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%

Key ideas:
- A single entity controls the flow of the product.
- Possesses the power to limit prices.
- Will have some influence in politics.
- Difficult for new companies to enter the market.
Explanation:
Monopoly refers to the state when there is only one company controlling the flow of products, therefore controlling the prices of it. There are a lot of examples of monopoly in the contemporary era such as AB Inbev, but it doesn't mean that it is totally a modern concept. Monopoly existed even in history take for example the case of Carnegie steel mills or the issue of railroads.
When one company possess such power that it can control the price, it can badly damages the interest of other investors and consumers. But the reason they create a monopoly is that they have heavy influence in politics. That is how they turn up the decisions to their own benefits. And monopolies always try to create hurdles for new investors to get in the market. Because they are charging whatever they want due to no competition, as soon as new competition arrive it will challenge the monopoly which it can't take.
Answer:
a. 11.88%
b. -3.68%
Explanation:
Given that
Risk free rate = 6%
Beta = 1.4%
Market rate = 10.2%
Risk free rate = 6%
Alpha return = 8.2%
a. The computation of expected return of portfolio is given below:-
= Risk free rate + Beta (Market rate - Risk free rate)
= 6% + 1.4% (10.2% - 6%)
= 11.88%
b. The calculation of Alpha of portfolio is shown below:-
= Alpha return - Expected return
= 8.2% - 11.88%
= -3.68%
