Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent
Solution:
WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.
Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).
Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.
Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%
The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.
The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%
Answer:
decrease total assets and stockholders' equity
Explanation:
At the time of declaration a liability increases, against dividend expense.
At the time of payment that liability is settled by paying in cash.
Thus net effect of both transactions is decrease in cash and increase in expenses.
If we carefully analyse the options, then
we get that there is decrease in assets in the form of cash and decrease in equity as expenses decrease retained earnings which are owner's equity.
Therefore, correct option is
decrease total assets and stockholders' equity.
