Answer: 9.31%

Explanation:

Given: Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of 0.89.

⇒ Beta = 0.89

Risk-free rate = 2.93 percent

Market risk premium = 7.20 percent

Formula: Cost of Equity = [ Risk free rate + (Beta) × ( Market risk premium) ]

Substitute all values, we get

Cost of Equity =  [ 2.9 + (0.89) × ( 7.20) ]%

= [2.9+6.41]%

= 9.31%

Hence, the company's cost of equity is 9.31%.

Simora [160]

Answer: $40

Explanation:

First find the required return using CAPM;

Required return = Riskfree rate + beta * (Market return - riskfree rate)

= 6% + 0.5 * (13% - 6%)

= 9.5%

Then use DDM to determine intrinsic value;

= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

= 5 / (9.5% - (-3%))

= $40

This means that he will pawn his watch to a pawnbroker, who will pay him the entire sum immediately, without having to use monthly installments or something like that. A single payment loan refers to the payment of the entire principal sum at that particular moment when the loan is taken.

Heather deposited $1,700 at her local credit union in a savings account at the rate of 9.8% paid as simple interest. She will ea
Bumek [7]

Answer:  $3865.8

Explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

I=Prt, where P is the initial amount deposited , r is the rate of interest in decimal and t is the time period in years.

Given : P= $1700      ;    r= 9.8%=0.098     ; t=13 years

Then , the simple interest earned in 13 years will be :-

I=1700\times0.098\times13=2165.8

Now, the combined amount = P+I =$1700+$2165.8= $3865.8

Hence, the credit union would owe Heather $3865.8 in 13 years.
