Answer:
(a) Trace the effect of this change through three banks- First National, Second Federal, and Third State.
Antonia deposits $2,000 in First National Bank.
Then First national Bank lends $1,600 to client X that uses the money to purchase something. The seller of that something deposits the money In Second Federal Bank.
Second Federal Bank then lends $1,280 to client Y that decides to use that money to pay his rent. Client Y's landlord then deposits the money in Third State Bank.
Third State Bank will then lend $1,024 to client Z...
(b) How much money will be generated in this banking system?
total money generated in the banking system = Antonia's deposit x money multiplier
money multiplier = 1 / required reserve rate = 1 / 0.2 = 5
so the total money generated = $2,000 x 5 = $10,000
Answer:
9.09%
9.327%
Explanation:
For computing the weighted cost of capital first we have to determine the cost of preferred stock, cost of common stock and the after cost of debt is shown below:
The Cost of preferred stock is
= Preferred dividend ÷ market price of preferred stock
= $2.50 ÷ $25
= 10%
The cost of common stock is
= (Expected dividend ÷ market price) + growth rate
= ($1.50 ÷ $20) + 0.05
= 12.50%
And, the after cost of debt is
= Before cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.08 × (1 - 0.35)
= 5.2%
Now the WACC is
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.45 × 5.2%) + (0.05 × 10%) + (0.50 × 12.5%)
= 2.34 + 0.5 + 6.25
= 9.09%
In the second case, the WACC is
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.30 × 5.2%) + (0.05 × 10%) + (0.65 × 12.5%)
= 0.702 + 0.5 + 8.125
= 9.327%
