I don’t know the answer but I need points thank you and good luck
Answer:
Using the current capital structure
Ke = Rf + β(Risk premium)
Ke = 5 + 1.60(6)
Ke = 5 + 9.60
Ke = 14.60
Weighted cost of equity
= 14.60(20/100)
= 2.92%
Using the new debt-equity ratio
Ke = 5 + 1.60(6)
Ke = 5 + 9.6
Ke = 14.60%
Weighted cost of equity
Ke = 14.60(60/100)
Ke = 8.76%
Difference in cost of equity
= 2.92% - 8.76%
= -5.8%
Explanation:
There is need to calculate the cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model where Rf represents risk-free rate, Rp denotes risk-premium and β refers to beta. Then, we will calculate the weighted cost of equity by multiplying cost of equity by the proportion of equity in the capital structure. We will also calculate the new weighted cost of equity by multiplying the cost of equity the new proportion of equity in the capital structure. Finally, we will deduct the new weighted cost of equity from the old weighted cost of equity.
Answer:
Debit retained earnings for $15.30 million.
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Declaration of common stock dividend indicates no cash payments, only extra shares issued with rate of stock dividend
In this Rick Co. had 30 million shares and Rick Co. declared 1% stock dividend
which means 30 million × 1% = 0.30 million shares issued
Retained earning = (0.30 million × $51)
= $15.30 million
To common stock A/c = (0.30 × $1) = $0.30 million
To capital paid in access A/c = (0.30 million × ($51-$1)) = $15.00 million
( Being stock dividend was issued at 1% )
Hence, Option (d) Debit retained earning for $15.30 million is correct.
Answer: Definition the problem.
Explanation:
In trying to solve a problem, the first and the most basic step to take is to identify or define the problem, this stage involves determining the circumstances and situation as it helps one to be focused and pay attention to what the real problem is.
It is the first step and the most important, although it is most times difficult.
Defining the problem must answer the question "why", "who", "where","what", "how" and "when".
Defining the problem helps one to gain control over the situation.
Expand the equation.
Multiply (distribute) the first numbers of each set, outer numbers of each set, inner numbers of each set, and the last numbers of each set.
Combine like terms.
Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.
