Answer:
Expected return on equity is 11.33%
Explanation:
Using Weighted Average Cost Capital without tax formula, overall rate of return is given by the formula:
WACC=(Ke*E/V)+(Kd*D/V)
Kd is the cost of debt at 6%
Ke is the cost of equity at 12%
D/E=1/2 which means debt is 1 and equity is 2
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+2=1/3
E/V=equity/debt+equity=2/1+2=2/3
WACC=(12%*2/3)+(6%*1/3)
WACC=10%
If the firm reduces debt-equity ratio to 1/3,1 is for debt 3 is for equity
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+3=1/4
E/V=equity/debt+equity=3/1+3=3/4
WACC=10%
10%=(Ke*3/4)+(6%*1/4)
10%=(Ke*3/4)+1.5%
10%-1.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=3Ke/4
8.5%*4=3 Ke
34%=3 Ke
Ke=34%/3
Ke=11.33%

Answer:
a) ME= 1.93
b) confidence interval= (19.59,23.45)
Explanation:
a) Sample of customers is 64, population standard deviation is 6 and confidence level is 99%
Sample mean= 21.52
Sample size= 64
Confidence level= 99%
Population standard deviation= 6
Standard error of the mean= 0.75
Z-value= -2.5758 (From Z table)
Interval half width= 1.9319
Margin of error at 99% confidence interval is 1.93 from the output.
b) Confidence interval
Interval upper limit= 19.59
Interval lower limit= 23.45
99% confidence interval is (19.59, 23.45) from the output.
ME= 
= 1.93
