Answer:
a.
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
Explanation:
a.
The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.
The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common stock respectively
WACC = 0.15 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.21) + 0.1 * 0.05 + 0.75 * 0.09
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the cost of debt by (1 - tax rate) to adjust for the tax advantage provided by debt as interest payments on debt are tax deductible.
After tax cost of debt = 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
Seeing as the litigation expense will only be paid in 2018, it should be added back to income for 2015.
= 900,000 + 100,000
= $1,000,000
As the depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years and with future income probable, it should be removed from income.;
= 1,000,000 - 300,000
= $700,000
Municipal Bonds have the advantage of being Tax-exempt so their interest income should be removed to calculate how much tax should be paid.
= 700,000 - 200,000
= $500,000
2015 Income Tax Payable = 500,000 * 30%
= $150,000

Discounted payback period calculates how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cash flows generated from the project.
The calculation used in getting the answer is found in the attachment.
option d. is the right option
Answer:
C. NPV is the discounted present value of a project's expected future accounting net income at the required return, subtracting the initial investment.
Explanation:
NPV means Net Present Value, this is calculated by computing the present value of cash returns and not the accounting income, as accounting income takes in account non cash items also, although while computing returns the non cash transactions are not considered.
Therefore the chosen statement which states about accounting income less initial investment is false as even in case the project requires additional mid term investment then that is also considered.
Thus, false statement is
Statement C
