Answer:

8.038%

Explanation:

For the computation of the firm's WACC first we need to find out the cost of equity which is shown below:-

Cost of equity = Expected dividend ÷ (Price of the stock × (1 - Flotation cost)) + Growth rate

= $0.65 ÷ ($15.00 × (1 - 10%)) + 6.00%

= 10.81%

Now

WACC = Weight debt × (Cost of debt) × (1 - Tax rate) + Weight of equity × Cost of equity

= 45% × 7.75% × (1 - 40%) + 55% × 10.81%

= 8.038%

Coordination and policy harmonization problems are largely a function of the number of countries that seek agreement.
sammy [17]
When a number of countries are working harmoniously together, then they would have no problems involving coordination and policy harmonization. It is inevitable to have a difference in opinions brought about by the diversity of culture. However, when countries respect each other's views, they work hand in hand to adjust and compromise with each other. So, the statement is false. The answer is B.

assume you take a first and second loan on a commercial property; both are interest-only loans with one financing 60% of the pur
Juliette [100K]

If you look at the information in the question, you'll notice that the return is less than the cost of borrowing (loan interest rate) (ATIRR). This indicates that there is negative leverage and that the property cannot utilise it.

Positive leverage would be created in the first year if the property was purchased with expected returns equivalent to leverage.

Financial leverage is the process of using borrowed money (debt) to buy assets in the expectation that the income from the new asset or capital gain would outweigh the cost of borrowing. The leverage is summed up in this idea. By using debt (loan money), or leverage, we mean to increase the profits on an investment or project.

Leverage allows investors to increase their market buying power.

Leverage is a tool used by businesses to finance their assets. Rather than issuing stock to raise money, businesses can use debt to finance operations in an effort to boost shareholder value.

The most popular financial leverage ratios to determine how hazardous a company's position is are debt-to-assets and debt-to-equity.
