Serendipity Inc. is re-evaluating its debt level. Its current capital structure consists of 80% debt and 20% common equity, its

beta is 1.60, and its tax rate is 25%. However, the CFO thinks the company has too much debt, and he is considering moving to a capital structure with 40% debt and 60% equity. The risk-free rate is 5.0% and the market risk premium is 6.0%. What's the firm's new cost of equity under 40% debt?

Answer:

8.76%

Explanation:

Using the CAPM formula:

Ke = Rf + Beta Factor * Risk premium

Here

Rf is 5%,

Beta Factor is 1.6

And

Risk Premium is 6%

By putting values, we have:

Ke = 5% + 1.6 * 6%

Ke = 14.6%

Now we will find new firm's cost of equity under 40% debt by simply multiplying it with the equity percentage:

Weighted Cost of Equity = 14.6% * 60% = 8.76%

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

the firm should have sold less output in the local market, and more output on the internet auction site.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that in order to maximize profits the firm should have sold less output in the local market, and more output on the internet auction site. This is because marginal revenue indicates the additional revenue that will be generated by increasing product sales by one unit. Therefore since the internet auction site's marginal revenue is higher than the local store, it means that selling more units in the internet site will lead to more profit than the local market.
