Answer:

Risk-free rate = 3.5%

Market risk-premium = 6.9%

Cost of equity (Ke) = ?

Ke = Rf +β(Rm - Rf)

Ke = Rf + Market risk premium

Ke = 3.5 + 6.9

Ke = 10.4%

Cost of debt (Kd) = 5.4%

Market value of debt (D) = 12

Market value of equity (E) = 88

Market value of the company (V) = 100

WACC = Ke(E/) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 10.4(88/100) + 5.4(12/100)(1-0.40)

WACC = 9.152 +  0.3888

WACC = 9.54%

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to calculate cost of equity according to capital asset pricing model, which is risk-free rate plus market risk-premium.

Then, we will calculate the weighted average cost of capital, which equals cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital  structure plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by the proportion of debt in the capital structure. Since the proportion of debt in the capital structure is 12%(12/100), the proportion of equity will be 88%(88/100).

Pizza Express Inc. began the Year 2 accounting period with $2,500 cash, $1,400 of common stock, and $1,100 of retained earnings.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a) I used an excel spreadsheet since there is not enough room here.

b) Net income = $8,950

Cash flows form operating activities =

Net income                                             $8,950

Adjustments to net income:

  • Increase in account payable       <u>    $250</u>

Net cash from operating activities        $9,850

Net income is lower because a company must record revenues and expenses when they happen, not when they are associated with cash flows. This is why a company that makes all credit sales might have a large profit, but a small amount of cash (the opposite of this situation).

<span>The above scenarios is an example of PHISHING, a category of social engineering.

Phishing is defined as an attempt to get confidential information like credit card details, usernames and passwords by presenting itself as a trusted entity in an electronic communication. 

A lot of phishing incidents have already been happening in the real world and lots of money from bank accounts have been stolen because the thief will then assume the electronic identity of the owner and make unauthorized transactions. </span>

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

c. May be able to avoid liability to the extent she had no reason to know of the deficiency (and did not have actual knowledge) when filing the return. The burden of proof will be on her.

The doctrine of <em>innocent spouse relief</em> might apply here. Mrs. Jones will have to prove that:

  1. the income that was omitted was earned by her husband, not her.
  2. she must prove that when she signed the tax filings, she was not aware of the omission.
  3. after examining all the facts surrounding the omission, the IRS must decide that blaming her would not be fair.
