Answer: .27

Explanation:

The Debt to Equity Ratio is the amount of Debt per dollar that the company owes per dollar of Equity. It must add up to 1.

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital measures just how much a company needs to pay to it's capital holders including shareholders and debt holders.

The formula is,

WACC = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (Cost of debt * Weight of debt)

Remember that Debt is tax deductible so the After tax cost of debt should be,

= 5.2% ( 1 - tax rate)

= 5.2% * ( 1 - 39%)

= 3.172%.

The debt weight is the amount of debt that the company has per dollar so that means that it is also the Debt to Equity ratio. Denote it as 'x' to find it. Remember that they must add up to one.

WACC = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (Cost of debt * Weight of debt)

8.59% = 10.6% ( 1 - x) + 3.172%( x)

8.59% = 10.6% - 10.6%x + 3.172%x

8.59% = 10.6% - 7.428%x

7.428%x = 10.6% - 8.59%

7.428%x = 2.01%

x = 0.271

= 27%

Debt to Equity is 0.27.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

a. $131,880

b. $167,310

c. $156,050

d. $151,390

Explanation:

(a) Income from operations

Income from Operations is Income resulting from Primary Trading Activities of the Company.

Income from Operations = Gross Profit + Operating Income - Operating Expenses

where,

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

                    = $334,910 - $149,030

                    = $185,880

thus,

Income from Operations = $185,880 - $54,000 = $131,880

(b) Net income

Income resulting from Primary and Secondary Trading Activities of the the Company.

Net income = Income from Operations + Non Operating Income - Non Operating Expenses

                   = $131,880 + $32,710 + $9,080 - $6,360

                   = $167,310

(c) Comprehensive income

Income from both Continuing and Non - Continuing Activities.

Comprehensive income = Net income + Non - Continuing Activities

                                         = $167,310 - $11,260

                                         = $156,050

(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020

The Income remaining after distributions to shareholders have been made.

Retained earnings = Comprehensive income  - Dividends

                               = $156,050 - $4,660

                               = $151,390
