Answer:
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Explanation:
Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
I think the most appropriate answer would be D. As other answers has nothing to do with this question.

The total amount she received in dividend check would D. $103.40
Answer:
$10.08
Explanation:
First, find dividend per year;
D3 = 0.50
D4 = 0.50(1.35) = 0.675
D5 = 0.675 (1.35 ) = 0.9113
D6 = 0.9113 (1.07) = 0.9751
Next, find the present value of each dividend at 13% rate;
PV (of D3) = 0.50/(1.13^3) = 0.3465
PV (of D4) = 0.675/(1.13^4) = 0.4140
PV (of D5) = 0.9113/(1.13^5) = 0.4946
PV (of D6 )= 8.8209
Add the PVs to find the stock price;
= 0.3465 + 0.4140 + 0.4946 + 8.8209
= $10.08
