Answer:
9%
Explanation:
WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.
According to WACC formula
WACC = ( Cost of common stock x Weightage of common stock ) + ( Cost of preferred stock x Weightage of preferred stock ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )
As WACC is calculated using Market values.
Company Value = 100%
Value of Debt = 28%
Value of Debt = 100% - 28% = 72%
WACC = ( 10.54% x 72% ) + ( 5.27% x 28% )
WACC = 7.59% + 1.48% = 9.07% = 9% (rounded off)
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Although the Fiscal policy includes the detail of government revenue collection and its spending and military budget is allocated in the budget as part of the policy, however after the incident of 9/11, the increase in military spending (including spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) was designed to achieve homeland security objectives.
White House designated the Office of Homeland Security to oversee and coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard the country against terrorism and respond to any future attacks.
The existence of pre-tax cost of debt and post-tax cost of debt is due
to the acknoledgement of the tax benefit from issuing debt.There is no
tax benefit from paying divdends,so it makes no sense talking about
pre-tax,post-tax cost of equity for a firm.When you think about cash
flow to equity you can only assume that the taxes owed by the company
have already been paid.Now, the taxation over the income of the
shareholder is a whole different issue that does not take place in this
discussion,since it is not taken in consideration either in cost of
equity or cost of debt.
