Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of preferred stock, the following formula should be used which is shown below

= Annual dividend based on preferred stock ÷ (Price per share × Flotation cost)

where,

Flotation cost = 1- rate

                      = 1- 4% = 0.96

= $9.50 ÷ ($102.50 × 0.96)

= $9.50 ÷ $98.4

= 9.65%

The flotation cost should be deducted because it is a one time expense. Thus, it would be minus from price per share.

Hence, the company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

D1 = $4.86

D2 = $5.25

D3 = $5.67

D4 = $6.12

D5 = $6.61

D6 =  $6.85

Explanation:

Dividend paid by Indigo Ink Supply at year 0 = Do =  $4.5

Growth rate for the first five years = 8%

Growth rate for the sixth year = 3.6%

The dividend paid out for the next six years are,

D1 = Do(1+ growth rate)

D1 = $4.5(1+8%) = $4.86

D2 = $4.86(1+8%) = $5.25

D3 = $5.25(1+8%) = $5.67

D4 = $5.67(1+8%) = $6.12

D5 = $6.12(1+8%) = $6.61

D6 = $6.61(1+3.6%) = $6.85

Tracy consumes dress shoes​ (D) and casual Crocs​ (C). Her marginal utility from consuming casual Crocs is MU Subscript Upper CM
Llana [10]

Answer:

The optimal bundle is 6 pairs of dress shoes and 3 pairs of Crocs.

Explanation:

From the question,

Allowance (M) = $450; Price of dress shoes, Pd = $50; Price of crocs, Pc = $50

Note: MRS-price ratio, MUC- marginal utility from consuming casual Crocs ,MUD- marginal utility from consuming dress shoes

Optimal bundle is determined where MRS = Price ratio

MRS = MUC/MUD = 20DC/10C2 = 2D/C

Price ratio = Pd/Pc = 50/50 = 1

So, 2D/C = 1

       Therefore, C = 2D

Budget constraint:  M = Pd*D + Pc*C

So, 50D + 50*(2D) = 450

      50D + 100D = 150D = 450

So, D = 450/150 = 3

C = 2D = 2*3 = 6
