Answer:

How much capital should Firm A raise and invest?

$296.08 million should be raised and invested in projects.

Explanation:

WACC = 8% when A's retained earnings breakeven point = $296.08 million

Expected rate of return = 8.25%

WACC is less than expected rate of return.

Therefore, WACC is less than expected rate of return, which is beneficial, since cost of capital is less than expected rate of return.

therefore, $296.08 million should be raised.

If the firm A raises, more than $296.08 million, <u>WACC</u> would be <u>increasing</u> to <u>8.5%</u>, this is greater than the <u>expected rate of return i.e. 8.25%. </u>

Hence raising amount <u>more than $296.08 million</u> will not be beneficial.

Hence it is clear that amount which should be raised and invested =$296.08 million.

Investment required in one project=$29.608 million.

Number of projects which can be started =$296.08/$29.608  =10 projects

All are equally risky therefore it does not matter which project should be left.

Hence, $296.08 million should be raised and invested in projects.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

A) $0

Explanation:

If the award was unsolicited and given to Joan in recognition for her accomplishments in scientific, educational, literary, religious, artistic, or civic fields, then the award is not taxed.

The unsolicited part is the key here, since most awards are given to candidates that have been previously been nominated by someone, e.g. Nobel prizes are only given to nominated candidates and the winners must pay income taxes.

25,000 = PV(1+0.03)^9

PV = 25,000/ 1.3047731

PV = 19,160.42, this is how much it worth today
