Answer:

Explanation:

First, find the YTM of the bond (rD), you can do this with a financial calculator using the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond : N = 20

Annual coupon payment; PMT = 8%*1000 = 80

Face value; FV = 1000

Price of the bond ; PV = -1,050

then CPT I/Y = 7.51% (this is the Pretax cost of debt; the rD)

Next, find the cost of equity (rE) using CAPM;

CAPM; r = risk free + beta (Market risk premium)

rE = 0.0450 + 1.20(0.0550)

rE = 0.0450 + 0.066

= 0.111 or 11.1%

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

w = weight of..

rD= pretax cost of debt

WACC = (0.65*0.111) + [0.35*0.0751(1-0.40) ]

WACC = 0.07215 + 0.015771

= 0.0879

Therefore, WACC = 8.79%

<h3>What is debts?</h3>

Debt is an obligation that requires one party, the debtor, to pay another party, the creditor, money or other agreed-upon value. Debt is a delayed payment or series of payments that differs from an immediate purchase.

Student loans, mortgages, and business loans are examples of "good" debt, which is defined as money owed for things that can help build wealth or increase income over time. "Bad" debt is defined as credit card or other consumer debt that does little to improve your financial situation. These are exaggerations.

In accounting, debt is classified as a liability. Debt can refer to a variety of different numbers on the balance sheet, ranging from wages payable to tax payable.

Your business partner has proposed you to join him (her) in investing $100000 each in a new enterprise. assume that you have tha
hjlf

Answer:

I wouldn't invest.

Risk preference at least 50-50 chance of gain and loose

Explanation:

case of success the return i get is $40000

case of failure i lose $20000.

My analysis shows P40=0.3 of success

And P-20=0.7 of failure.

The probability of a loose is much bigger than the probability of a gain.

So I can't bear the loose of loosing 7 times if about 20000 and gaining 3 times of about 40000 it doesn't balance.

My loose accumulating to 140000

While my gain is 120000.

I can't invest
