Answer:
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
Explanation:
WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
- r represents the cost of each component
- D and E represents debt and equity respectively
To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.
The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share
MV of equity = $1200 million
The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)
40 * (r - 0.07) = 4
40r - 2.8 = 4
40r = 4+2.8
r = 6.8 / 40
r = 0.17 or 17%
MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5% => $38.6 million
Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million
WACC = 38.6/1238.6 * 0.08 * (1-0.33) + 1200/1238.6 * 0.17
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Answer:
Expected market return is 13%
Explanation:
CAPM is used to calculate the expected return on an asset for decision making to add any further asset to a well diversified portfolio. It involves different factors like market risk premium, asset beta and risk free rate as well to calculate a return rate which is expected to obtain from underline asset or investment.
As per given data
Expected return = 17.2%
Stock beta = 1.6
Risk free rate = 6%
According to CAPM
Expected Return on security = Risk free rate + Stock beta ( Market Risk Premium )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market Risk Premium )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market return - Risk free rate )
17.2% = 6% + 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
17.2% - 6% = 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
11.2% = 1.6 × ( Market return - 6% )
11.2% / 1.6 = Market return - 6%
7% = Market return - 6%
7% + 6% = Market return
Market return = 13%
This welfare-reform plan responded to criticisms that welfare encouraged poor people to remain unemployed in order to keep receiving aid. It replaced the traditional antipoverty program for poor families (Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or AFDC) with a new program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Answer:
Gross Margin = $6,000
Explanation:
Gross margin refers to the Sales price - Direct cost associated with the product.
Here, Sales Value = 200 outdoor planters for $50 each = $50 
200 = $10,000
Cost associated with this outdoor planters = Purchase cost as paid to supplier = $4,000
Thus, gross margin = $10,000 - $4,000 = $6,000
Note: Time period and dates provided for such sales and collection of amount or payment to supplier is of no relevance.
Final Answer
Gross Margin = $6,000
