

A sports team's owner is given a videotape of his star player physically striking his girlfriend in an elevator, causing her sev

Answer:

The answer is: John Akers would have probably fired the player and made the video public.

Explanation:

Akers firmly believed that ethics were fundamental to economic competitiveness. He argued that without ethical behavior, individuals, corporations and society as a whole couldn´t be economically competitive.

So in this case, he would have simply terminated the players contract without regarding any of the potential downsides for the team.

Allison is debating about hiring Jim for a new position at her firm producing computer software. She estimates that Jim will add

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The maximum wage Allsion would be willing to hire Jim is $500 per a day.

Explanation:

Since Jim's appearance at the firm is estimated to create an additional revenue of $500 per day, for the firm to be profitable from hiring Jim to work for them, the additional cost incurred from hiring him - that is his salary, should not exceed $500 per a day.

Thus, the maximum wage the computer software company is willing to pay Jim is $500 per a day.
