Answer:

8.60%

Explanation:

We use the MM proposition II with taxes

r_e = r_a + \frac{D}{E} (r_a-r_d)(1-t)

ra 0.125

D 5000

E 9600 (14,600 assets = 5,000 liab + equity)

rd ??

taxes 0.34

re 0.1384

We set p the formula and solve:

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 - 0.125 = 0.34375 (.125-r_d)

0.0134 = 0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.34375\times r_d

r_d = (0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.0134)\div 0.34375

rd = 0.860181818 = 8.60%

Does it matter that the helicopter company <em>performed its obligation</em> under the contract?

  • Yes, it does matter because they had a legally binding agreement.

<h3>What is a Contractual Agreement?</h3>

This refers to the legally binding document which two parties attest their signature to about an agreement for a particular thing with the terms clearly stated.

With this in mind, we can see that Claire who was involved in a car accident needs to go to a hospital in another state for better treatment for her injuries and she signs a contractual agreement that she would pay for the helicopter expenses.

In light of this, the argument which Claire can make to rescind the agreement is that her life was in danger and she needed the services of the helicopter company which had her Universal Right to Life.
