Answer:
The cost of equity is 16%
Explanation:
The annual rate of return that an investor expects to earn when investing in shares of a company is known as the cost of common equity.
Price of stock = Next dividend / I-g
i = rate of return
g = growth rate
Since Whitewall Tire co. just paid $1.60 dividend, the next dividend will be 1.60(1.02)
11.66 = 1.60(1.02) / (i - 0.02)
We solve for i
i = {1.60(1.02) / 11.66}+ 0.02
i = 0.16
i = 16%
Therefore, the cost of equity is 16%

Consider each of the following events, and discuss the effects they will have on the market clearing price and the demand curve faced by the individual rental store.a. People’s tastes change in favor of going to see more movies at cinemas with their friends and family members.b. National DVD-rental chains open a number of new stores in this market.c. There is a significant increase in the price of downloading movies on the Internet.
Answer:
a. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
b. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
c, price rises, the demand curve moves outward
a. A change in people's taste for going to cinema would reduce the number of people going to movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward. As a result of the inward movement of the demand curve, supply would outstrip demand and prices would fall below $3.50
b. If a National DVD-rental chains opens nationwide, there would be a decrease in demand for DVD movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward and price falls
A rise in the price of downloading movies on the Internet would increase the cost of downloading movies. This would make people less interested in downloading movies. As a result, the demand for DVD movie rentals would increase. The demand curve would shift outward and price would rise as a result.

Consider an industry that is made up of nine firms each with a market share (percent of sales) as follows: a. Firm A: 30% b. Firm B: 20% c. Firms C, D, and E: 10% each d. Firms F, G, H, and J: 5% each What is the value of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and how is the industry categorized?
Answer:
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is 1400 and the industry is categorized as a competitive industry
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is a market indicator that is used to measure how competitive the companies or firms in an industry is. It tells whether the industry is highly competitive or monopolistic.
It is obtained by adding the square of the market share of all the firms in an industry. That is,
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = s1 + s2 + s3 +....... sn
(where s = market share of individual firms in an industry.)
From the question,
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = (30)² + (20)² + 10)² +(10)² + (10)²+ (5)²
+ (5)²+ (5)² + (5)²
= 600 + 400 + 100 +100 + 100 + 25 + 25 +
+ 25 + 25
= 1400
An industry with an Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of less than 1500 units is categorized as a COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.
One with an index of between 1500 to 2500 is considered as moderately competitive.
While an industry with higher values of HHI tends towards a monopoly.

c) Both purely competitive and monopolistic firms are "price takers."

The fastener division of Southern Fasteners manufactures zippers and then sells them to customers for $8 per unit. Its variable cost is $3 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $1.50. Management would like the fastener division to transfer 12,000 of these zippers to another division within the company at a price of $3. The fastener division could avoid $0.20 per zipper of variable packaging costs by selling internally. Determine the minimum transfer price.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the minimum transfer price is shown below:
a. For Not operating at full capacity
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
= $3 - $0.20 + 0
= $2.80
b. For operating at full capacity
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
= $2.80 + $8 - $3
= $2.80 + $5
= $7.80
We simply applied the above formulas

Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 25% debt and 75% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its before-tax cost of debt is 13%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. The current stock price is P0 = $22.00. The last dividend was D0 = $3.00, and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of common equity and its WACC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
cost of common equity is 18.64%.
WACC is 15.93 %.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity is the return that is required by providers of Capital in form of Common Stocks.
This can be determined using the Growth Model as the information permits use of such method.
Cost of Equity = Current Dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate
= $3.00 / $22.00 + 0.05
= 0.1864 or 18.64%
WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) + Kp × (P/V)
where,
Ke = cost of equity
= 18.64%
E/V = Weight of Equity
= 75%
Kd = cost of debt
= Interest × (1 - market rate)
= 0.13 × (1 - 0.40)
= 0.078 or 7.80 %
D/V = Weight of Debt
= 25%
Therefore,
WACC = 18.64% × 75% + 7.80 % × 25%
= 15.93 %
Regulation SHO:________. I. requires every sell order to be marked either ""long sale"" or ""short sale"" II. requires every buy order to be marked either ""long purchase"" or ""short purchase"" III. places limits on ""naked"" short sales of equity securities IV. places limits on ""covered"" short sales of equity securities"
