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%

Which of the following is a condition necessary to exclude an obligation from current liabilities? Entry field with incorrect an
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The answer is: Obligation that has a distant due date exceeding company's operating cycle.  

Explanation:

A current liability is a financial obligation due within one year (or one normal operation cycle).

So a financial obligation that has a due date that exceeds a company´s operating cycle should have been directly classified as a long term liability (or a non current liability) in the first place. It simply is not a current liability that is changed into a long term liability, it always was a long term liability.

The other options represent the steps necessary for turning a current liability into a long term liability.

  1. Intend to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to complete the refinancing.
  3. Subsequently refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
