Answer: 11.36%
Explanation:
The Cost of capital is calculated as;
= (Dividend rate / Net Stock price) * 100
= (10 / 88) * 100
= 11.36%
Net Stock price is used as it shows a more accurate depiction of the cost of capital since it uses the actual amount that the company received.

How can i use knowledge of OB to enhance my job performance and career?
Explanation:
Organizational behavior (OB) put simply, refers to the study of how people in an organization behave within groups. Thus, knowing how people behave in a particular organization can help one enhance his or her job performance and career.

What is the relationship between the costs of child care and the quality of
experience for the children and teachers?
The experience gained by first-line managers as they perform their jobs enables them to acquire all the skills they will need when promoted to higher levels of management.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
First line managers occupy the position just above non managerial staff. They supervise teams in a department and ensure they perform to meet organisational goals.
First line managers are closest to employees.
Although the hands on experience gained as a front line manager is important when the person is promoted to a higher position, it does not provide all the skills of higher management.
Higher manager positions needs leadership skill where implementing directives of top management is balanced with the ensuring first line managers perform well.
Negotiation skills needs to be developed by higher management to resolve conflicts between competing needs.
Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Alexander and Akiko equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. Alexander is responsible for ANB's back-office activities, and Akiko staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision- making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. Alexander, without Akiko's knowledge, used the company's bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. Alexander has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business. Is this a potential agency conflict between Alexander and Akiko? A. Yes; Alexander is misappropriating some of Akiko's wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB's funds. B. No; Alexander and Akiko are both authorized to spend ANB's money, so no conflict of interest can occur. C. No; Alexander and Akiko co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist. D. Yes; it should have been Akiko who purchased the car. Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Five years ago, Tae created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Houston. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Houston. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Tae's family members, and selected outsiders. Tae is TGZ's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder. At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Tae and TGZ's management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group's proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ's value and riskiness. Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ's management and the small group of opposing shareholders? A. Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm's managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict. B. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Tae as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred. C. Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants. D. No; Tae was the original owner of TGz, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm's current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict. For the past 40 years, companies have attempted to attract, retain, and encourage managers by developing attractive compensation packages. These compensation packages have also been intended to reduce potential agency conflicts between these managers and the firm's shareholders. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the______value of the company's common stock price. In addition to well-designed executive compensation packages, two other motivational forces can align the interests of managers with those of their shareholders. Which of the following actions could be used to reduce the potential for these agency conflicts and ensure that the firm's managers will pursue the long-term wealth interests of their shareholders? In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely______conflicts between managers and stockholders.
Answer:
Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders
1. A New Beginning (ANB)
A. Yes; Alexander is misappropriating some of Akiko's wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB's funds.
2. The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ):
B. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Tae as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
3. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the__LONG-TERM____value of the company's common stock price.
4. In addition to well-designed executive compensation packages, two other motivational forces can align the interests of managers with those of their shareholders.
a. Reward the manager with a combination of salary and stock options
b. Let the manager to understand that a takeover can happen if she does not perform well.
5. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely__increases____conflicts between managers and stockholders.
Explanation:
Agency conflicts of interest exist in any relationship where one party is expected to act in another's best interests. Agency problems or conflicts of interest usually exist between a company's management and the company's stockholders. But, it can equally exist in a relationship where one party acts against the interest of the other.
For each of the following situations involving annuities, solve for the unknown. Assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period, interest rate, and n number of years EV of $1, PV of $1, EVA of $1 PVA of $1, EVAD of $1 and PVAD of $. Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =1 2,600 8% 52. 507,866 135,000 ___ 43. 661,241 170,000 9% ____4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 85. 230,000 ____ 10% 4
Answer:
1) Present Value = $10,381
2) i = 3%
3) n = 5
4) i = 4%
5) Annuity amount = $72,558
Explanation:
Given that;
No. Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
1. ______ 2,600 8% 5
2. 507,866 135,000 ___ 4
3. 661,241 170,000 9% ___
4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 8
5. 230,000 ____ 10% 4
Assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period, interest rate, and n number of years EV of $1, PV of $1, EVA of $1 PVA of $1, EVAD of $1 and PVAD of $.
we know that
Present value = Annuity amount × Discount factor at i% for n years
1) Present value = 2600 × Discount factor at 8% for 5 years
from the annuity table ( n = 5, i =8% :- 3.99271)
Present Value = 2600 × 3.99271 = $10,381
2) 507,866 = 135,000 × Discount factor at i% for 4 years
Discount factor at i% for 4 years = 507,866 / 135,000
Discount factor at i% for 4 years = 3.761970
Check Present value annuity table in period 4 row for 3.761970
i = 3%
3) 661,241 = 170,000 × Discount factor at 9% for n years
Discount factor at 9% for n years =661,241 / 170,000
Discount factor at 9% for n years = 3.88965
Check Present value annuity table in 9% column for 3.88965
n = 5
4) 540,000 = 78,557 × Discount factor at i% for 8 years
Discount factor at i% for 8 years = 540,000 / 78,557
Discount factor at i% for 8 years = 6.8739895
Check Present value annuity table in period 8 row for 6.8739895
i = 4%
5) 230,000 = Annuity amount × Discount factor at 10% for 4 years
from the annuity table ( n = 4, i =10% :- 3.169865)
230,000 = Annuity amount × 3.169865
Annuity amount = 230,000 / 3.169865 = $72,558

Explanation:
Business ethics are inevitable, since all human behavior in society comes from ethical principles, that is, ethics is inherent to every individual and guides personal or professional relationships.

Answer:
Leads the economy to the wrong mix of output
Explanation:
Market failure is the when there is an inefficient distribution of goods and services in the free market.
One of the types of market failure is externality
