Answer:

WACC for A: 9.05%

WACC for B: 9.50%

WACC for C: 12.20%

WACC for D: 12.65%

Explanation:

WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)

Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%

Thus WACC for a division will be equal:  3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).

Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

Meacham Enterprises' bonds currently sell for $1,280 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $135 annual coupon and have a 15
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Yield to call (YTC) = 7.64%

Explanation:

Yield to call (YTC) = {coupon + [(call price - market price)/n]} / [(call price + market price)/2]

YTC = {135 + [(1,050 - 1,280)/5]} / [(1,050 + 1,280)/2]

YTC = 89 / 1,165 = 0.07639 = 7.64%

Yield to call is how much a bondholder will earn if the bond is actually called, and it may differ from yield to maturity since the call price is generally higher than the face value, but the yield to maturity generally is longer than the call period.
