Answer:
The firm after tax cost of equity would be 13.2%
Explanation:
The computation of the firm after tax cost of equity capital is shown below
As we know that
Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
= 8% + 1.3 × (12% - 8%)
= 8% + 1.3 × 4%
= 8% + 5.2%
= 13.2%
Since the marginal tax rate is 0%
So, the firm after tax cost of equity would be 13.2%

Interest Rates) Well-known financial writer Andrew Tobias argues that he can earn 177 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $10 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next twelve weeks. He can either pay $10 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 10 percent discount, and, by doing so, earns the 177 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Do you agree with his analysis? Do you see a problem with his numbers?
Answer:
I disagree and his numbers are clearly wrong.
Explanation:
there are 52 weeks in a year, so the you should consume 52 bottles of wine per year. By the way, $10 per bottle doesn't buy any fine wine, but lets follow the question.
If you buy each wine individually, you will spend $10 x 52 = $520.
If you buy the wine by cases, you will spend $520 x 90% = $468
the difference is clearly not 177%, it only represents $52 or 10%.
Even if you decided to invest your savings per case of wine = $12 x $10 x 10% = $12
his total savings per year = $52 are spread over the year, so you could consider them an annuity of 4 $12 payments and 1 $4 payment. In order for this annuity to represent a 177% gain, which is equivalent to $468 x 177% = $828.36, the interest rate should be extremely high.
FV of an annuity due = payment x FV annuity due factor
$828.36 = $12 x FV annuity due factor
FV annuity due factor = $828.36 / $12 = 69.03
the % earned in 4.3 periods that results in 69.03 is close to 150% per every 12 weeks. This is not a reasonable interest rate.
According to libertarians, the government should redistribute income from rich individuals to poor individuals to achieve a more equal distribution of income.
a. True
b. False

b. False
Explanation:
In the United States of America, the libertarians refers to a group of people or individuals who have the philosophical views of promoting individual freedom and liberty among the people. Thus, the primary political strength, values and ideas of a libertarian is individual freedom and liberty.

Gravity, Inc., needs to raise $50 million to fund its expansion plans. The company will sell shares at a price of $28.40 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 6.5 percent. How many shares need to be sold
Answer:
1,882,956 shares
Explanation:
Amount that company wants to raise = $50,000,000
Price per share in general cash offer = Price per share offered to public
Price per share offered to public = $28.40
Underwriters Spread = 7.5%
Underwriter's commission per share = 6.5% * $28.40 = $1.846
Amount received by company per share = Price per share in general cash offer - Underwriter's commission per share
Amount received by company per share = $28.40 - $1.846
Amount received by company per share = $26.554
Amount that company wants to raise = Number of shares sold * Amount received by company per share
50,000,000 = Number of shares sold * $26.554
Number of shares sold = $50,000,000 / $26.554
Number of shares sold = 1882955.486932289
Number of shares sold = 1,882,956 shares
1. Suppose you borrow money at a nominal interest rate of 14%. At the time you borrow the money, you expect inflation to be 8%. The real interest rate you expect to pay on your loan is______%.
2. Suppose that when you pay back the loan, inflation turned out to be 9%. The real interest rate you actually pay back is_______.
3. Suppose that when you pay back the loan, inflation turned out to be 5%. The real interest rate you actually pay back is______.
4. Think about the case where inflation turned out to be higher than expected. You initially thought inflation was going to be 3%, but it turned out to be 9%. Since the inflation rate turned out to be higher than______expected, then than you both expected.
Answer:
1) 6% , 2) 5% , 3) As inflation rate ise higher than expected inflation rate, real interest rate would be lower than expected real interest rate
Explanation:
Real Interest Rate is the interest rate, which accounts for the impact of inflation.
Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation
1) 14% - 8% = 6%
2) 14% - 9% = 5%
3) In case of variation in expected & actual inflation rate
1 + nominal interest rate = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected inflation rate)
1 + 14% = (1 + r) (1 + 3%)
1.14 = (1 + r) (1.03)
1.14 = 1.03 + 1.03r
0.11 = 1.03r
r = 8.82 {If inflation is higher at 9%}
If inflation could have been at expected 3%, real interest rate could have been 14% - 3% = 11%.
So : As inflation rate turned out to be higher than expected inflation rate, real interest rate turned out to be lower than expected real interest rate

Compute the payback statistic for project B and decide whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 12 percent and the maximum allowable payback is three years.
Time 0 1 2 3 4 5Cash
Flow -$11,000 $3,350 $4,180 $1,520 $0 $1,000
Answer:
The project has no payback period
it should be rejected
Explanation:
Payback period calculate the number of years it would take to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Amount invested = -$11,000
Amounted recovered in the 1st year = -$11,000 + $3,350 = -$7650
Amounted recovered in the 2nd year = -$7650 + $4,180 = -$3470
Amounted recovered in the 3rd year = -$3470 + $1,520 = -$1950
Amounted recovered in the 4th year = -$1950 + 0 = -$1950
Amounted recovered in the 5th year = -$1950 + $1000 = -$950
The amount invested is never recovered. the project isn't profitable and should be rejected

Haiti is a very poor country. Lichtenstein is much smaller geographically and has far fewer people, but it is roughly 70 times richer in terms of per capita GDP. Supposing the following statements are true, which one might explain why Haiti is a little closer to Lichtenstein in terms of standard of living than the official statistics suggest?
a. Health standards in Singapore exceed those in Haiti.
b. Singapore is much more livable in terms of pollution than Haiti.
c. There is more underground market activity in Singapore than in Haiti.
d.. Haiti has more nonmarket production than Singapore.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Standard of living is measured by per capita GDP
Per capita GDP = GDP / population.
If Haiti is a little closer to Lichtenstein in terms of standard of living than the official statistics suggest and Lichtenstein has far fewer people than Haiti, it means that not all of Haiti's output is recorded as GDP
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products

$1,900 = $705 + $705 + $490
Which is 2 years and 8 months ($490/ $705 × 12)
Conclusion :
The project payback period is 2 years and 8 months
The stable dollar assumption is that fluctuations in the value of the dollar are significant and may not be ignored.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
Option b: False
Explanation:
Stable dollar assumption is also called monetary unit assumption.
The monetary unit assumption needs include in the accounting records only transaction data that can be used in terms of money.
This standard requires that only those things that can be expressed in money are included in the accounting records. So, some information for decision makers such as the word customer satisfaction, measurements are NOT reported in the financial statement.

Consider two policies: a tax cut that will last for only one year and a tax cut that is expected to be permanent. True or False: A tax cut that will last for only one year will stimulate greater spending by consumers than a tax cut that is expected to be permanent. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
A short term tax cut will not affect spending as much as a permanent tax cut.
With a short term tax cut, people will know that they will have to go back to paying higher taxes in a short while and so will spend less so that they may be able to afford the higher taxes when they are reimplemented.
If a tax cut is long term however, consumers will spend more because they do not have to worry about having to afford to pay higher taxes after the year expires.

Phil used his rental property for personal use for 7 days and rented it for 63 days. In most cases, what percentage of his expenses are not rental expenses and cannot be deducted on Schedule E?
a. 10%
b. 20%
c. 50%
d. 90%
Answer: a. 10%
Explanation:
The total number of days the property was used:

On June 30, 2021, when Crane Company's stock was selling at $65 per share, its capital accounts were as follows: Capital stock (par value $50; 57000 shares issued) $2850000 Premium on capital stock 570000 Retained earnings 4240000 If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $3420000. $2850000. $7410000. $5700000.
Answer: $2850000
Explanation:
Based on the scenario given in the question, If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be calculated as the number of shares issued multiplied by the percentage of shares declared and the par value. This will be:
= 57,000 × 100% × 50
= $2,850,000
Central Building Company borrowed $15,804 on a 280-day simple interest note to expand their business. The note carried an interest rate of 7.0%. Find the maturity value of the note.
a. $15,888.87
b. $14,943.56
c. $16,664.44
d. $16,676.56
Answer: c. $16,664.44

The interest amount is = Amount * Interest * 280/360
= 15,804 * 7% * 280/360 days
= $860.44
Add that to the amount borrowed;
= 15,804 + 860.44
= $16,664.44
Suppose the economy of Legoland is initially at full employment. Then, government purchases decrease. All else constant, in the short run, the price level in Legoland will _____ and eventually pressure will build for wages to _____ .
Answer: fall; rise
Explanation:
When there is a reduction in the expenditure of the government, this will bring about a reduction in the price level as well as the aggregate demand curve in this case, will shift to the left.
This leads to a reduction in demand and economic growth and in turn, brings about pressure for an increase in wages.
Therefore, all else constant, in the short run, the price level in Legoland will fall and eventually pressure will build for wages to rise.
