Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + Beta ( Rp)
where,
Rf = risk free rate
Rp = Market risk premium
Hence,
Beta systematic risk
:
= 7% + 1.7 (6%)
= 7% + 10.2%
= 17.2%
Post Tax cost of debt:
= Kd ( 1 - T)
where,
Kd = cost of debt
T = tax rate
= 20% * (1-0.4)
= 12%
WACC = [ (Ke × We) + (Wd × Kd(1-T)) ]
where,
We = weight of equity
Wd = weight of debt
= [(17.2% × 0.6) + (0.4 × 20% × (1 - 0.4))]
= 10.32% + 4.80%
= 15.12%
Answer:
An employee has an average wage of $60,000 and has worked for the firm for 28 years. The defined benefit pension plan pays retirees 2.3% of the average wage times the years of service. The employee can expect to receive __$1,380_____ per year upon retirement.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average wage = $60,000
Number of years worked in the firm = 28 years
Defined benefit pension plan rate = 2.3%
Annual defined benefit pension plan = $1,380 ($60,000 * 2.3%)
Total benefit to be received = $38,640 ($1,380*28) or ($60,000 *28 * 2.3%).
b) This employee is expected to receive the total benefit of $38,640 for serving the firm for 28 long years under the defined pension plan, given the plan rate of 2.3% of the average wage.

convertible to permanent life insurance when the plan is already matured.
Since the crossover point is 11.4 percent and have decided to accept project X because the required return is 12.7 percent, it that implies that we sould always accept Project X if the required return exceeds the crossover rate.
Crossover rate refers to the cost of capital where the net present values of 2 projects are equal.
- After the cross over rate, the project X will remain better compared to project Y.
- Hence, since the crossover point is 11.4 percent and have decided to accept project X because the required return is 12.7 percent, it implies that we should always accept Project X if the required return exceeds the crossover rate.
Therefore, the Option C is correct.
Missing options <em>"</em><em>A. accept Project Z if the required return is less than 12.7 percent. B. be indifferent to the projects at any discount rate above 12.7 percent. C. always accept Project X if the required return exceeds the crossover rate. D. always accept Project X E. accept Project Z only when the required return is equal to the crossover rate."</em>
