Answer:

Company's WACC is 9.6%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

Formula for WACC

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (Cost of Equity x Weightage of equity) + (Cost of preferred Stock x Weightage of preferred Stock ) + (Cost of Debt (1 -t) x Weightage of Debt)

Market Values

Equity = 520,000 x $70 = $36,400,000

Preferred = 23,000 x $91 = $2,093,000

Debt  = $1,110 x 19,000 = $21,090,000

Total Value = $36,400,000 + $2,093,000 + $21,090,000 = $59,583,000

Cost of Equity :

We can calculate cost of equity using CAPM

Capital asset pricing model measure the expected return on an asset or investment. it is used to make decision for addition of specific investment in a well diversified portfolio.

Formula for CAPM

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate )

Cost of Equity = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Cost of Equity = 5.5% + 1.21 ( 6% )

Cost of Equity = 12.76%

Cost of Preferred stock = 4.6%

We need to calculate the yield to maturity

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Placing value in the formula

Yield to maturity = [ 34 + ( $1,000 - $1,110 ) / 48 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,110 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = 3% semiannually = 6% annually

Placing values in the formula

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (12.76% x $36,400,000 / $59,583,000 ) + ( 4.6% x $2,093,000 / $59,583,000 ) + (6% (1 - 0.24 ) x $21,090,000 / $59,583,000 )

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 7.80% + 0.16% + 1.61% = 9.57%

Feeling "He who does the work of the King ought to be King," Pope Zacharias helped whom become King of the Franks in 751?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

(C) Pepin The Short

Explanation:

In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.

In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the <em>apparent</em> King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).

In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.

In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.

Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.

= 1.198 years

= 14.37 months

= 14 months

Hence, the payback period is 14 months
