Answer:
The answer is: Yes, the student is right.
Explanation:
Some industries, especially agriculture, work on some unique ways due to their complexity. For instance, the government sets the price floor and the price ceiling for the main crops produced in the country. In order to do this, the government owns and manages huge warehouses and silos.
When the production of crops is higher than usual, the price of that crop will tend to drop because of excessive supply. The government then buys the crop to put a price floor and takes the overstock to its warehouses. That enables the government to control the market so that farmers get a "fair price" for their crops. If the government didn´t do anything, farmers would lose a lot of money and their customers (agricultural corporations) would probably overstock. That at the same time would cause further problems in the future due to lower future sales because the agricultural corporations companies are overstocked.
When farmers have a bad year due to drought or flooding, their production levels will fall, so the price of the crops would rise due to excessive demand. Then the government sells the crops it had stored previously in its warehouses to put a price ceiling. If the government didn´t do this then a lot of poor people would not be able to buy enough quantities of food.
Answer:
a) An increasing number of import quotas
b) Better high-speed rail lines
c) Improvements in telecommunications
d) International trade agreements such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
Explanation:
All of the above applies as in order to increase the international trade.
As with the increase in quotas there is a pressure to increase the imports. Further when there is easy chain of supply even in the international market that is railway facility is smooth and that the telecommunications is also easy.
Further, with increased trade agreements there is provision of reduced tariffs and taxes and accordingly the international exchange is not complicated and is rather smooth.
Answer:
The correct answer is "$ 30.34".
Explanation:
The value of the stock can be computed by the following formula:
⇒ ![\frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 3}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)2} + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 4}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)3} + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 5}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate) 4 } + \frac{1}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)4 }\times [\frac{( Dividend \ in \ year \ 5 (1 + Growth \ rate)} {( Required \ return \ rate - Growth \ rate)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BDividend%20%5C%20in%20%5C%20year%20%5C%203%7D%7B%281%20%2B%20Required%20%5C%20return%20%5C%20rate%292%7D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7BDividend%20%5C%20in%20%5C%20year%20%5C%204%7D%7B%281%20%2B%20Required%20%5C%20return%20%5C%20rate%293%7D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7BDividend%20%5C%20in%20%5C%20year%20%5C%205%7D%7B%281%20%2B%20Required%20%5C%20return%20%5C%20rate%29%204%20%7D%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%20%2B%20Required%20%5C%20return%20%5C%20rate%294%20%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B%28%20Dividend%20%5C%20in%20%5C%20year%20%5C%205%20%281%20%2B%20Growth%20%5C%20rate%29%7D%20%7B%28%20Required%20%5C%20return%20%5C%20rate%20-%20Growth%20%5C%20rate%29%7D%5D)
On putting the values, we get

Answer: 8.23%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will calculate the cost of debt which will be:
= Yield (1-Tax rate)
= 9% × (1-0.34)
= 9% × 0.66
= 5.94%
Then, the Cmcost of preferred stock will be:
= 7/(104-9.40)
= 7/(94.6)
= 7.39%
We will also get the value of the cost of equity which will be:
= (Dividend expected common/Price common) + growth rate
= (2.50/76) + 8%
= 3.29% + 8%
= 11.29%
For Debt:
Cost after tax: 5.94
Weight = 50%
Weighted cost = 5.94 × 50% = 2.97
For Preferred stock:
Cost after tax: 7.39
Weight = 1%
Weighted cost = 7.39 × 10% = 0.74
For Common equity
Cost after tax: 11.29
Weight = 40%
Weighted cost = 11.29 × 40% = 4.52
Weighted average cost of capital = 2.97 + 0.74 + 4.52 = 8.23%
