Answer:
0.36
Explanation:
Cost of equity of 16.8%,
Pretax cost of debt of 8.1%
Return on assets of 14.5%
As per NN proposition: Cost of equity = Return on asset + D/E ratio (Return on asset-Cost of debt)
0.168 = 0.145 + D/E (0.145 - 0.082)
0.168 - 0.145 = D/E (0.064)
0.023 = D/E (0.064)
D/E = 0.023/0.064
D/E = 0.359375
D/E = 0.36
Thus, the debt-equity ratio is 0.36
Answer: $180
Explanation:
From the question, Federal Bank of America has loaned $9,000 to Southgate Animal Hospital, using a 90-day non-interest-bearing note. The bank discounted the note at 8%.
Therefore, the debit to Discount on Notes Payable in the general journal will be:
= $9,000 × 8% × 90/360
= $9,000 × 8/100 × 1/4
= $9,000 × 0.08 × 0.25
= $180
The correct answer is $180
It should be noted that we used 360 days for a year.
