Question

Rose has preferred stock selling for 99 percent of par that pays a 9 percent annual coupon. What would be Rose's component cost of preferred stock? 4.55% 8.91% 9.00% 9.09% When calculating the weighted average cost of capital, weights based on book values. book weights. market values. market betas. Use the PI decision rule to evaluate these projects; which one(s) should be accepted or rejected? accept both A and 6 accept neither A nor B accept A, reject 8 reject A, accept B Suppose your firm is considering two mutually exclusive, required projects with the cash flows shown bellow. The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are 2 and 3 years, respectively. Which of the following makes this a true statement? Ideally, when searching for a beta for a new line of business one could find other firms engaged in the proposed new line of business and use their betas as proxies to estimate the project's risk. one would like to find at least three or four pure-play proxies. two, or even one, proxies might represent a suitable sample if their line of business resembles the proposed new project closely enough. All the answers make this a true statement.

Explanation / Answer

Question19

Kp = D/P0 = 9/99 x 100 = 9.09 %

P0 = Current price = 99

Dividend = 9

KP = Cost of preferred stock=?

Answer: option 4) 9.09 %

Question 20

When calculating the weighted average cost of capital, weights are based on

Market Values.

Answer: option 3) Market Values.
