a.
WACC is calculated as –
WACC = (Weight of common stock X Cost of common stock) + (Weight of preferred stock X Cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt X After tax cost of debt)
WACC = (64% X 13.4%) + (9% X 6.4%) + (27% X ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
WACC = 10.46%
b. After tax cost of debt is calculated as –
After tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) X cost of debt pre-tax
After tax cost of debt = ((1- 40%)*8.1%))
After tax cost of debt = 4.86%
Answer: $450
Explanation:
Total tickets purchased = 2
The cost of one ticket three months ago = $100
Current price of one ticket = $225
Total cost of two tickets = $225 × 2
= $450
The opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone by selecting some other alternative. So, here two options are available that either attend the concert or resell the ticket at $450. Therefore, the opportunity cost of attending the concert is $450.
Answer:
No, because they violated the duty of care
Explanation:
Business judgement rule is a provision that protects the management of a business from frivolous legal action concerning the way it does business.
The court assumes that the management acts in good faith in its fiduciary role, standard of loyalty, prudence, and care.
Duty of care is breached when the management do not make reasonable effort to prevent injury or loss.
In this instance Signal board is not protected by the business judgement rule because they violated duty of care.
Although the offer by Burmah oil is above the valuation a month ago, the board did not bother to do a present valuation or find out if other companies want to buy the subsidiary at a higher price.
The scenario you described suggests that the Law of Demand is correct.
Increase in price will always lead to loss of demand, while replacements for that product will grow in demand.
