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%

rewona [7]

Answer:

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.

We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.

NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

<u>For example:</u>

Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19

Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92

Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53

NPV= 6,360.111

The maximum investment is $6,360.111
