Answer: 9.7%

Explanation:

Given Data

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)

= 0.096 * 100

= 9.6%

Unlevered Equity Cost ;

ReU= Wd × rd + We × re

= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%

= 9.28%

Levered Equity Cost:

New Debt = 60%,

New Equity = 40%,

New rd = 9%

ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)

= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)

= 0.097 * 100

= 9.7%

The dolphin might understand comprehension. Knowing the placement of words, the tones of the words and the letters they consist is one thing. But understanding what the phrase or sentence means is comprehending. Knowing that if you change the placements of words within the sentence, it would give different meanings, is a manifestation of comprehension.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

intangible property

Explanation:

Intangible property can be defied as property that doesn't have any physical attributes that give them value. For example, a car is a tangible since you can drive it around, but a certificate of deposit is just a piece of paper (or even a computer code) and nothing else. The same applies to bonds and stocks, you know they are valuable but their value is not provided by their physical characteristics.

Other intangible property include patents, software, licenses, copyrights and trademarks. All of these can be extremely expensive, for example Microsoft is worth hundreds of billions and it sells digital ones and zeros.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

8.1%

Explanation:

Firstly, let look at the formula for calculating weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E + (PE/A) x r_PE, where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

PE: Market value of company preferred equity;

r_D: cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity/retained earnings;

r_PE: cost of preferred equity;

t: tax rate

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

WACC = 35% x 6.5% x (1-25%) +  55% x  10.5%  + 10% x 6% = 8.1%
