Answer: = b = 14.52%

Explanation:

Amount of common equity(E) =21000 × 61 = $1,281,000

Amount of preferred shares (P) = 11000 × 48 = $528,000

Amount of debt (D) = 1.04 × 275000 = $286,000

Total amount = $2,095,000

WACC formula is given below

WACC = wE × rE + wP × rP + wD × rD(1-tax)    

where w = weight of shares or stocks

r = cost of shares

wE = 1,281,000 / 2,095,000 = 0.6115

rE = 15.6%

wP = 528,000 / 2,095,000 = 0.2520

rP = Dividend/Price = (8/48) = 0.1667 or 16.67%

wD = 286,000 / 2,095,000 = 0.1365

rD = 8.81%

Now, put in these values to the formula;

WACC = (0.6115 × 0.156 ) + (0.2520 × 0.1667) + [ 0.1365 × 0.0881 × (1-0.35) ]

= 0.0954 + 0.0420 + 0.00782

= 0.1452 or 14.52%

Hence WACC is therefore 14.52%

The market interest rate related to a bond is also called the
salantis [7]

Answer:

effective interest rate

Explanation:

The effective interest rate is the rate that an investor actually earns from investing in a bond. The effective interest rate is usually different than the interest rate stated on a bond (e.g. coupon rate).

It is also called market interest rate because bonds are sold in secondary markets at a different price than face value (usually bonds are sold at a premium or at a discount). That price at which the bonds are sold determine if the effective interest rate will be higher or lower than the stated interest rate of the bond.

Inadvertently, morris leaves his backpack at nuway launderers when he stops to pick up his clothes. the backpack is:____.
vova2212 [387]

If Morris leaves his backup at nuway launderers when he stops to pick up his clothes then the backup is a mislaid property.

Given that Morris leaves his backup at nuway launderers when he stops to pick up his clothes.

We are required to find what backup is.

The backup is basically a mislaid property.

Mislaid property is basically any belonging of a person that was purposefully set around its proprietor and after that they forgot about that. There is a difference between lost property and mislaid property, for instance, a wallet that drops out of somebody's pocket is lost but a wallet incidentally left on a table in an eatery is mislaid.

Hence if Morris leaves his backup at nuway launderers when he stops to pick up his clothes then the backup is a mislaid property.

You want to invest $50,000 in a portfolio with a beta of no more than 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. Bay Corp. has a beta
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500
