Answer:
$2,424
Explanation:
Depreciation for a rental property is calculated following a straight line depreciation method for 27.5 years.
First we must calculate the rental's house basis excluding land value:
$135,000 - $35,000 = $100,000
Then we divide $100,000 by 27.5 years = $3,636 per year
Now we divide by 12 months = $303 per month and multiply times 8 months = $303 x 8 = $2,424
Answer:
The ending cash account balance for Apricot Inc is $8,297.
Explanation:
There are three components in the statement of cash flows:
- Operating activities - Here, non-cash items applied to deriving the net income based on the accrual basis are adjusted for. Also, the movement in working capital and liabilities are accounted for.
- Investing activities encompass the assets purchased to generate the net income.
- Financing activities: These include activities that are geared towards improving the capital structure of the organization.
In deriving the cash flows at the end of the period, the balances in the activities above are added up, either outflow or inflow. Then the addition is added to the beginning balance of cash flows. This is done below.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities $45,042
Net cash flow used in investing activities ($20,831)
Net cash flow used in financing activities ($27,997)
Beginning cash account balance $12,083
Ending cash account balance $8,297
Answer:
rE= 0.163333 or 16.3333% rounded off to 16.33%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can contain one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate WACC of a firm with only two components including debt and equity is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wE * rE
Where,
- wD and wE represents the weight of debt and common equity respectively.
- rD and rE represents the cost of debt and common equity respectively.
- We take after tax cost of debt (1 - tax rate)
To calculate the cost of equity, we can plug in the values of remaining variables as given in the question in the above formula,
0.122= 0.4 * 0.08 * (1 - 0.25) + 0.6 * rE
0.122 = 0.024 + 0.6 * rE
0.122 - 0.024 = 0.6 * rE
rE = 0.098 / 0.6
rE= 0.163333 or 16.3333% rounded off to 16.33%
