Answer: 9.03%.

Explanation:

Given: The Two Dollar Store has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40 percent.

Debt to equity ratio is .54

i.e. \dfrac{debt}{equity}=\dfrac{0.54}{1}\ ...(i)

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides, we get,

\dfrac{debt+equity}{equity}=\dfrac{1.54}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{equity}{debt+equity}=\dfrac{1}{1.54}  

i.e. Weighted equity = \dfrac{1}{1.54}\ ....(ii)

From (i)

\dfrac{equity}{debt}=\dfrac1{0.54}\

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides we get,

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1+0.54}{0.54}

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Thus, weight of debt=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Now,

Weighted average cost of capital=(Weight of equity) × (cost of equity)+(Weight of debt)×(Cost of debt)×(1-tax rate)

\dfrac{1}{1.54}\times (0.119)+\dfrac{0.54}{1.54}\times(0.062)\times(1-0.40)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.013044\\\\=0.090314\approx9.03\%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.03%.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The financial securities would decline by $106.7

Explanation:

Given

Financial securities at a geometric rate= $128

Underlying Security Asset = $14

Decreased value of the underlying asset = $6

When there's a reduction of $6 in the underlying asset price, this means the securities value will also get a reduction by a ratio of 6.

Because of this, we'll only consider the financial securities because it increases at a geometric progression unlike underlying assets that increases by arithmetic progression.

First, the value of financial securities needs to be calculated using the following formula;.

Value of Financial Securities = Financial securities at a geometric rate ÷

Decreased value of the underlying asset

Value of Financial Securities = $128 ÷ 6

Value of Financial Securities = $21.3

Tthe decline value of the financial securities is calculated as follows:

Decline Value = Financial securities at a geometric rate - Value of Financial Securities

Decline Value = $128 - $21.3

Decline Value = $106.7

Hence, the financial securities would decline by $106.7

Answer:

the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is shown below;

But before that first we have to determine the ending inventory units i.e.

= 280 + 380 + 480 + 290 - 1,200

= 230 units

So, the ending inventory is

= 230 units × $1,230

= $282,900

Hence, the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The dividend payout ratio is 43.33% as shown below

Explanation:

EBIT is an acronym for earnings before interest and tax, it is given as $2 million.In other words, to arrive at net income we need to deduct interest on loan and tax.

EBIT                                                 $2000000

less interest(5000000*10%)         ($500000)

Earnings before tax                       $1500000

Tax @40%                                        ($600000)

Net income                                      $900000

Since capital project requires 60% of equity(net income belongs to equity holders),hence we need to deduct 60% of capital outlay from net income to arrive at distributable earnings.

distributable earnings =$900000-(60%*$850000)

                                     =$390000

Hence dividend payout ratio=distributable earnings/net income

                                               =$390000/$900000

                                                =43.33%
