Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given that,

Interest at last year debt = 8%

Current year cost of debt = 25% higher

Firms paid for debt last year = 10%

Firms paid for debt in current year = 12.50%

Kd - cost of debt

Yield = Interest at last year debt × (1 + increase in cost of debt)

         = 8% × (1 + 0.25)

         = 8% × 1.25

         = 10%

Kd = Yield (1 – T)

Kd = 10% (1 – 0)

     = 10% (1)

     = 10%

Therefore, after tax cost of debt would be 10%.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

equation will be 2x+5

Explanation:

We have given the cost of shipping box = $5

Flat packing fee = $5

As given, the cost of shipping a box is based on its weight in pounds so it is variable

uppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A thr
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

WACC for A: 9.05%

WACC for B: 9.50%

WACC for C: 12.20%

WACC for D: 12.65%

Explanation:

WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)

Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%

Thus WACC for a division will be equal:  3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).

Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

<u>Line of credit </u>

Explanation:

A line of credit refers to a mechanism of availing short term credit from banks whereby a borrower is provided with a preset limit till which funds can be availed anytime.

As the borrower repays the money borrowed, the line of credit gets restored to the previous level provided it is an open line of credit.

Line of credit specifies the maximum limit till which money can be borrowed. The rate of interest and repayment time period are decided by the lender which is usually a bank.

Borrower is usually supposed to pay interest upon the money actually borrowed and not the full limit of the line of credit.
