Answer:
a)
Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%
Cost of preferred stock (
) = 10.53%
Cost of common stock (
) = 16.18%
b)
WACC = 14%
c)
project 1 and project 2
Explanation:
Given that:
Debt rate (
) = 9% = 0.09
Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4
Dividend per share (
) = $6
Price per share (
) = $57
Common stock price (
)= $39
Expected dividend (
) = $4.75
Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04
The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (
), 15% debt (
), and 10% preferred stock (
)
a)
Cost of debt (after tax) =`
Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%
Cost of preferred stock () = 
= 10.53%
= 10.53%
Cost of common stock () = 
= 16.18%
b)
WACC = 14%
c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted
Answer:
$11,880,000
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Value of Rights = $60,000,000
Land Value = $600,000
As we know land does not depreciate or depleted.
Depletion Value = $60,000,000 - $600,000 = 59,400,000
Estimated resources = 9 million units
Resources extracted in the period = 1.8 million units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expenses = $59,400,000 x 1.8 million units / 9 million units = $11,880,000
