Answer:

5.5%

Explanation:

Nominal GDP = 3.5%

Economic growth rate = -2.6 %

population growth = 0.6%

To calculate the annual inflation rate :

Economic growth rate = Nominal GDP - %change in price - population growth

-2.6 = 3.5 - %change in price - 0.6  

Therefore the %change in price ( inflation rate ):

inflation rate = 3.5 + 2.6 - 0.6

                      = 3.5 + 2

                       = 5.5%

The inflation rate of a country measures the relative increase increase in the price of commodities without a relative increase in purchasing power

Suppose the cost of capital of the Gadget Company is 10 percent. If Gadget has a capital structure that is 50 percent debt and 5
myrzilka [38]

Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent

Solution:

WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.

Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).

Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.

Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%

The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.

The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%
