Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

We can conclude that tuition rates at the local community college are rising faster than overall inflation.

This is because from 2015 to 2016, the overall price level rose 10%, from 200 to 2020 (20 is the 10% of 200), while tuition rates rose 15% in the same period, from $100 to $115 (15 is obviously the 15% of 100).

Firlakuza [10]

Answer: $7,740

Explanation:

Given, At December 31, Accounts receivable = $238,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3% of (accounts receivable)

∴ Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3% of ($238,000 )

=$(0.03 ×238,000)                [3% = 0.03]

= $ (7140)

= $7,140

Allowance for uncollectible accounts (credit) before any adjustments= $600

The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts = Allowance for uncollectible accounts +  $600

= $7,140 +  $600

= $7,740

Hence, The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be: <u>$7,740.</u>

guapka [62]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

a) If the weight of risky portfolio is 'y' then weight of T-bill would be (1-y).

Expected return on clients portfolio = weight of risky portfolio x return on risky portfolio + weight of T-bill x return on T-bill

or, 15% = y x 17% + (1 - y) x 7%

or, y = 0.8

weight of risky portfolio = 0.8, weight of T-bill = 0.2

b)

Security Investment Proportions

T-bill 20% (from part a)

Stock A 80% x 0.27 = 21.6%

Stock B 80% x 0.33 = 26.4%

Stock C 80% x 0.40 = 32%

Total 100%
