Ruben Delgado was making wooden pens and pencils, which had unique engravings, as a hobby until Simon Yoder recognized Ruben's t

alent. Simon immediately ordered 250 pens and pencils of various styles to be displayed in his shop's showcase. Within three months, the wooden pencils were a hit with all students! Ruben Delgado had never thought of marketing his talent, but Simon's enthusiasm and the recent sales were enough to change his mind. With limited resources, Ruben contacted three additional specialty shops within 100 miles that were situated near schools. He explained his manufacturing processes and engraving options to each. All three shop owners placed a trial order. Within two months, just prior to the holiday season, each shop owner placed an additional order. Ruben was ecstatic! "I figured business would slow down after that," Ruben stated, "but in February I was contacted by Elmore Distributors. At that point, I had to make a huge decision about how far I wanted to go with this business." Elmore Distributors provides products for school fundraisers in a seven-state area. Ruben was offered a two-year contract and immediate inclusion in Elmore’s promotional flyer. Ruben Delgado accepted the offer and, along with it, the responsibility to produce thousands of wooden pens and pencils. "I had to get a grip on the magnitude of this project," Ruben added. He decided to place his major focus on the large contract with Elmore. However, to avoid placing his total emphasis with one customer, Ruben continued nurturing his four previously established accounts without targeting any additional customers. "At this point, I had set up an assembly line in a rented building," Ruben explained. "I had to hire three full-time employees to work the line while I managed the customer orders and purchased materials." Ruben paused, "But I can’t take the Elmore project for granted. It might not always be there. I’ll have to have a good alternate plan if that day comes." In the scenario, Ruben has segmented his market based on ________. A) geography B) benefits sought C) occasion D) degree of loyalty E) demographics

Each of two stocks, C and D, are expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming year. The expected growth rate of dividends is
Stels [109]

Answer:

Intrinsic value of Stock C is 300

Explanation:

given data

expected pay dividend = $3

growth rate of dividends = 9%

stock C require a rate of return = 10%

stock D require a rate of return = 13%

solution

we get here intrinsic value by the DDM method

intrinsic value = Upcoming Dividend ÷ ( Required rate of return - Growth rate of stock )  .................1

intrinsic value = \frac{3}{(0.10-0.09)}    

intrinsic value = \frac{3}{0.01}  

intrinsic value = 300

so intrinsic value of Stock C is 300

inn [45]

Answer:

A. Assuming that employees would understand the content of the PowerPoint slides

Explanation:

One of the most common mistakes that can be made is assuming that the receiver on the other end of the communication chain would understand quite well, what message, you as the sender, is passing across.

In the scenario cited in the question above, the new benefit offerings that have been developed after the overhauling, of which Mike has taken his time to explain in a power point presentation just few months before employees would be required to enroll for the program, must have been misunderstand by the employees. The multiple emails reveals that the employees do not really understand the content, and this comes as a surprised to Mike. We can infer that Mike must have made the mistake of assuming that the employees would understand the content of the PowerPoint slides.

Peter's Audio has a yield to maturity on its debt of 7.8 percent, a cost of equity of 12.4 percent, and a cost of preferred stoc
OleMash [197]

Answer:

= 9.5%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital can be computed as follows:

After tax cost of debt :

= Before-tax cost of debt (1-T)

= 7.8% ×  (1-0.21)

= 6%

Market value

Equity = 105× 22= 2,310.00

Preferred stock = 25× 45= 1,125.00              

Bonds= 98% × 1500=<u>1,470.00</u>

Type                   cost    Market value         Cost × equity

Equity               12.4       2,310.00                  286.44

Preferred stock  8%          1,125.00              90.00

Bond                6%        <u>1,470.00 </u>              <u>1 90.58 </u>

                                        4,905.00         467.02

WACC = (467.02/4,905.00 ) × 100

          = 9.5%

Deep Mines has 43,800 shares of common stock outstanding with a beta of 1.54 and a market price of $51 a share. There are 10,000
Zanzabum

Solution:

MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding

MV of equity=51*43800

                    =2233800

MV of Bond=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par

MV of Bond=1000*5000*0.96

                   =4800000

MV of Preferred equity=Price*number of shares outstanding

MV of Preferred equity=83*10000

                                    =830000

MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond+ MV of Preferred equity

                 =2233800+4800000+830000

                 =7863800

Weight of equity = MV of Equity/MV of firm

Weight of equity = 2233800/7863800

W(E)=0.2841

Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm

Weight of debt = 4800000/7863800

W(D)=0.6104

Weight of preferred equity = MV of preferred equity/MV of firm

Weight of preferred equity = 830000/7863800

W(PE)=0.1055

Cost of equity

As per CAPM  , Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium)

                       Cost of equity % = 3.6 + 1.54 * (7.5)

                       Cost of equity % = 15.15

Cost of debt

                K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

                  k=1

                 K =13x2

960 =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^13x2

                  k=1

YTM = 8.5146699304

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 8.5146699304*(1-0.21)

                                   = 6.726589245016

cost of preferred equity

cost of preferred equity = Preferred dividend/price*100

cost of preferred equity = 7/(83)*100

                                       =8.43

WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)+Cost of preferred equity*W(PE)

WACC=6.73*0.6104+15.15*0.2841+8.43*0.1055

WACC =9.3%
