Answer:

wP = 114.5 / 514.6   = 0.2225 or 22.25%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm can be made up of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is normally calculated using the market value of these components. The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity in the capital structure based on the market value
  • rD, rP and rE are the cost of debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively.

To calculate the weight that should be assigned to the preferred stock in the calculation of WACC, we need to determine the market value of preferred stock and the market value of the capital structure.

Market Value - Debt = 10000 * 1000 * 1.01  =  $10.1 million

Market Value - Preferred stock = 1 * 114.50  = $114.5 million

Market Value - Common equity = 26 * 15  =  $390 million

Total MV of capital structure = 10.1 + 114.5 + 390  = $514.6

wP = 114.5 / 514.6   = 0.2225 or 22.25%

lina2011 [118]

To calculate the current yield of bonds.

We have the given par value of $1000, a market price of $750 and an interest rate of 6%.

Formula of current yield: 

Yield =  (interest rate * par value)/(market price) * 100%

         =  ((0.06 *  $1000)/$750) * 100%

         = ( $60/$750) * 100%

         =0.08 * 100%

         = 8%

Korolek [52]

Answers:

The correct answer is 1. a) is the initial plan of what the company intends to accomplish in the period and evolves from both the operating and financing decisions. 2. d. budgeted income statement.

Explanation:

To begin with, a budget is an estimate of the expected results of a specific area in a given period, mainly one year. For its part, the master budget is a plan that covers all areas of the company, and can be adjusted depending on the situations or events that influence the achievement of results. This tool allows a projection of the expected returns taking into account a previous base and the current situation of the sector in which it is located, which is why it is important because it allows drawing a road map for the benefit of all collaborators.

Over the last four years, a stock has had an arithmetic average return of 8.8 percent. Three of those four years produced return
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Geometric Average return = 7.83%

Explanation:

First we need to find the missing value of data using Arithmetic mean formula

Arithmetic Mean = Sum of value / No of values

8.8% = Sum of Values / 4

Sum of Values = 8.8% x 4

Sum Values = 35.2%

Using Sum of Values we minus the remaining values in order to get the missing value of the data.

35.20% - 16.3% - 10.2%-(14.1%) = 22.80%

In order to get Geometric mean value we use geometric mean formula

G.M = 4 Sqrt(16.3% x 10.2% x -14.1% + 22.80%)

Geometric Mean = 7.83%
