Answer:

WACC = 7.2%

Explanation:

<em>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</em>

To compute the WACC , we will follow the steps below:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the cost of the individual sources of finance:</em>

Cost of debt =   Before-tax deb × (1-T)

                    = 8% × (1-0.35)

                    = 5.2%

Cost of equity = (Do(1+g)/Po ) + g

                        = (0.30 (1+0.07)/ 40)   + 0.07

                        = 7.8%

Step 2

<em>Calculate the market value of the individual sources of finance</em>

Equity = $60 billion  

Debt = $20 billion

Step 3

<em>Calculate WACC</em>

            =  7.8% × 80 billion = 4.6815

            =    5.2% ×  $ 20 billion = 1.04

Total value of debt and equity = 60 + 20 = $80 billion

WACC =  (4.68  + 1.04)/ 80 × 100

         = 7.2%

WACC = 7.2%

Interest rates and the price of old or existing bonds are a. directly related. b. independent of each other. c. inversely relate
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Option C, “inversely related” is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Option “C” is the correct answer because if the interest rate on the bonds falls then its demand rises. Thus, its rising demand will derive up the price of bonds. If the interest rate rises then the demand for bonds will fall and this will reduce the price of bonds. Therefore, this condition shows the inverse relationship between the interest rate and bond price

If employees are bonded a. it means that they are not allowed to handle cash b. they have worked for the company for at least 10
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

c. they have been insured against misappropriation of assets.

Explanation:

A company bonds its employees to protect itself against theft by its workers.  Being bonded means securing the money available to customers if a claim is made against the company. Bonding offers compensation to a business should a loss arise through employee's actions.

The law requires companies that handle cash and cash equivalents such as stocks certificates to bond their employees. A company may choose from the various types of bond insurance in the market. For example, employers may use the fidelity bond to protect against employee theft.

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is __________. Changes in the money market must af
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Indirect; investment.

Explanation:

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect. Changes in the money market must affect the investment market before the goods and services market is affected.

According to the Keynesian Transmission Mechanism, the link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect; because at first, short-term interest rates are lowered by an increase in the supply of reserves and then with time both the bond and bank loan rates falls. Consequently, this would make investments and aggregate demand (AD curve shifts rightward) to rise or increase as a result of the low cost of capital for investors and by extension it boost the level of production or quantity of output (real gross domestic product or Real GDP).

<em>This ultimately implies that, the interest rates affects the real and costs of capital (monetary changes). </em>

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: Rick had a 5.55%  nominal salary Increase.

Explanation:  In Finances & Economics , Nominal value is measured in terms of money . This means that the value has not been adjusted against inflation and will only show the "Number Value" rather than the economic value which is how much purchase power this salary increase really means.

The formula to calculate the % for this nominal increase is : (Final Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value * 100 ==>> ($47500-$45000)/$45000 = 0.55 *100 ===> 5.5%
