Answer: ($13,000)
Explanation:
Closing balance of Equity = Opening Balance + Retained earnings
Retained earnings = Net Income - dividends
Formula above shows that equity changes as a result of Retained earnings which is the net of Net Income and Dividends.
Change in equity will be = Net Income - Dividends
= (100,000 - 89,500) - 24,000
= -$13,500
<em>Equity reduces by $13,500</em>
Answer:
The correct answer is: 8.72%
Explanation:
Cost of debt K d = I (1 – t) + (-pi)/n
(SV + RV)/2
= 80(1 – 0.40) + (-75)/25
(1,000 + 1,075)/2
= 0.043 or 4.3%
Cost of equity K e = R f + b (R m – R f)
R m – R f = 5.5% = market risk premium
R f = risk free rate = 4.5%
B = beta = 1.2
K e = 4.5% + 1.2(5.5%)
= 11.1%
WACC = W d * K d + We * K e
= 35% * 4.3% + 65% * 11.1%
= 1.505 + 7.215
= 8.72%
