Answer:

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor .

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%

Cost of Equity = 10.80%

Weight of Debt = 0.39

Weight of Equity = 0.69

Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]

= 1.32% + 7.45%

= 8.77%

The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor

= 8.77% - 1.90%

= 6.87%

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

11.07%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.25 × 8%) × ( 1 - 34%) +  (0.75 × 13%)

= 1.32% + 9.75%

= 11.07%

We simply multiply the weighatge with its capital structure so that the correct weightage cost of capital can come.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $750 per month in a stock account an
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Ans. Assuming that the withdrawal period is 300 months (25 years), you can withdraw every month $15,547.96

Explanation:

Hi, first, we have to take to future value (30 years in the future) the invested capital (both the stock account and the bond account). From there, we will consider the sum of both future values as the present value of the annuity that you are about to receive for the next 25 years (300 months). But before we do all that, we need to convert the return rates (compounded monthly) into effective monthly rates, for that we just go ahead and divide each one by 12, as follows

r(Stock) = 0.105/12= 0.00875

r(Bond)= 0.061/12 = 0.00508

r(Combined Account)= 0.069/12=0.00575

Now we are ready, first, let´s find the future value of the stock account.

FV(stock)=\frac{750((1+0.00875)^{360}-1) }{0.00875} =1,887,300.74}

Now, let´s find out how much will it be in 30 years, investing $325 per month, at the end of the month, at 0.508% effective monthly.

FV(Bond)=\frac{325((1+0.00508)^{360}-1) }{0.00508} =332,526.95

And then we add them up and we get:

FV(stock)+FV(bond)=1,887,300.74+332,526.95=2,219,827.69

Ok, now let´s find the annuity (monthly withdraw) taking into account that we are going to make 300 withdraws at a rate of 0.575% effective monthly,

[tex]2,219,827.69=A(142.7729593)

\frac{2,219,827.69}{142.7729593} =A

A=15,547.96\frac{A((1+0.00575)^{300}-1) }{0.00575(1+0.00575)^{300} }[/tex]

Best of luck.

Prahm Corp. wants to raise $4.4 million via a rights offering. The company currently has 500,000 shares of common stock outstand
Pavel [41]

Answer:

price for selling 3000 share right is $25060.87

Explanation:

Given data:

Total Amount raised=   $4,400,000  

Spreading rate = 6%

Subscription price =   $20 per share

Number of share owned by company = 500,000

Per share cost  = $45

Totals share own in the company = 3000

subscription price after deducting spreading rate = 20\times (1 -0.06) = $18.80

Now, Right share = \frac{4400000}{18.8} = 234,043

Right price is calculated as

Right price = ((Number of share held * market price) + (Right share *Right price))/( Number of share held + Right share)

plugging all value in above relation

                 = \frac{500000 \times 45 + 234043\times 18.8}{500000 + 234043}

Right share = $36.65

single right value = 45- 36.65 = $8.35

Price for 3000 share right = 8.35 *3000 = $25060.86

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A. that involves double-counting.

Explanation:

Imagine a company that produces furniture. If we would include the wood, the nails, the wood paint, etc., were included in the calculation plus the furniture itself, you would be double-counting the cost of the manufactured furniture. If you consider waste materials, then you would be adding even more costs. That is why you only consider finished goods.
