Answer:
WACC = 16.18%
Explanation:
cost of equity (Re):
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
$22.35 = ($2.45 x 1.092) / (Re - 9.2%)
$22.35 = $2.6754 / (Re - 9.2%)
Re - 9.2% = $2.6754 / $22.35 = 11.97%
Re = 11.97% + 9.2% = 21.17%
after tax cost of debt:
YTM = {130 + [(1,000 - $1,181.96)/ 20]} / [(1,000 + $1,181.96)/ 2] = 120.902 / 1,090.98 = 11.08%
after tax cost of debt = 11.08% x (1 - tax rate) = 11.08% x 0.6 = 6.65%
cost of preferred stocks = $7.50 / $89.25 = 8.40%
WACC = (0.65 x 21.17%) + (0.05 x 8.4%) + (0.3 x 6.65%) = 13.76% + 0.42% + 2% = 16.18%
In February, a homeowner contracted with a general contractor to have a basement storage space converted to a sauna, but never paid for the work. The homeowner stopped making mortgage payments in June. The owner is two years delinquent in property taxes to the county. The state gives mechanics' liens priority. If all of these creditors obtain judgments against the owner in November, what will be the priority of their liens (first to last)
Answer:
Generally real estate liens are prioritized following a temporal order, from first to last. This applies to all liens except taxes. Taxes are always first and they are collected before any other lien in the event of a foreclosure.
In this case, the following priority would go to the mechanic's lien from the the general contractor (as a result from court order), then the mortgage, and finally the other creditors.

In what country do the three largest shareholders control, on average, about 60 percent of the shares of a public company?
a. Great Britain
b. Italy
c. United States
d. Canada
Answer:
b. Italy
Explanation:
Even though this % doesn't apply to all corporations, it is still a very small number of shareholders that control corporations (and their board) on average. We can compare this situation to the American normality, where any shareholder that owns 5% or more of a large corporation is considered a major shareholder and must report himself/herself to the SEC as such.
In the US, many of the corporations would be considered closed corporations. The smaller the number of shareholders with large decision power, the less small shareholders can do.

Becker Industries is considering an all equity capital structure against one with both debt and equity. The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
Answer:
The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200
Explanation:
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
EPS = Earnings per share
I = interest
n = number of equity shares
n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2
n1=30,000
n2= 15,000
Break-even EBIT level is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.
Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is: EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2
EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)
EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600
2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT
2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200
EBIT= $47,200

D. The statement of cash flows is the only financial statement that cannot be manipulated.
Answer: The statement of cash flows is the only financial statement that cannot be manipulated
Explanation:
The cash flow statement is used to know how much cash is coming into and going out of a business.
The statement of cash flows shows the adjustments that can be made to the net income to calculate cash flow from operations.
The assumption that the statement of cash flows is the only financial statement that cannot be manipulated is wrong.

Suppose that in a month the price of oranges increases from $.75 to $1. At the same time, the quantity of oranges demanded decreases from 100 to 80. The price elasticity of demand for oranges (calculated using the initial value formula, also known as the simple elasticity formula) is:_______A 0.6. B. 0.75. C. 025. D. 20.
Answer:
Option A is correct
Price elasticity of demand =0.6
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
% change in demand = (100-80)/100 × 100 = 20%
% change in price =(0.75-1)/0.75 × 100 = 33.33%
PED = 20%/33.33% = 0.600
Price elasticity of demand =0.6

For February, the cost components of a picture frame include $0.45 for the glass, $0.68 for the wooden frame, and $0.95 for assembly. The assembly desk and tools cost $500. Two hundred fifty frames are expected to be produced in the coming year. What cost function best represents these costs?
Answer: C(x) = 2.08 + 500x
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost component of picture frame :
Glass = $0.45
Wooden frame = $0.68
Assembly = $0.95
Assembly desk and tools = $500
Using the linear cost function :
C(x) = mx + b
C(x) = total cost
b = fixed cost
mx = variable cost
b = cost of glass + wooden frame + assembly
b = $(0.45 + 0.68 + 0.95) =$2.08
mx = (cost of assembly desk and tools * number produced) = 500x
C(x) = 2.08 + 500x

Wealth generating activities always:
a. produce positive externalities to society
b. produce gains for one party
c. increase wealth for everyone

There is a different short-run Phillips curve for every level of the ___________ inflation rate. The inflation rate at which the short-run Phillips curve intersects the long-run Phillips curve equals the ___________ inflation rate.\
Answer: expected; expected
Explanation:
The Phillips curve is an economic concept whereby it is stated that there is a stable and inverse relationship between inflation and the unemployment in an economy.
According to this theory, inflation is as a result of economic growth and this will lead to reduction in unemployment.
There is a different short-run Phillips curve for every level of the expected inflation rate. The inflation rate at which the short-run Phillips curve intersects the long-run Phillips curve equals the expected inflation rate.
Liam is willing to buy the last ticket to the avant premier of Star Wars for $15, while Alexander is willing to pay $20. Liam is first in line and buys a ticket for $15. Liam could sell his ticket to Alexander for $18, but he can't because of government regulation preventing the reselling of tickets. The regulation, then, is causing:
Answer:
Potential total surplus to increase.
Explanation:
As we know that:
Producer Surplus = Market value - Minimum price to sell
This means that for Liam:
Market value at which he can sell the ticket was $18 and the minimum price was $15
By putting values, we have:
Liam's surplus = $18 - $15 = $3
Now
Consumer Surplus = Consumer willing to Pay - Consumer Paid
For Alexander, the amount he was willing to pay was $20 and what he actually paid was $18 if the regulation hasn't intervened.
Alexander's surplus = $20 - $18 = $2
This means that the regulation prevents the increase in the potential total surplus and this has increased the dead weight loss of $5.
