postnew [5]

Answer:

The WACC formula is really easy you just have to calculate the weights of the debt or equity whatever is given in the question and then multiply it by the percentage of borrowing given. The total borrowing in this question is 12000(4911+4305+2784).

WACC for this question will be calculated as:

=> 0.0657

=> 6.57%

Horseshoe Stables is losing significant market share and thus its managers have decided to decrease the firm's annual dividend.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$3.90

Explanation:

using the discount model we can calculate the stock price:

stock price = [dividend x (1 - g)] / (RRR + g) ⇒ since the growth rate is negative, we need to change additions for subtractions and vice versa.

stock price = [$0.86 x (1 - 3.5%)] / (17.8% + 3.5%) = ($0.86 x 0.965) / 0.213 = $0.8299 / 0.213 = $3.90

Mervon Company has two operating departments: Mixing and Bottling. Mixing has 350 employees and Bottling has 350 employees. Indi
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Allocated administrative cost for mixing is $81000

And allocated administrative cost for for bottling is $81000

Explanation:

We have given total number of employs for mixing = 350

And total number of employs for bottling = 350

Administrative cost = $162000

So total number of employs = 350+350 = 700

So allocation base for mixing =\frac{350}{700}=0.5

So allocated amount for mixing = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Allocation base for bottling = =\frac{350}{700}=0.5

So allocated amount for bottling = 0.5×$162000 = $81000

Belinda Herrera purchased a $5,000 bond at the quoted price of 94.125. The bond paid interest at a rate of 6%. What is the annua
belka [17]

Answer:

6.37%

Explanation:

Annual yield is the annual dividend yield of a bond.

Formula for annual yield = Annual dividend amount / Current price of the bond

Annual dividend amount = Annual interest rate * Face value

= 6% * $5,000

= <u><em>$300</em></u>

Current price = 94.125 means that the bond price is 94.125% of the Face value

Current price = 0.94125* 5000 = <u><em>$4,706.25</em></u>

Therefore, annual yield = 300/4,706.25 = 0.0637 or 6.37%
