We use the compounding interest formula in economics to determine the future worth of the value given the present value and the rate of interest. The applicable formula is F = P*(1+i) ^n where is the rate of interest, n is the number of years, F is the future worth and P is the present worth. Higher interset rate, investment time and present worth all incurs positive increase to the future worth of the value. The computations are

For the first 4 years,
F1 = $1000 *(1+0.04)^4
F1= 1169.86$
on the 5th year then,
F2 = 1169.86$*(1.05)
F2 = 1228.35$

The final investment amount after the 5th year is $1228.35

Deep Mines has 43,800 shares of common stock outstanding with a beta of 1.54 and a market price of $51 a share. There are 10,000
Zanzabum

Solution:

MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding

MV of equity=51*43800

                    =2233800

MV of Bond=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par

MV of Bond=1000*5000*0.96

                   =4800000

MV of Preferred equity=Price*number of shares outstanding

MV of Preferred equity=83*10000

                                    =830000

MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond+ MV of Preferred equity

                 =2233800+4800000+830000

                 =7863800

Weight of equity = MV of Equity/MV of firm

Weight of equity = 2233800/7863800

W(E)=0.2841

Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm

Weight of debt = 4800000/7863800

W(D)=0.6104

Weight of preferred equity = MV of preferred equity/MV of firm

Weight of preferred equity = 830000/7863800

W(PE)=0.1055

Cost of equity

As per CAPM  , Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium)

                       Cost of equity % = 3.6 + 1.54 * (7.5)

                       Cost of equity % = 15.15

Cost of debt

                K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

                  k=1

                 K =13x2

960 =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^13x2

                  k=1

YTM = 8.5146699304

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 8.5146699304*(1-0.21)

                                   = 6.726589245016

cost of preferred equity

cost of preferred equity = Preferred dividend/price*100

cost of preferred equity = 7/(83)*100

                                       =8.43

WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)+Cost of preferred equity*W(PE)

WACC=6.73*0.6104+15.15*0.2841+8.43*0.1055

WACC =9.3%
