Southern Corporation has a capital structure of 40% debt and 60% common equity. This capital structure is expected not to change

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

so cost of capital = 9.9 %

correct option is a 9.9%

Explanation:

given data

capital structure = 40%

common equity = 60%

tax rate = 34%

pretax cost = 8.5%

pretax cost = 10%

market price = $59

Flotation costs = $3 per share

common stock dividend = $3.15

Dividends expected to grow = 7%

to find out

cost of capital if the firm uses bank loans and retained earnings

solution

cost of retained earning = $\frac{dividend* ( 1+growth rate )}{stock price}$ + growth rate ........................1

cost of retained earning = $\frac{3.15 * ( 1+0.07)}{59}$ + 0.07

cost of retained earning =0.1271271186

and

cost of capital will be

cost of capital = weight for debit × ( cost of debit × ( 1 - tax rate ) ) + weight for common stock × cost of common stock

cost of capital = 0.40 × ( 8.5% × ( 1 - 0.34 ) ) + 0.60 × 0.1271271186

cost of capital = 0.0987

so cost of capital = 9.9 %

correct option is a 9.9%

Jed Castanza transfers $90,000 of cash to the JN partnership for a 60 percent interest in the JN partnership. Ned transfers a bu

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Their basis will be 90,000 for Mr Castanza

and 60,000 for Ned

Also Ned will recognize a capital gain for 70,000 when performing the transfer of the property. As his adjusted basis is 30,000 while the property value is 100,000

Explanation:

Mr Castanza

90,000 = 60%

Ned

100,000 - 40,000 = 60,000 = 40%

Total capital

90,000 + 60,000 = 150,000 = 100%

Check for difference:

90,000/150,000 x 60% = 90,000

60,000/150,000 x 40% = 60,000

Their basis will be 90,000 for Mr Castanza

and 60,000 for Ned

Also Ned will recognize a capital gain for 70,000 when performing the transfer of the property. As his adjustedbasis is 30,000 while the property value is 100,000

Justin discounts a 115-day note for $26,000 at 8.5%. the effective rate of interest to the nearest tenth percent is:

lesya692 [45]

8.7%

$26,000 x .085 x 115/360 = $705.97
$26,000 - $705.97 = $25,294.03
$25,294.03 x 115/360 = $8080.04
$705.97/$8080.04 = 8.7%

Assume that a six-firm cartel supplies 500 million units of Whatailsya energy drink at a price of $5.00 per unit. Each firm supp

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The net gain for the firm cheating the cartel is US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million).

Explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this case:

Number of firms that supply Whatailsya energy drink = 6

Amount of production of the cartel of six firms = 500 million units

Price of the energy drink = US$ 5

Amount of production of the firm that decided to break the cartel = 50 million extra units

Price after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

2. Let's find the individual production of each firm before and after the 50 million extra units and the net gains for the cheating firm.

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = Amount of production of the cartel/Number of firms

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 500 million units/6

Individual production of each firm of the cartel = 83.33 million units

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = Individual production * Price of the energy drink

Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units = 83.333 million * 5

Individual sales revenue of each firm before the 50 million extra units = US$ 416.666 million

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 83.333 + 50

New production amount of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million units

Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold = US$ 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = New production amount * Price of the energy drink after the extra production is sold

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = 133.333 million * 4.50

New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 600 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = New sales revenue of the firm cheating the cartel - Individual sales of each firm before the 50 million extra units

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 600 million - 416.666 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = 183.333 million

Net gain of the firm cheating the cartel = US$ 183 million (rounding the answer to the nearest million)

Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:

For the first row in the table RER is 6.

For the second row in the table RER is 9.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table.

Explanation:

Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.

The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.

RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Where, from the question;

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

For the first row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

For the second row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9
