Answer:

To compensate for the risk that they will receive less than promised if the firm defaults, investors demand a lower interest rate than the rate on U.S. Treasuries.

Explanation:

Investors are risk averse, this means that they will always prefer those investments with lower risks. Since US treasuries are considered the safest investments,  they are used to calculate the risk free rate.

When investors invest in other securities (not US government) they will always demand a higher return because a private entity or even a state or local government can default on a their debt. That difference between the return yielded by a US security and the return from any other investment is called the risk premium.

The Two Dollar Store has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40
Fofino [41]

Answer: 9.03%.

Explanation:

Given: The Two Dollar Store has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40 percent.

Debt to equity ratio is .54

i.e. \dfrac{debt}{equity}=\dfrac{0.54}{1}\ ...(i)

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides, we get,

\dfrac{debt+equity}{equity}=\dfrac{1.54}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{equity}{debt+equity}=\dfrac{1}{1.54}  

i.e. Weighted equity = \dfrac{1}{1.54}\ ....(ii)

From (i)

\dfrac{equity}{debt}=\dfrac1{0.54}\

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides we get,

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1+0.54}{0.54}

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Thus, weight of debt=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Now,

Weighted average cost of capital=(Weight of equity) × (cost of equity)+(Weight of debt)×(Cost of debt)×(1-tax rate)

\dfrac{1}{1.54}\times (0.119)+\dfrac{0.54}{1.54}\times(0.062)\times(1-0.40)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.013044\\\\=0.090314\approx9.03\%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.03%.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": an underdeveloped infrastructure.
