Answer:

Weight of debt, Wd = 0.4842 or 48.42%

Explanation:

WACC = Wd×Rd×(1-t)+We×Ke+Wp×Kp

W is weights of respective portfolios

R is return on respective portfolios

Wd+We+Wp = 1

9.50% = Wd×4.80%+(0.93-Wd)×14.70%+0.07×8.90%

9.5% = Wd×4.80%+13.671%-14.70%×Wd+0.623%

9.90%×Wd = 4.794%

Weight of debt, Wd = 0.4842 or 48.42%

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (e).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Capital budget = $1,000,000

Debt = 60%

Equity = 40%

Net income = $550,000

So, we can calculate the total dividend by using following formula:

Total dividend = net income - ( Equity × Capital budget )

= $550,000 - ( 40% × $1,000,000 )

= $550,000 - $400,000

= $150,000

Use the following quotation to answer the question.“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” —James Madison, Feder
serg [7]

Answer:

2. Government is necessary, because people do not always behave perfectly.

Explanation:

<em>Option 1</em> is wrong because if the government cannot control people, there is no use of making policy. It contradicts James Madison's quota.

<em>Options 3</em> and <em>4</em> are incorrect because the government is a necessary element.

Option 2 is correct, as the government is an essential element. Without government, people may become clueless and clumsy. To make peace in the nation, the government has to control its people.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$86,050

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales = $634,000

Costs = $328,000

Depreciation expense = $73,000

Interest expense = $38,000

Tax rate = 21 percent

Dividends paid = $68,000

Now,

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $634,000 - $328,000 - $73,000

= $233,000

EBT = EBIT - Interest

= $233,000 -  $38,000

= $195,000

Net income = EBT - Tax

= $195,000 - (0.21 × $195,000)

= $195,000 - $40,950

= $154,050

Addition to retained earnings = Net income - Dividends

= $154,050 - $68,000

= $86,050
