Answer:

True

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns is used to describe a point where profit level is less than what was invested. Either money or energy.

This occurs when one or more factors of production are held fixed. Since state of technology and amount of human capital are held fixed, it has caused the adjustment of the factors of production to be disturbed.

This will then cause productivity not to increase at increasing rates since increasing the amount of physical capital gives smaller increase in productivity.

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 9%, and its tax rate is 40%. It can issue preferred stock that pa
klio [65]

Answer:

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p)  = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = 16.18%

b)

WACC = 14%

c)

project 1 and project 2

Explanation:

Given that:

Debt rate (r_d) = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4

Dividend per share (D_p) = $6

Price per share (P_p) = $57

Common stock price (P_0)= $39

Expected dividend (D_1) = $4.75

Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04

The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (w_e), 15% debt (w_d), and 10% preferred stock  (w_p)

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) =`r_d(1-T)= 0.09(1-0.4)=0.09*0.6=0.054

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p) = \frac{D_p}{P_P}=\frac{6}{57}=0.1053 = 10.53%

r_p = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = \frac{D_1}{P_0} +g=\frac{4.75}{39} +0.04=0.1618

r_e = 16.18%

b)

WACC=w_dr_d(1-T)+w_er_e+w_pr_p\\WACC=0.15*0.09(1-0.4)+0.75*0.1618+0.1*0.1053=0.14

WACC = 14%

c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted
