Answer:
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure can consist of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity
- rD * (1 - tax rate) is the after tax cost of debt
We first need to calculate the WACC of the company and then adjust it for the new project.
WACC = 35% * 3.28% + 65% * 10.4%
WACC = 7.908%
As the new project is less risky and has an adjustment factor of -1.5%, the required rate of return for the new project will be,
WACC - new project = 7.908% - 1.5%
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%
Answer:
Explanation:
first of all we need to identify required rate of return
as per the given date in the question we can apply Capita asset pricing model to identify the Ke that is cost of equity.
We have
Ke = Rf+(Rm-Rf)*beta
Ke=2%+(7%-2%)*1.39
Ke=2%+(5%)*1.39
Ke=2%+6.95
Ke=8.95
Now we need to identify the share price after five year with same return
Share price = 862*(1+8.95%)^5
Share price after five year = 1323.255
Of the following, the best criticism of the argument above is that it overlooks the possibility that certain factors operating in the 1980’s but not in the 1970’s diminished people’s incentive to save and invest.
<span>If these other factors, unrelated to the inflation rate, that operated in the 1980’s but not the 1970’s, created an even greater disincentive to savings and investment than high inflation rates provide, then those trends do not provide evidence about the general relationship among savings, investment, and inflation. </span>
<u>Complete question:</u>
Fairbanks Corporation purchased 400 shares of Sherman Inc. common stock as an investment in trading securities for $13,200. During the year, Sherman paid a cash dividend of $3.25 per share. At year-end, Sherman stock was selling for $34.50 per share. Prepare Fairbanks's journal entries to record (a) the purchase of the investment, (b) the dividends received, and (c) the fair value adjustment
<u>Solution:</u>
Given,
Total shares = 400
Trading securities = $13,200
Cash dividend = $3.25 per share
Sales price of stock = $34.50 per share
Note: The image attached shows the journal entries of all the transactions.
Dividend revenue is 
Fair value adjustment is ![[(400\times \$34.50)-\$13,200]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28400%5Ctimes%20%5C%2434.50%29-%5C%2413%2C200%5D)
The above values are entered in the journal transaction.
