Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
- rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Answer:
The put payoff = $1,072 - $1,050 = $22 per share
Explanation:
The put payoff is simply the difference between the spot price and the exercise price.
To determine the real profit obtained in this transaction we would need to know the investor's return rate. One of the basic pillars in finance it that $1 today is worth more than $1 tomorrow. We need a return rate to adjust the premium paid, for example if the return rate = 6%, then the premium would have been $9.30 x (1 + 6%/12)² = $9.30 x 1.005² = $9.39
profit = number of shares x (put payoff - adjusted premium)

Answer:
d. All of the above are correct.
Explanation:
a. This tax causes the demand curve for fountain drinks to shift downward by $0.50 at each quantity.
b. The price paid by buyers is $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.
This is true as the difference between $0.50 and $0.20 is $0.30. The price paid by buyers is indeed $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.
c. Forty percent of the burden of the tax falls on the sellers.
This is true as $0.20 of $0.50 is 40% and this tax burden falls on the sellers.
