Answer:

WACC without taxes         =   6.84% (rounding up to two decimals)

WACC with a tax rate of 21%=   6.27% (rounding up two decimals)

Explanation:

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

To calculate WACC we need to know the weight's for equity adn debt:

Equity: 24,000,000 x 13 = 312,000,000

Debt 368,000,000

Value: 680,000,000

Debt weight's 368M/680M = 0.458823529

Equity weight's 312M/680M =0.541176471

Now we have he weights can calculate the WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.09

Equity weight 0.458823529

Kd 0.05

Debt Weight 0.541176471

t 0 (as this is a pretax, tax is zero)

WACC = 0.09(0.458823529411765) + 0.05(1-0)(0.541176470588235)

WACC 6.83529%

then, for b we are asked for a 21% tax rate, everything else remains unchanged:

if t = 21% then:

t 0.21

WACC = 0.09(0.458823529411765) + 0.05(1-0.21)(0.541176470588235)

WACC 6.26706%

Alik [6]

Answer:

All answers are correct except Money Supply

Explanation:

Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government spending and taxes. Government may increase taxes to increase revenue or discourage the consumption of a product. On the flipside, they may reduce taxes to stimulate spending, redistribute income, increase aggregate demand among other objectives.

Money supply is a monetary policy and it is used by the central bank to achieve certain objectives (reduce inflation, stimulate growth, increase demand, etc.)

Government spending is a fiscal policy that government uses to achieve a set of objectives (i.e. to supply goods and services that are not provided by the market or private sector – construct bridges, provide health facilities, social programmes for the poor among others).

Taxes – Tax is a fiscal policy tool used by the government to generate revenue, encourage or discourage the consumption of certain products or affect aggregate demand through income redistribution.  

Trade policy could be in the form taxes (i.e. tariffs, import duties, custom duties among others). Trade policy is a fiscal policy as government can use it to control aggregate demand by placing embargo on the importation of certain products to reduce the demand of such products in the local economy.
