my analysis is going to be attendance for each baseball team. I collected the data for each team ’s average attendance for 2003-2005 from an internet site entitled www.baseballreference.com. The summary statistics for this variable show that the mean winning percentage for all MLB teams is 50.4 percent with a standard deviation of 7.6 percent. There is a minimum and maximum of 27 percent and 65 percent respectively. I am taking the log of attendance in order to explain relationships with the

through equity and debt. It can be defined as the weighted sum of the cots of equity and the cost of debt. It determines the rate of return that a firm would receive if it invested its money in another option with a similar risk. A risky business will have a higher cost of capital than one involving less risk as the investors expect to be compensated for the greater risk. It is easy to determine the cost of debt. Cost of debt is simply the weighted rates of interest paid by the company on its debts

Chain-Weighted GDP Worked Example (corrected version of pg. 35 in text) One problem with traditional “real GDP” calculations is that‚ since it values all goods at base year prices‚ it looks like prices never change. As time goes on‚ goods whose prices go down (and quantities usually go up) are still weighted by the old prices‚ and consequently get too much weight in later years’ GDP calculations. The goods don’t require a large expenditure share‚ but if they are valued at base year prices‚ it would

Any company’s assets are either financed by its debt or by its equity. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is the average costs of these sources of financing‚ each of which is weighted by its respective use in the given situation. By taking the weighted average‚ we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances. Basically‚ the WACC is the minimum required return that the company must earn to satisfy its creditors‚ owners‚ and other providers of capital‚ or they will
