Answer:
a. 4.94%
b. 11.48%
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.
We proceed as follows;
a. From the question;
The debt equity ratio = 1.15
since Equity = 1 ; Then
Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15
Mathematically ;
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)
Where WACC = 8.6%
Cost of equity = 14%
Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15
Pretax cost of debt = ?
Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15
Tax rate = 21% = 0.21
Substituting these values, we have;
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))
Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%
b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt
8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15
Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)
Cost of equity = 11.48%
Answer:
The correct option is (A) more, greater
Explanation:
According to the risk return trade off, the risk is increased with the return that means if the returns are increased the risk is also increased and vice versa
So as per the given scenario, if there is more risk that investor wants to accept so the return should be more for the investment. This represents the direct relationship between the risk and return of the investment
hence, the correct option is (A) more, greater
