Answer:

Comet's E&P will decrease by $50,000 due to the exchange.

Explanation:

50 of Pam's shares are worth 50 x $1,000 = $50,000, since the corporation is redeeming them, it will do so by decreasing its earnings and profits (retained earnings account).

Generally when larger corporations buy back stocks (AKA treasury stocks), they will credit cash and debit treasury stocks, but since Pam's stocks are being retired, they are not going to be held as treasury stocks, therefore E&P must decrease.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

APR is 330% and EAR is 1745.53%

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly interest rate = 27.5%

APR or annual percentage rate = 27.5×12 = 330%

So, Big Dom should report an APR of 330% to customers.

EAR or effective annual rate = (1+\frac{APR}{m}) ^{m}-1

Here,

APR is 330% and m is 12

330÷12 = 27.5%

substituting the value in the above formula:

EAR = 1.275^{12}-1

        = 17.4553 or 1745.53%

A firm's cost of equity is 22%. Its before-tax cost of debt is 13% and its marginal tax rate is 21%. The firm's capital structur
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

WACC= 17.95%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.

It is calculated using the formula below:

WACC = (We×Ke)  +  (Wd×Kd)

Ke-cost of equity- 22%

We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%

Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%

Wd- 45%

After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%

Cost of equity = 22%

WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%

WACC= 17.95%

By raising the limit on insured losses the FDIC helps stabilize the system by instilling confidence.

If the consumer knows that their savings accounts are protected up to $250,000 they will be encouraged to spend money during a time of crisis.
