When the retailer decides to switch store locations due to loss of a lease on the first store location.
Answer:
Charlotte has the priority to claim Autumn as her dependent even though William covered 70% of her living expenses during the year. In order for a parent to be able to claim a child as a dependent, he/she must live with the child for more than half the year. In this case, since William left the house, Charlotte has preference over claiming Autumn as her dependent (even though William lived with Autumn for 10 months). Also, a parent always has priority over other relatives including a grandparent.
Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent
Solution:
WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.
Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).
Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.
Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%
The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.
The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%
