Answer:

its weighted cost of capital for the coming year is 9.64%

Explanation:

WACC is the minimum return expected from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

<u>Calculation of WACC.</u>

Capital Source              Weight            Cost               Total

Debt                                  40%            6.60%             2.64%

Common Equity               60%             11.67%            7.00%

Total                                100%                                    9.64%

Cost of Debt = Market Interest Rate × ( 1 - tax rate)

                     = 11%×(1-0.40)

                     = 6.60%

Cost of Equity = (Next year`s dividend/Current Market Price of a share)+Expected growth rate

                       = ($1.40/$30)+0.07

                       = 11.67%

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$12,146

Explanation:

The computation of present value of this opportunity cost is shown below:-

Net After tax Operating Profit Per month = Rent space per month × Profit margin on the renting the space percentage

= $1,000 × 30%

= $300

Project is for 4 Years

Total months = 4 × 12

= 48 Months

Interest Rate Per month = 9% ÷ 12

= 0.75%

As per the question the Rent is Received at the start of the month

So Present Value of this opportunity cost = $300 (1 + PVAF (0.75%,47))

= $300 × ( 1 + 39.486)

= $12,145.85

= $12,146

= $2,000 ÷ $8,000

= 25%

Hence, the correct option is c. 25 percent

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
