Answer:

WACC is 11.93%

The current Beta on common stock is 1.21

Beta without debt is 1.01

Explanation:

The formula for WACC is given as:

(E/V * Ke) + (D/V) * Kd * (1 – Tax rate)

E is  equity=75%

V is equity plus debt 100%

D debt 25%

Kd is cost of debt 7%

Ke is cost of equity is 14.5%

WACC=(75%/100%)*14.5%+(25%/100%)*(7%)*(1-0.40)

WACC=0.11925

WACC=11.93%

Using the capital asset pricing model formula,beta can be computed

R(E)=Rf+Beta(Risk premium)

R(E) is expected return =14,5%

Rf is risk free rate=6%

Risk premium=7%

Beta is unknown,assume it is x

14.5%=6%+x(7%)

14.5%-6%=x(7%)

x(7%)=8.5%

x=8.5%/7%

x=1.21

Beta when no debt exists

Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta/1+((1-tax rate)*Debt/equity)

                           =1.21/(1+(1-0.4)*25%/75%

                            =1.01

If you hold a $100 U.S. Treasury Bill, this means: (Select all that apply) Helpful Hint: There are 2 correct answers. The U.S. g
egoroff_w [7]

The U.S. government owes you $100.

Option 1 is correct .

Treasury Bills:

Treasury bills, or T-bills, have the shortest terms of all and are issued with maturity dates of four, eight, 13, 26, and 52 weeks.

Treasury Bill Characteristics:

Unlike Treasury bonds and notes, T-bills do not pay periodic interest payments to investors. Instead, Treasury bills are auctioned off to investors at a discount to their face value. The investor's return is the difference between the face value and the discount price paid at purchase.

How Do You Cash a Treasury Bond?

For Treasury bonds held with a bank or broker, consult the institution to redeem them.

For Treasury bonds in Treasury Direct (electronically), investors don't need to take any action since the bond will be cashed out at maturity and deposited into your account as long as you supply your bank information to Treasury Direct.

Treasury Bonds :

Treasury bonds, called T-bonds for short, are often referred to as long bonds because they take the longest to mature of the government-issued securities. Treasury bonds are offered to investors in terms of 20 and 30 years to maturity.

Macee Department Store has three departments, and it conducts advertising campaigns that benefit all departments. Advertising co
Deffense [45]

Answer:

(i) $34,200

(ii) $55,860

(iii) $23,960

Explanation:

Total sales = $ 240,000 + $392,000 + $168,000

                  = $800,000

Department 1:

sales = $240,000

Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales

                          = $240,000 ÷ $800,000

                          = 0.3

Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate

                              = 0.3 × $114,000

                              = $34,200

Department 2:

sales = $392,000

Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales

                          = $392,000 ÷ $800,000

                          = 0.49

Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate

                              = 0.49 × $114,000

                              = $55,860

Department 3:

sales = $168,000

Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales

                          = $168,000 ÷ $800,000

                          = 0.21

Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate

                              = 0.21 × $114,000

                              = $23,940
