Answer:

The firm's unleveraged beta is 1.0251

Explanation:

Hamada's equation  is used to separate the financial risk of a levered firm from its business risk.

The Hamada equation:

Bu= Bl/(1 + (1 − T)(D/E))

Bl = 1.4

wd = 0.36

Tax rate = 35%

D/E = wd / (1 – wd) = 0.5625 = 56.25%

= 1.4/ (1+(1-0.35)(0.5625))

=1.4/ 1 + (0.65)(0.5625)

=1.4/1.36

= 1.0251

Miser Materials paid $27,500 in dividends and $28,311 in interest over the past year while net working capital increased from $1
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Cash flow from assets = $51,800

Explanation:

Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to Creditors + Cash flow to Shareholders

Cash flow to creditors = Interest Paid – (New loans taken – Paid Loans)

                                     = $28,311 - ($0 - $21,000)

                                     = $28,311 + $21,000

                                      = $49,311

Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid – Net new equity

                                            = $27,500 – $25,000

                                            = $2,500

Cash flow from assets = $49,311 + $2,500 = $51,811
