Hook Industries’s capital structure consists solely of debt and common equity. It can issue debt at , and its common stock currently pays a $2.00 dividend per share . The stock’s price is currently $24.75, its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% per year, its tax rate is 35%, and its WACC is 13.95%. What percentage of the company’s capital structure consists of debt?
Answer: weight of debt is 20%
Explanation:
The question is incomplete we need the cost of debt before tax. lets assume cost of debt (Rd) before tax is 11%
Weight debt = Wd
weight of equity = We
tax = 35%
dividends = d = $2
price = P = 24.75
WACC = (We x Re) + (Wd x Rd)(1 - t)
cost of equity
using Gordon growth model
required rate of return = (D(1+g)/P) + g
required rate of return = (2 x (1+0.07)/24.75) +0.07
required rate of return(Re) = 15.65%
calculating weight of debt
WACC = (We x Re) + (Wd x Rd)
WACC = (1 -Wd) x Re + (Wd x Rd)
O.1395 = (1 - Wd)(0.1565) + (Wd )(0.11)(1-0.35)
0.1395 =0.1565 - 0.1565Wd + 0.0715Wd
0.1395 = 0.1565 - 0.085Wd
Wd = (0.1565 - 0.1395)/0.085
Wd = 0.2 = 0.2 x 100 = 20%
weight of debt is 20%

Answer:
TRIAL
Explanation:
The adoption process for a new product is the mental process through which an individual passes from first learning about an innovation to final adoption.
Consumers go through 5 stages in the process of adopting a new product. These are: product awareness, product interest, product evaluation, product trial, and product adoption.
During the product trial, consumer tries the new product on a small scale to improve his or her estimate of its value.
If the consumer is satisfied with the product, he or she enters the adoption stage, deciding to use the new product fully and regularly.

The acquiring corporation does not have to recognize any gain or loss when it issues stock in exchange for property, regardless of whether a transaction is a tax-free or taxable transaction.
Illiquid currencies tend to exhibit ________ volatile exchange rate movements, as the equilibrium prices of their currencies adjust to ________ changes in supply and demand conditions.
Answer:
B) More; even minor
Explanation:
Illiquid (or exotic) currencies are foreign currencies that are not generally traded in exchange markets. They trade at very low volumes and are usually extremely volatile since both the demand and supply is very limited. Since there are very few suppliers and consumers of exotic currencies, any additional transaction can result in large changes in their value.
Final answer:
Illiquid currencies are more vulnerable to more volatile exchange rate movements due to rapid adjustments in supply and demand, influenced by speculation, rates of return, and inflation.
Explanation:
Illiquid currencies tend to exhibit more volatile exchange rate movements, as the equilibrium prices of their currencies adjust to frequent and sudden changes in supply and demand conditions. The foreign exchange market is influenced by various factors including speculation, differences in rates of return, and relative inflation which can affect the strength of a currency. Countries with higher rates of return attract money from abroad, strengthening their currency, whereas those with lower rates of return may see their currency weaken as investors convert to other currencies with higher returns.

If damaged goods can be sold at a reduced price, they are included in inventory. A loss in value is reported in the period when goods are damaged or become obsolete. Damaged goods are not included in inventory if they cannot be sold. Net realizable value of damaged goods is determined solely by the sales price of the good.
Answer:
Explanation: Damaged goods are goods that do not meet up to the required standards of items to be sold and below are ways damaged goods are treated in the books:
1. Damaged goods are included in inventory at their net realizable value.
2. If damaged goods can be sold at a reduced price, they are included in inventory.
3.Damaged goods are not included in inventory if they cannot be sold
4. A loss in value is reported in the period when goods are damaged or become obsolete.
The damaged or obsolete goods are accounted for in inventory based on their net realizable value, taking into consideration both the expected selling price and any additional costs associated with selling the goods.
Any losses in value are recognized in the period when the impairment occurs.
The correct statements regarding damaged or obsolete goods are as follows:
1. **Damaged goods are included in inventory at their net realizable value.** - This statement is correct.
Damaged goods that are still expected to be sold are included in inventory at their net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price minus any further costs needed to make the sale (e.g., repair costs).
2. **If damaged goods can be sold at a reduced price, they are included in inventory.** - This statement is correct.
If damaged goods can be sold at a reduced price, they are included in inventory at their net realizable value, reflecting the lower expected selling price.
3. **A loss in value is reported in the period when goods are damaged or become obsolete.** - This statement is correct.
When goods become damaged or obsolete, a loss in value is recognized in the period when the impairment occurs.
This loss is typically reported as an expense in the income statement.
4. **Damaged goods are not included in inventory if they cannot be sold.** - This statement is correct.
If damaged goods are not expected to be sold, they are not included in inventory.
Instead, they are written off as a loss.
5. **Net realizable value of damaged goods is determined solely by the sales price of the good.** - This statement is incorrect.
The net realizable value of damaged goods is determined by considering the estimated selling price, but it also takes into account any further costs required to make the sale, such as repair costs or marketing expenses.

Valley, Inc. has 9,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock has a $90 par value, a 14% dividend rate, and is noncumulative. If Valley has sufficient funds to pay dividends, what is the total amount of dividends that will be paid out to preferred stockholders?
Answer:
The dividends payout to preferred stockholders is $113,400 as shown below.
Explanation:
The total dividends payable to holders of preferred shares can be computed thus:
Preferred shares dividends=9000*$90*14%
Preferred shares dividends =$113,400
Preferred shareholders have prior claims to dividends ahead of ordinary shareholders,but after bondholders' interest payments have been settled.
The same way they also have precedence in the distribution of company's assets before ordinary shareholders upon the liquidation of the company.
The downside is that they cannot share in excess profits after payment of dividends as they are part-owners of the company unlike ordinary shareholders.
Final answer:
The total amount of dividends paid to Valley, Inc.'s preferred stockholders is $113,400, calculated by multiplying the par value ($90) by the dividend rate (14%) to get the dividend per share and then multiplying that by the total number of shares (9,000).
Explanation:
Valley, Inc. has 9,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding with a $90 par value and a 14% dividend rate. The dividends for preferred stockholders are calculated as a percentage of the par value. Since the stock is noncumulative, the total dividend amount only pertains to the current period, without regard to any previous unpaid dividends.
To calculate the total amount of dividends paid to preferred stockholders, the following steps are involved:
Multiply the par value ($90) by the dividend rate (14%) to find the dividend per shareMultiply the dividend per share by the total number of preferred shares outstanding (9,000)In this case:
$90 (par value) x 14% (dividend rate) = $12.60 (dividend per share)$12.60 x 9,000 (shares) = $113,400 (total dividends to be paid)

Answer:
Amount that Bank A can lend = (115 - 11.5) = $103.5 million
Explanation:
Bank A has checkable deposits of $100 million, vault cash equaling $1 million and deposits at the Fed (reserves) equaling $14 million. If the required reserve rate is ten percent what is the maximum amount Bank A could lend
Reserve requirement is the rate that banks must keep in reserve and are not allowed to lend.
Total amount with Bank A = $100 + $1 + $14 = $115 million

Amount that Bank A can lend = (115 - 11.5) = $103.5 million
An FHA-insured loan in the amount of $57,500 at a 6 ½% interest rate for 30 years was closed on March 17. The first monthly payment is not due until May 1. If the interest is paid monthly in arrears, how much pre-paid interest does the buyer owe at closing? (Use a 360-day year)
Answer: $145.32
Explanation:
$57500 loan × 6.5/100
$ 57500 ×0.065 =$3737.50 annual interest
Monthly interest = 3737.50 ÷ 12 month
= $ 311.45

= $311.45 ÷30
= $10.38
So, from March 17 to May 1 = 14days
14×$10.38 = $145.32
Pre-paid Premium interest buyer owe at closing:
⇒$57500 loan × 6.5/100
⇒$ 57500 ×0.065 =$3737.50 annual interest
⇒Monthly interest = 3737.50 ÷ 12 month
= $ 311.45
⇒Daily interest = monthly interest ÷ 30 days
= $311.45 ÷30
= $10.38
⇒So, from March 17 to May 1 = 14days

Both John and Susan work and do not currently need additional income. They have determined they want to conservatively invest so that they will have funds for their childrens' college in about 12-15 years. Which of the following investments would best meet their goal? A) Common Stocks.B) Laddered Treasury Notes.C) Laddered Zero-Coupon Bonds.D) Preferred Stocks.
Answer:
C)
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that from the available choices the best option would be Laddered Zero-Coupon Bonds. Mainly due to the fact that they offer various different maturities during the years that John and Susan's children will be partaking college. Unlike T-Notes which only offer maturities of up to 10 years not 12-15 years.
The best investment for the Smiths would be Laddered Treasury Notes as they provide a balance of safety and yield, with lesser risk compared to stocks, also the laddering strategy assists with managing interest rate and reinvestment risk.
Explanation:In this context, the best investment option for John and Susan Smith for a conservative approach to saving for their children's college education in 12-15 years would be B) Laddered Treasury Notes. This is due to the fact that common stocks (A) and preferred stocks (D) are typically more volatile and thus riskier investments. On the other hand, laddered zero-coupon bonds (C) do not provide periodic interest, which is not as suitable for future planning purposes as Treasury Notes. Laddered Treasury Notes offer a balance of safety, as they are backed by the U.S. government, and yield, as they provide semi-annual interest payments. Furthermore, the laddering strategy helps in managing interest rate and reinvestment risk which is ideal for the couple's requirement of a steady and reliable growth of their savings.

This phase, often termed as beta testing or market testing, involves evaluating the prototype under real-world conditions to gather feedback on its performance, usability, and any issues or improvements from an end-user perspective. This step is crucial as it provides valuable insights that cannot be fully anticipated or replicated in a controlled in-house environment. The feedback collected from this phase should then be analyzed and used to further refine the product before proceeding to full-scale production and launch.
During the market testing phase, it is essential to set clear objectives, select a representative sample of potential users, and plan how the feedback will be collected and analyzed. This step not only helps in identifying potential market acceptance and demand but also in uncovering any usability issues or additional refinements needed to meet customer expectations. It bridges the gap between theoretical design and practical usability, ensuring that the final product will meet the needs of its target audience effectively.
A datacenter recently experienced a breach. When access was gained, an RF device was used to access an air-gapped and locked server rack. Which of the following would BEST prevent this type of attack?
A. Faraday cage
B. Smart cards
C. Infrared detection
D. Alarms
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Faraday cage .
Explanation:
A Faraday cage is a metal box that protects against static electric fields. It owes its name to the physicist Michael Faraday, who built one in 1836. They are used to protect against electric shock, since inside the electric field is null.
The operation of the Farday cage is based on the properties of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium. When the metal box is placed in the presence of an external electric field, the positive charges remain in the network positions; electrons, however, which in a metal are free, begin to move.
Answer:A. Faraday cage.
Explanation: Faraday cage is a kind of shield made up of conducting wires, Faraday's cage or shield is named after Michael Faraday who invented it in the year 1836.
Faraday cage is used to protect sensitive electronic equipment such as RF receivers) from external electromagnetic rays such as radio frequency interference (RFI) usually during testing or alignment of the device.
Faraday cage has also been used to protect equipment and people from Electric current and Damage.
For a period of time, Energizer Batteries used mock commercials for seemingly boring, mundane products- A few secondsinto the mock commercial, viewers heard the distinctive drumbeat of the Energizer Bunny before it marched across thescreen. Several viewers said that when they heard the drums, they looked at and attended to the commercial because theyliked the bunny. However, over time, viewers stopped paying attention to the commercial- What theory suggests that if astimulus doesn’t change, over time we adapt or habituate to it and begin to notice it less?A. Adaptation level theoryB. Dualocoding theoryC. Expectation theoryD. Wearoout theoryE. Overoexposure theory
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the theory being mentioned in this scenario would be Adaption Level Theory. This theory describes the tendency that individuals have to be able to rapidly adapt to new situations, until that behavior or situation becomes normal to them, thus noticing it a lot less compared to when it was first introduced.
Suppose that in 1984 the total output in a single-good economy was 7000 buckets of chicken. Also suppose that in 1984 each bucket of chicken was priced at $10. Finally, assume that in 2000 the price per bucket of chicken was $16 and that 22,000 buckets were produced. Determine the GDP price index for 1984, using 2000 as the base year. By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2000
Answer: GDP price index is 62.5, percentage price level rise is 60%.
Explanation: The GDP price index will be calculated by dividing the 1984 price by the 2000 price and multiplying by 100 thus:
10/16 X 100 = 62.5.
Therefore the GDP price index is 62.5.
To calculated percentage change using the price index, we have:
((100-62.5)/62.5) X 100
= (37.5/62.5) X 100
= 0.6 X 100
= 60%.
We can as well use another method:
((16-10)/10) X 100
= (6/10) X 100
= 0.6 X 100
= 60%
GN Corp. and BC Inc. are two competing firms in the same industry. GN Corp.'s tangible assets are valued at $15 billion and its intangible assets are valued at $35 billion. BC Inc.'s tangible assets are valued at $5 billion and its intangible assets are valued at $45 billion. What can be concluded from this information
Answer: It is likely that BC Inc. is better enabled than GN Corp to gain and sustain a competitive advantage.
Explanation: Since BC Inc.'s intangible assets are valued at $45 billion more than GN corp, hence they are better enabled to gain and sustain competitive advantage.
An organization hired a highly qualified accounts payable manager who had been terminated from another organization for alleged wrongdoing. Six months later, the manager diverted US $12,000 by sending duplicate payments of invoices to a relative. A control that might have prevented this situation is to
adequately check prior employment background for all new employees
Answer:
The correct answer is what you have provided,that is adequately checking prior employment background for all new employees
Explanation:
Ensuring that background checks are conducted on all newly recruited employees would have been the saving grace.
Besides, asking questions concerning the reason an employee left previous employers sometimes gives direction on which employers should be written to.
Also,some employers even wait for the results of background checks before new recruits are finally given letters of appointment,in other words, these efforts are geared towards ensuring new employees are people of integrity,trust and honesty.
