Answer:

c. 15.8%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the WACC (weighted average cost of equity)

WACC formula = wE*rE + wD*rD(1-tax) , whereby

wE = weight of equity = 65%

rE = cost of equity = 20%

wD = weight of debt=35%

rD(1-tax ) = after tax cost of debt =8%

WACC = (0.65 *0.20) + (0.35*0.08)

= 0.13 + 0.028

= 0.158 or 15.8%

Therefore, the overall cost of capital is 15.8%

KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution-

According to Senator Jones, the elasticity of taxable income is larger, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a greater percentage. Also, according to Senator Smith, the elasticity of taxable income is small, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a smaller percentage.

(I) Under Senator Jones assumptions, due to rise in taxes, the taxable income has risen considerably as compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the estimates of additional revenue from the tax increase will be larger under Senator Jones assumptions, compared to Smith's assumptions.

(ii) Since under Senator Jones assumptions, elasticity of taxable income is large. So due to rise in taxes, there is a significant proportional rise in taxable income under Jone's assumptions compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the costs of the tax increase is borne more under Senator Jones assumptions , compared to Smith's assumptions.
