Afirm's cfo is considering increasing the target debt ratio, which would also increase the company's interest expense. new bonds would be issued and the proceeds would be used to buy back shares of common stock. neither total assets nor operating income would change, but expected earnings per share (eps) would increase. assuming the cfo's estimates are correct, which of the following statements is correct? a. since the proposed plan increases the firm's financial risk, the stock price might fall even if eps increases. b. if the plan reduces the wacc, the stock price is likely to decline. c. since the plan is expected to increase eps, this implies that net income is also expected to increase. d. if the plan does increase the eps, the stock price will automatically increase at the same rate. e. under the plan there will be more bonds outstanding, and that will increase their liquidity and thus lower the interest rate on the currently outstanding bonds.

A) plot the m1 and m2 money stock in the us from 1990-2015. (hint: you may use the data tools provided by fred.) (b) plot the nominal interest rate from 1960 to 2014. (hint: you can either use the daily interest rates for selected u.s. treasury, private money market and capital market instruments from or the effective federal funds rate fromfred.) (c) the consumer price index (cpi) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. intuitively, the cpi represents the cost of living or the average price level. plot the cpi from 1960 to 2013.(d) the inflation rate is the yearly percentage change in the average price level. in practice, we usually use the percentage change in the cpi to compute the inflation rate. plot the inflation rate from 1960 to 2013.(e) explain the difference between the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rate. use the fisher equation to compute the ex-post real interest rate. plot the nominal interest rate and the ex-post real interest rate from 1960 to 2013 in the same graph.

Cindy recently played in a softball game in which she misplayed a ground ball for an error. later, in the same game, she made a great catch on a very difficult play. according to the self-serving bias, she would attribute her error to and her good catch to her
