Answer: Option D
Explanation: Prospecting is the first step in a selling process. Under this the sales person identifies the potential customers and communicate with them to covert them into current customers.
Similarly, qualifying refers to analyzing the characteristics of a lead to determine if it qualifies as a prospect.
Hence from the above we can conclude that Kylie is performing the function of prospecting and qualifying.
Solution:
Let the amount invested in scheme which yields 9% be x and amount invested in scheme which yields 13% be y.
x + y = 180000 --equation 1
0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation 2
Balancing the equations, multiply equation 1 with 0.09 and equation 2 with 1,
0.09x + 0.09y = 16200 -equation 3
0.09x + 0.13y = 18000 --equation4
Subtracting equation 4 from 3,
-0.04y = -1800
y = 45000
Now putting value of y in equation 1,
x + 45000 = 180000
x = 135000
The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 9% = $135,000
The amount to be invested in scheme which yields 13% = $45,000
Answer:
8.66%
Explanation:
The computation of the real rate of return is shown below:
Real rate of return = {( 1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ ( 1+ inflation rate)} - 1
= {( 1 + 11.65%) ÷ ( 1 + 2.75%)} - 1
= {(1.1165) ÷ (1.0275)} - 1
= 1.086 - 1
= 0.0866 or 8.66%
We simply apply the formula in which the numerator is nominal rate of return and denominator is inflation rate of return
The company's external equity comes from those funds raised from public issuance of shares or rights. The cost of external equity is the minimum rate of return which the shareholders supply new funds <span>by </span>purchasing<span> new shares to prevent the decline of the market value of the shares. To compute the cost of external equity, we should use this formula:</span>
Ke<span> = (DIV 1 / Po) + g</span>
Ke<span> = cost of external equity</span>
DIV 1 = dividend to be paid next year
Po = market price of share
g = growth rate
In the problem, the estimated dividend to be paid next year is $1.50. The market price is $18.50 and the growth rate is 4%.
<span>Substituting the given to the formulas, we need to divide $1.50 by $18.50 giving us the result of 8.11% plus the growth rate; this would yield to the result of 12.11% cost of external equity.</span>
