rent for the additional space given is $300 per year, the additional profit that will be pulled by adding on the space = $4000 per year, the current rate of interest given is = 12%

In order to calculate about the decision, the present values needs to be calculated first

The present value of the investment = (- $ 3000 plus $ 4000) by 1.121

Problem 14-13 Calculating the WACC [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share pric

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

WACC = 8.97%

Explanation:

total value of equity = $70 x 4,000,000 = $280,000,000

cost of equity:

$70 = $4.4935 / (Re - 4.5%)

Re - 4.5% = 6.42%

Re = 10.92%

total value of debt:

$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000

YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%

$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%

weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%

total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000

equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674

debt weight = 1 - 0.674 = 0.326

WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%

A company is to hire two new employees. They have prepared a final list of thirteen candidates, all of whom are equally qualifie

mojhsa [17]

Answer: 0.1282

Explanation:

Total number of possible outcome( total candidates) = 13

Total number of men = 13 - 8 = 5

Total number of women = 8

Number of candidates to be selected = 2

Find the probability that both are men :

Probability of 1st candidate being a male = required outcome ÷ total possible outcome = 5/13

Probability of second candidate being a male, means we now have 4 men left and a total of 12 = 4/12

Therefore, P = (5/13) × (4/12)

P = (5/13) ×(1/3) = 5/39 = 0.1282
