The four-firm ratio is the concentration ratio between the total sales accumulated by the four largest industrial firms to the total sales of all firms present in an industry. This translates to the mathematical expression of
four-firm ratio = (total sales of four largest firms / total sales)
Since, we are given that all 10 firms have the same sales, we let the sales be equal to x.
total sales of four largest firms = 4x
total sales = 10x
The ratio is then,
four-firm ratio = 4/10
Converting this to percentage will yield us an answer of 40%.
Answer:
200
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, the position required if the portfolio has a beta 1 is been calculated as follows .
number of contracts required is
Number of contract =10,000,000/(500×100)
Number of contract =10,000,000/50,000
Number of contract =200.
A long put position is needed because the contracts must provide a positive payoff when the market reduces.
Answer:
Net income allocated to sally is $112000
Explanation:
Sally invested $200000 and Andy invested $100000, which means Andy's investment is half of Sally's investment. So he will receive the half of what Sally will get.
Let
Sally's pay be x
Andy's pay be x/2
Total Net income is 168000 dollars.
So, putting it in an equation, we get
(x+x/2)=168000
x(1+0.5)=168000
x(1.5)=168000
x= 168000/1.5
x=112000
So Sally's share will be $112000
Andy's share will be x/2
=112000/2
=56000
So Andy share will be $56000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Debt = D ÷ (E + D)
= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)
= 0.4444
Now
Weight of equity = 1 - Debt
= 1 - 0.4444
= 0.5556
As per Dividend discount model
Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)
Cost of equity = 11%
Cost of debt
K = N
Let us assume the par value be $1,000
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N
k=1
K =25
$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25
k=1
YTM = 9
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 9 × (1 - 0.21)
= 7.11
WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)
= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556
= 9.27%
As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion
True, Is the correct answer.
