Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly. The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Face value of bond = coupon amount / interest rate
1000 = 80 / 8%
Therefore 900.9 = 80 / revised interest rate
multiply both sides by the 'revised interest rate
revised interest rate x 900.9 = 80
Hence, revised interest rate = 80 / 900.9 = 9%
Secondly if the company’s tax rate is 40%, the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = kd (1 - t)
where:
kd = Cost of debt
t = tax rate
Therefore cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = 9% (1-0.4) = 5.4%
Answer:
Option (a) and (b) are considered or correct.
Explanation:
Under the following two conditions, a firm in a perfectly competitive market produces at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:
(i) Minimum AVC < Price < minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, a firm may suffer a loss but it will be able to cover its minimum average variable cost. Hence, this firm continue operating in this market and if he shut down its operation then he may suffer a larger loss. Therefore, it chooses to continue operating under this market conditions.
(ii) Price > minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, the price received by the seller is greater than the minimum average total cost. Therefore, the firm is able to cover all of its cost of production and earning an economic profit. Hence, it obviously chooses to continue its operation.
The third option is not considered here because in this case, the firm won't be able to cover its variable cost.
The economic system in the USA is rooted in the Laissez-Faire
capitalism of Adam Smith. However, the real-world setting in the US is not as Laissez-Faire
as Smith would have liked because the government greatly participates as more
than umpire and rule maker. The government take part in American Business by
way of resource or product markets, interest, and especially taxes which
results in making the American business progressed into a mixed economy,
showing both elements of capitalism and socialism.
Other factors such as <span>foreign
competition, the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and the increasing age
of population have also contributed to the mixed economic system.</span>
