Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its befor
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Cost of common equity is 15.7%  and WACC is 7.2%

Explanation:

D1 is  

D1= 2.25 (1+0.05)

The cost of common equity is  

Rs = 2.36/ 22.00 + 5% =0.157= 15.7%

The cost of common equity is weighted average cost of capital (WACC)  

WACC = (0.35) * (0.08) (1- 0.40) + 0 preferred stock+ (0.35) * (0.157)

WACC = 0.03 *0.6 + 0 + 0.054

WACC = 0.018 + 0.054

WACC = 7.2%

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change:   -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of  the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

<em><u>For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity</u></em>

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

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $187.3546

<u><em>For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:</em></u>

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

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV  

PV   761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity  $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

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

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $657.5166

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

Maturity   1,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV  

PV   162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m  $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%

Shirley’s and Son have a debt-equity ratio of .60 and a tax rate of 35 percent. The firm does not issue preferred stock. The cos
ikadub [295]

Answer:

d. 8.2%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,  

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

= (0.60 ÷ 1.60)

= 0.375

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = 1 ÷ 1.60

                                                              = 0.625  

The total firm is

= 0.60 + 1

= 1.60

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.375 × 8%) × ( 1 - 35%) + (0.625 × 10%)

= 1.95% + 6.25%

= 8.20%

Eric has plans to go to a play and already has a $50 nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable ticket. Now Ginny, whom
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Correctly ignored a sunk cost.

Explanation:

In economics a sunk cost is one that an individual has already paid for and cannot recover. For example when payment is made for rent it is no longer recoverable.

In this instance Eric has already bought a $50 ticket that is nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable. This is a sunk cost.

Eric wants to go to the concert with Ginny who he wanted to date for a long time.

He will correctly ignore the sunk cost of going to the play because any more time spent on the play will not help recover the $50 already spent.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The expected return on Bo's complete portfolio will be "10.32%".

Explanation:

The given question is incomplete. Please find attachment of the complete question.

According to the question, the given values are:

Port's expected return,

R_p=12 \ percent

T-bill's expected return,

R_t=3.6 \ percent

Port's weight,

W_p=80 \ percent \ i.e.,\ 0.80

T-bill's weight,

W_t=20 \ percent \ i.e., \ 0.20

Now,

The Bo's complete portfolio's expected return will be:

⇒  W_p\times R_p+W_t\times R_t

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒  0.80\times 12 \ percent+0.20\times 3.6 \ percent

⇒  10.32 \ percent

Note: percent = %
