Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:

<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>

Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>

Putting all the number together, we have:

Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%

<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is B. $555,000

Explanation:

Please note that the student meant $300,000 for non-current liability and not $350,000

Stockholder's equity = total asset - total Liability

Total asset = current asset + fixed asset

= $250,000 + $800,000

= $1,050,000

Total liability = current Liability + non-current liabilities

= $195,000 + $300,000

= $495,000

Therefore, shareholder's equity is

$1,050,000 - $495,000

$555,000

Answer:

$40.79 per share and $52.90 per share

Explanation:

Cost of Debt (Kd) = Wd * Rd (1 - T)

Cost of Debt for Vandell Corporation is $7.30 * (1 - 0.40) = 4.38%

Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + \beta * Rp

Cost of Equity for Vandell Corporation is 6 + 1.10 * 7 = 13.70%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = Wd * Kd + We * Ke

Weight of Equity = $8.94

WACC = 30% * 4.38% + 70% * 13.70% = 10.9%
