Answer: C. AA-rated short-term bonds

Explanation:

It was stated that the client has a low risk tolerance. Therefore, to reduce the credit risk, investment grade bonds are appropriate (BBB or higher). To reduce the interest rate risk, short-term maturities will be preferable to long-term maturities. Both of these factors will result in a safer bond investment.

Answer and explanation:

The influence a company may have over another when one of them has a number of shares that belongs to the other is determined by the percentage of ownership that the number of shares represent. If its lower than 20%, it is said the company has <em>no influence</em> over the other. From 20% to 50% one company has <em>significant influence</em> over the other. Finally, with more than 50% of the outstanding shares in possession, one company has <em>control </em>over the other.

In that case, CBS Corp. has no influence over Westwood One, Inc. since it owns only 18% of the outstanding shares.

= (Cost of equity × equity percentage) + (after-tax cost of debt × debt percentage)

= (12% × 50%) + (6% × 50%)

= 6% + 3%

= 9%

Since we have to compute only current WACC so we considered the 50-50 ratio. Hence, we ignored 70% cost of debt

WACC shows a relationship between debt, equity and the preferred stock.
