Answer: (a) $295 million
(b) $326 million
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $900 million during 2016
Cash = $871 million
Cost of goods sold = $280 million
Expenses for the year totaled = $325 million
Paid for Inventory = $375 million
Paid for everything else = $285 million
Beginning cash = $115 million
(a) Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Expenses for the year totaled
= $900 - $280 - $325
= $295 million
(b) Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016:
= Cash + Beginning cash - Paid for Inventory - Paid for everything else
= $871 + $115 - $375 - $285
= $326 million
Answer:
14.58%
Explanation:
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8
equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72
d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58
p = 0.2 x 6 = 1.2
11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =
The equilibrium between possible threats and prospective compensation is known as risk/return trade-off.
