Gwar [14]

Answer:

11.64%

Explanation:

The formula to compute 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

The total firm includes debt, preferred stock, and the equity which equals to

= $3,000,000 + $2,000,000 = $5,000,000

So, Weighted of debt = ($2,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) = 0.40

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

= $3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,0000

= 0.60

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= (0.40 × 6%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.60 × 17%)

= 1.44% + 10.2%

= 11.64%

g100num [7]

Answer: The tax on capital gains is deferred until the gain is realized

Explanation:

The TAX DIFFERENTIAL VIEW of DIVIDEND POLICY is a notion that states that shareholders generally prefer capital gains fo dividend payouts because capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than dividend payouts.

Therefore they would like to pay less tax on dividends and instead wait until they make a capital gain as the taxes on that are less and are only charged after the gain is realized.

This translates to less dividends being paid by companies that follow this logic therefore the 4th option is correct.
