Six differences between weighted average cost of capital and marginal cost of capital

1 answer:

4 0

WACC is the weighted average cost of capital already borrowed/invested.

Marginal cost of capital is the cost that will be incurred if one more $ of capital is raised either by equity or by debt.

So if more capital is borrowed and has a resulting higher marginal cost, the WACC increases as well.

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

$120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\$

PV $494.5766

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time 5.00

rate 0.068070103

$\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV$

PV 755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m $755.4235

Total $1,250.0002

YTM:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Cuopon payment: $ 120

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

$120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0891421622982136)^{-15} }{0.0891421622982136} = PV\\$

PV $972.2006

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0891421622982136)^{15} } = PV$

PV 277.80

PV c $972.2006

PV m $277.7995

Total $1,250.0001

Answer:

An inferior good

Explanation:

An inferior good is a good whose demand decreases with consumer's increase in income. John's increase in pay, that came with his promotion, triggered John to switch to driving everywhere he goes instead of riding the bus. This is because John feels that riding the bus is no longer fit for him, now that he could readily afford driving around in the stead of taking the cheaper bus ride.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Forward excahnge rate/spot exchange rate = (1+rh)/(1+rf)

rh - periodic interest rate in the home currency

rf - periodic interest rate in the foreign currency

Forward/90 = [1+1%*180/360]/[1+2%*180/360]

Forward = 1.005/1.01 * 90 = 89.55

Forward rate is 89.55 yen/$
