Answer:

  • a. What is the company’s WACC?

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%) * (1-0,25) =  10,05%

  • b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Explanation:

The WACC it's defined by the formula :

WACC: E/V*Re + D/V*Rd *(1-0,25)

Re:   13,00%  Cost of Common Equity    

Re:   5,00%  Cost of Preferred STOCK  

Re:   6%     Cost of Debt  

E/V:   65%   Percentage of financing that is Common Equity  

PS/V:   5%     Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock  

DB/V:   30%    Percentage of financing that is Debt  

Tax:  25%    Corporate tax rate  

Now we have all of the components to calculate the WACC.

The WACC is:      

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%)*(1-0,25) =  10,05%  

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Identify how planned investment will change in each scenario. Airwings, a commercial airline manufacturer, becomes optimistic ab
kari74 [83]

Answer:

See explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

1) Increase

As business is optimistic about its future, such business will start capacity expansion to cater for consumer demand.

2) Decrease

Higher real interest rate simply means borrowing cost is higher for the firms and so that they will reduce the investment in respose to that.

3) Decrease

A lower tax means higher profits and firms can pass these benefits to consumers with lower prices, to employees with higher wages and to the government with tax on profit. However, if the rate of tax itself has been increased then in that case corporates will see higher tax as a dampener in sentiments and they might curtail investment plans.

4) Decrease

A recession means there will be lesser economic activity overall and demand will be lower so as the consumption. In such case, planned investment will be reduced.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Interest paid semiannually on July 31, and Jan 31,

so the rate of interest is :- 9% × 6÷12 = 4.5%  and  8% × 6÷12 = 4%

Date    Interest         Paid interest 4%         Amortized         Carrying value

       expenses 4.50%                             discount amount

February,1                                                    $735,474

July,31 $33,096   -   $32,400                    $696            $736,170

Jan.31      $33,128   -   $32,400                    $728            $736,898

Working note =

Paid interest = $810,000 × 4÷100 = 32,400

Interest expenses in July,31 = $735,474 × 4.5 ÷ 100

= 33,096.33 or $33,096

Interest expenses in January,31 = $736,170 × 4.5÷100

= 33,127.65 or $33,128

Carrying Value = Previous Carrying Value + Amortized Discount Amount

July,31

= $735,474 + $696

= $736,170

Jan,31 =  $736,170 + $728 = $736,898

Journal Entry

Identify whether each the following transactions is a primary market or a secondary market transaction: Jim Henry bought 500 sha
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Jim Henry bought 500 shares of I.B.M. through a broker.

  • SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION

Peggy White bought 500 shares of Apple from another investor.

  • SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION

New York Life Insurance Co. bought 500,000 shares of Tioga Corp when the company issued the stock.

  • PRIMARY MARKET TRANSACTION

Primary market transactions that place when an investor purchases securities at the time the corporation or entity issued them, e.g. if you purchased Amazon's stocks at their IPO (or any other time new stocks were issued), it was a primary market transaction. But if you purchased Amazon's stocks at any other time, it is a secondary market transaction. Almost all the transactions carried out everyday are secondary market transactions.
