Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60

percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.

Answer:

a. 16%

b.  13.566%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.

DATA

P is price = 27

G is growth = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

Requirement a.

When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate

Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%

Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price

There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95

Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%

Cost of equity = D1/P + g

Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16

Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08

Cost of equity = 16%

Requirement  b

Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%

Wacc = 13.566%

As compared to U.S banks, foreign banks are less regulated and have fewer restrictions concerning the types of business activiti
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Sometimes more than one institution regulates and supervises the credit market (of banks and other credit institutions). For example, US banking It is regulated by a large number of institutions, because it distinguishes between different types of credit institutions, and because there are regulations both at the state and federal levels. Thus, among others are the Federal Reserve System (Fed), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Office of Thrift Supervision.

In addition, there are also associations of financial regulatory authorities. In the European Union, there are the European Committee of Securities Regulators (CERV), the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CESB) and the European Committee of Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisors (CESPJ), which are level 3 committees of the European Union in the Lamfalussy process. And, worldwide, there is the International Organization of Securities Commissions (UCITS).

A registered investment advisor who is also a stockbroker decides to join a particular religious sect in order to sell securitie
notka56 [123]

Answer:

[C] Is legal even though it is ethically questionable

Explanation:

Some actions and behaviours can be legal but unethical or ethically questionable. They are legal in the sense that no contractual laws or pre-agreed contractual terms are broken when engaging in such actions. They may, however, be ethically questionable because they are do not conform to professional or moral conducts and societal norms.

The primary reason to join a religious sect should be a level of belief in the tenets of the sect, therefore, joining such with the singular motive of selling securities to its members is a behaviour that is not unlawful but is professionally, socially and morally questionable as a stockbroker and belonging to a religious sect.
