Answer:

CoffeeStop should use a WACC of  8.42%

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted.

<u>Calculation of WACC</u>

Capital Source               Weight              Cost                 Total

Debt                                  10 %               3.24%              0.32%

Equity                               90%                 9%                  8.10%

Total                                100%                                        8.42%

<u>Weight</u>

Note : CoffeeStop plans to finance 10 % of the new​ liquor-focused division with debt and the rest with​ equity

<u>Cost of Debt</u>

<em>WACC calculation considers the after tax cost of debt</em>

Cost of Debt = Market Interest Rate × (1-tax rate)

                     = 5.4 % × (1-0.40)

                     = 3.24%

<u>Cost of Equity</u>

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market Premium

                       = 2.3 % + 6.7 %

                       = 9%

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

cutting prices reduces gross margin that may be difficult to recover

Explanation:

This is the case because cutting prices reduces gross margin that may be difficult to recover. A company's gross margin is the sales revenue they retain after paying off all of the direct costs associated with producing the various goods it sells. This happens because customers get accustomed to the low prices and tend to hesitate and not buy the company's products when they are priced higher, thus making it very difficult to recover their previous gross margin.
