Dawn, a young single mother, found a wallet with a large amount of money inside. She has found lost wallets in the past, too. Previously she has always tried to return the cash to the owner, knowing it is the right thing to do. However, money has been very tight lately, so this time she has decided to keep the cash. She told a friend, "I don't normally do this, but we really need the money. So I really have to do it this one time." The most likely explanation for Dawn's behavior is:

c. the need-to effect.
d. sociocultural forces.
e. motivated blindness.

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
