Answer:

10.92%

Explanation:

A firm is 40% financed by debt

= 40/100

= 0.40

The firm is also 60% financed by equity

= 60/100

= 0.60

Its cost of debt is 8%

=8/100

=0.08

Cost of equity is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

Tax rate is 40%

= 40/100

= 0.40

Therefore, the firm's WACC can be calculated as follows

WACC= 0.40×0.08×(1-0.40) + 0.60×0.15

= 0.032×0.6 + 0.09

= 0.0192 + 0.09

= 0.1092×100

= 10.92%

Hence the firm's WACC is 10.92%

You are offered a chance to buy an asset for $200,500 that is expected to produce cash flows of $100,000 at the end of Year 1, $
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

What rate of return (IRR) would you earn if you bought this asset?

8,48%

Explanation:

To find the IRR it's necessary to know which is the discount rate that applied to the cash flow of the assets gives a value that compensate the investment of $200,500.

Year 1   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^1    =  $92.182    

Year 2   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^2  =  $35.690  

Year 3   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^3  =   $41.398  

Year 4   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^4  =   $31.230  

Total Present Value of Cash  Flow=

$92.182  + $35.690 + $41.398 + $31.230 =  $200,500

There is no way to find the IRR without Excel, the only way is to try with different rates in the current cash flow formula.

Sergio [31]

Options:

) The man has accepted the woman's offer. Because the reason for the change was out of the man's control, the change is of no legal effect once he signed the contract. B) The man has rejected the woman's offer and made a counteroffer, which the woman is free to accept or reject. C) While the man technically rejected the woman's offer, his behavior in scheduling movers creates an implied contract between the parties.

Answer: The man has rejected the woman's offer and made a counteroffer, which the woman is free to accept or reject.

Explanation: Since there has been an alteration in the content of the initial agreement between the buyer and the seller, the agreement has become void and hence, the changes makes it a counteroffer which the buyer is free to accept or reject. Even though the change in the initial agreed document is the date, it is enough to render the initial document void as the terms is no longer consistent with what the potential buyer read and signed on.
