Answer:
WACC = 11.45 %
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke) + (Wp × Kp)
After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)
Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 11.1%(1-0.4) =6.66%
Ke-Cost of equity = 14.7%
Kp= Cost of preferred stock = 12.2%
Wd-Weight of debt =100/270=0.370
We-Weight of equity = 140/270=0.518
Wp= weight of preferred stock = 30/270=0.111
WACC = (0.518× 14.7%) + (0.370 × 6.7%) + (0.111×12.2) = 11.447%
WACC = 11.45 %
Answer:
Total weekly pay of August = = $ 1468.75
Explanation:
Annual salary = $30,000
Monthly Salary = $ 30,000/12= $ 2500
Salary for 40 hours * ( 4 weeks) = 160 hours = $ 2500
Salary for 1 hour= $ 2500/160= $ 15.625= $ 15.63
He worked additional 4 hours so pay for four hours is = 4 * 15.63= $ 62.5
But as he is a non exempt employee he is entitled to get 1.5 times higher than normal pay for over time so
he will be paid $ 62.5 * 1.5= $ 93.75 for over time
Commission on Sales = 3 % of $25,000
= $ 750
Weekly pay= $ 2500/4= $ 625
Total weekly pay of August = Weekly pay + Commission + Overtime
= $ 625 + $ 750 + $ 93.75
= $ 1468.75
Answer:
beta of stock B = 1.33
Explanation:
the beta of treasury bills is 0
the beta of stock A = 1.46
the beta of stock B = ?
the portfolio contains equal amounts of each investment and its overall beta is 0.93
0.93 = (0 x 1/3) + (1.46 x 1/3) + (B x 1/3)
0.93 = 0 + 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.93 = 0.4867 + 0.333B
0.4433 = 0.333B
B = 0.4433 / 0.333 = 1.33
Answer:
1. Technical improvements cause production costs to decline, which causes supply to increase and prices to decrease.
2. Decreased unemployment causes consumer incomes to increase which causes demand to increase and hence price to increase.
Explanation:
Demand refers to a consumer's desire to purchase a particular good or service at a given time for a specific price. Supply on the other hand, is the willingness of a producer to produce a particular good or service at a given time for specific price.
1. Production cost is a factor that influences supply. For example, cost of labor or raw material cost. When production costs fall, more products can be produced at a lesser cost. Hence'
- The supply curve shifts right from S1 to S2.
- This causes quantity supplied to increase from QS1 to QS2
- And price to fall from P2 to P1. Please refer Diagram 1 in attachment.
2. When unemployment decreases, it means that more people are working in the economy and hence their incomes are also higher. This means there is a higher purchasing power and also higher demand for products. Hence,
- The demand curve shifts from D1 to D2.
- This causes quantity demanded to increase from QD1 to QD2
- And price to increase from P1 to P2. Please refer Diagram 2 in attachment.
