This would be a case of insider trading, meaning that the trader (the financial advisor) has information that is not public that will affect the future performance of the company. If the advisor acts on this early information and profits, then this could be considered illegal.

Answer:

a. With New Stock = 8.307%

b. With Old stock = 7.971%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) defines the cost rate that blends the capital structure cost including equity, debt, and preferred stock.

Requirement A

If it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity,

Given,

The weight of the combination of the capital structure is -

W_{d} = 40% = 0.40; W_{p} = 5% = 0.05; W_{e} = 55% = 0.55

For cost of debt, we have to find cost of debt after tax, R_{d}(1 - t) =

6.9% x (1 - 0.40) = 4.14%

Cost of preferred stock, R_{p} = 6.4%

Cost of new Equity, R_{e} = 11.51%

We know, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) =

W_{d} x R_{d} + W_{p} x R_{p} + W_{e} x R_{e}

= (0.40 x 4.14%) + (0.05 x 6.4%) + (0.55 x 11.51%)

= 1.656% + 0.32% + 6.3305%

= 8.307%

Requirement B

If it has to issue new common stock, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = W_{d} x R_{d} + W_{p} x R_{p} + W_{s} x R_{s}

Given,

The weight of the combination of the capital structure is -

W_{d} = 40% = 0.40; W_{p} = 5% = 0.05; W_{e} = 55% = 0.55

For cost of debt, we have to find cost of debt after tax, R_{d}(1 - t) =

6.9% x (1 - 0.40) = 4.14%

Cost of preferred stock, R_{p} = 6.4%

Cost of new Equity, R_{s} = 10.9%

Therefore, putting the value in the equation,

WACC = (0.40 x 4.14%) + (0.05 x 6.4%) + (0.55 x 10.9%)

WACC = 1.656% + 0.32% + 5.995%

WACC = 7.971%

Sale of equipment   $172,000

b) The sale of the equipment caused a loss of $10,000.  The net book value of the equipment is $68,000.  This implies that it was sold for $58,000 ($68,000 - $10,000).  So, the cash received from the sale is $58,000.
