Answer:

False

Explanation:

It does not necessarily means that when a firm gets a normal rate of return, it earns economic profit also, as it depends on various factors:

  • In the short run every firm aims to recover its variable cost, and in it's long term duration to recover its total cost, but it does not necessarily conclude that the return will attain the level of earning economic profit.
  • Normal rate of return is based on competitive market, as an average rate of return on market, but if the investment is made from borrowed funds, it might be that the company is not able to pay the cost of borrowing in that case it is even after attaining the normal rate of return it will not earn economic profit.

Answer:

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Explanation:

WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D and E represents debt and equity respectively

To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.

The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share

MV of equity = $1200 million

The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)

40 * (r - 0.07) = 4

40r - 2.8 = 4

40r = 4+2.8

r = 6.8 / 40

r = 0.17 or 17%

MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5%  => $38.6 million

Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million

WACC = 38.6/1238.6  *  0.08  *  (1-0.33)  +  1200/1238.6  *  0.17

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

A $1000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.2% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.3%. If intere
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The price of the bond will be $879

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

According to given data

Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.2 = $62 annually = $31 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 2 x 8 years = 16 periods

Current Yield = r = 8.3% / 2  = 4.15% semiannually

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.15% )^-16 ) / 4.15% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.15% )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.0415 )^16 ]  

Price of the Bond = $31 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.0415)^-16 ) / 0.0415 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.0415 )^16 ]  

Price of the Bond = $521.74 + $357.26   = $879
