A firm has determined its cost of each source of capital and its optimal capital structure which is comprised of the following s

barxatty [35]

Answer:

10.25%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%

Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%

Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%

Now,

The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:

= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost

or

= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14

or

= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056

= 0.1025

or

= 0.1025 × 100%

= 10.25%

To build wealth is a gamble; the wealthy people are lucky and become rich overnight. True or false

klasskru [66]

This seems like a rather subjective question. Wealth is built over a lifetime with income. Inheritance is definitely one way to become wealthy, so I would say <u><em>True </em></u>

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$28.57

Explanation:

Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)

D1 (Next dividend) = $2

Required return = 10% = 0.1

Growth rate = 3% = 0.03

Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)

Current price = $2 / 0.07

Current price = $28.57143

Current price = $28.57

Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

Robert Necco and Nelson Packard are economists at Economic Research Associates. ERA asks Necco and Packard for their opinions ab

Lorico [155]

Answer: B) Correct Incorrect

Explanation:

Whilst it was generally believed at some point that raising taxes and Government Spending by the same amount would have no effect, research has disproven this thought.

This is because it was shown that an increase in Government Spending leads to a larger increase in GDP than an increase in taxes reduces it.

This is because when the Government spends money, the Multiplier effect of Government Spending is always 1 more than that of the Taxes therefore raising taxes and spending by the same amounts still increases the Real GDP because Government Spending will create more income than taxes will take.

Necco is right, Packard is wrong.
