ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

c. 15.8%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the WACC (weighted average cost of equity)

WACC formula = wE*rE + wD*rD(1-tax) , whereby

WACC = (0.65 *0.20) + (0.35*0.08)

= 0.13 + 0.028

= 0.158 or 15.8%

Therefore, the overall cost of capital is 15.8%

Explanation:

IRR is the rate of return that makes initial investment equal to present value of cash inflows

Initial investment = Annuity*[1 - 1 /(1 + r)^n] /r

1250 = 325 * 3.846639

1250 = 1,250

Additional paid-in capital after issuing stock dividend = 120,000 + ( 10,000 ×10% × $10)

= 120,000 + 10,000 = $130,000
