Answer:

15.57%

Explanation:

The WAAC (Weighted average cost of capital) is given by:

WAAC = M*W_d*(1-T)+E*W_E

Where M is the rate to maturity of the company's bonds, Wd is the fraction of debt, We is the fraction of equity, T is the tax rate, and E is the rate of cost of common equity. Applying the given data:

0.115=0.09*0.4*(1-0.4)+E*0.6\\E=0.1557\\E=15.57\%

The company’s cost of common equity is 15.57%.

Answer:

242.65

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

year                                       2011          2012          2013

Salary                                 $65,000   $72,000    $76,000

Consumer Price Index          226           230            235

Real Interest Rate                 2.5%          2.7%           1.8%

Nominal interest rate for 2013 = 7.3%

Now,

Rate of inflation for 2013 = Nominal rate - Real rate

= 7.3% - 1.8%

= 5.5%

Therefore,

CPI in 2013 = Consumer Price Index in 2012 × (1 + inflation )

= 230 × ( 1 + 0.055 )

= 242.65

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 613.40-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 104.40=\$ 36.70+\$ 12.53=\$ 49.23

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $49.23.

The wages falls under the category of Over $444 but under $1,177.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $0 + 10% of excess over $444.
