Answer:

WACC 0.1030590%

Explanation:

<u>First we use CAPM to solve the Cost of Equity</u>

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.034

market rate  

premium market market rate - risk free 0.082

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.37

 

Ke= 0.034 + 1.37 (0.082)  

Ke 0.14634

<u />

<u>Then we calculate the WACC</u>

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.14634

Equity weight 0.55

Kd 0.076

Debt Weight 0.45

t 0.34

WACC = 0.14634(0.55) + 0.076(1-0.34)(0.45)

WACC 0.1030590%

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The answer is: Probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Explanation:

Losses should be recorded as soon as possible (conservatism principle) as long as they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. A loss doesn't have to occur to be recorded, that is why they are recorded as contingency losses. If the company finds it probable that a loss will happen but can't estimate it, then it can't record it as a contingency loss.
