Answer:
a. 4.94%
b. 11.48%
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.
We proceed as follows;
a. From the question;
The debt equity ratio = 1.15
since Equity = 1 ; Then
Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15
Mathematically ;
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)
Where WACC = 8.6%
Cost of equity = 14%
Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15
Pretax cost of debt = ?
Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15
Tax rate = 21% = 0.21
Substituting these values, we have;
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)
Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))
Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%
b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt
8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15
Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)
Cost of equity = 11.48%
Answer:
Excess reserves
Explanation:
Money supply in the economy is regulated by the central bank of Federal Reserve through various methods.
One of them is the use of reserve ratio.
Reserve ratio is the percentage of total deposit in a bank that commercial banks are required to keep aside and not use.
If there is no excess reserves and the Fed lowers required reserve ratio, it means banks will now have more money they can use to service customers.
The excess excess of the reserve can now the used to give out loans
Question is incomplete. I will try to answer to the best of my ability.
Answer and Explanation:
The credit terms '3/15, n/60' and '2/10, n/30' mentioned in the question signifies the terms in which riverbed has sold its product to the buyer.
3/15, n/60 means that if the buyer pays with 15 days since the transaction takes place then the buyer would receive 3% on the receivable.
However, if they fail to pay within 15 days then the buyer would have to pay the full amount within 60 days.
Similarly, 2/10, n/30 means 2% discount within 10 days since the transaction took place. Otherwise full payment after 10 day.
I'm pretty sure the answer would be a budget? A good budget is a way you can keep track of your money. Like what you are spending it on in different categories (like bills, entertainment, food, etc) and how much money is being spent in each.
Answer:
$2 per unit per year
Explanation:
The calculation of the inventory carrying cost per unit per year is shown below:
Inventory Carrying cost per unit per year is
= Total Annual Inventory cost ÷ Economic order quantity
= $400 ÷ 200 units
= $2 per unit per year
It is computed By dividing the total annual inventory cost from the economic order quantity, in order to get the inventory carrying cost
Therefore, the first option is correct
