Answer:

A. 8.15

Explanation:

WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.

In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:

WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)

E = Common equity

D = Debt

PE = Preferred equity

%E = Common equity / total capital

%D = Debt / total capital

%PE = Preferred equity / total capital

Tax = Tax rate

<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>

<u>Calculation:</u>

Using the above formula we can calculate WACC

WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)

WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%

Hi!

<em>Option C is correct.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation of the choices:

A. - This seems a good choice, however it's not the best choice. Let's come back to it.

B. - This is the best choice because they get to experience first-hand how to manage and make their own money decisions. Choice A might seem good at first, but we can see this is better because they get to make their own decisions and experience hands-on how to do it.

C - This is not a good choice, because it's best to expose children early so they can grow up knowing how to do it.

D - This choice doesn't make sense. What is the point of money if you store it away and don't spend it? This will likely not be a good lesson in the future.

Hope this helps! :D

viva [34]

Answer:

The annual payment at the end of each year: $4,572.23

Explanation:

The formular for calculating Present value of Annuity is applied in this case to help us find the equal annual payment.

Applying information in the question, we have the annuity that have:

n= 10 as there are 10 equal annual payments paid at the end of each year during 10 years;

i = 8.5% per annum compounded annually, as stated in the question;

PV = Borrowed amount = $30,000;

C = the equal annual payment.

The formular for PV of Annuity: PV = (C/i) x [ 1- (1+i)^(-n)] <=> C = (PV x i) / [ 1- (1+i)^(-n)]

Thus, C = (30,000 x 8.5%) / [ 1- 1.085^(-10) ] = $4,572.23

The account Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Available-for-Sale Investments should be included on the a.statement of retained earnings
Feliz [49]

Answer: b.balance sheet as an adjustment to stockholders' equity

Explanation:

Available-for-Sale Investments are investments by the company into other companies by means of owning their bonds or stocks. These bonds or stock are made available for selling and as such the company will not hold them to maturity.

For these types of instruments, the company will record the Unrealized Gains (losses) in Other Comprehensive Income. This is a part of the Equity Section of the balance sheet.

At the end of the period, the Unrealized Gains (losses) resulting from the Available for Sale Securities do not go to the income statement but rather are put into the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income distinction in the Equity section of the balance sheet. You can find it right below the Retained Earnings line.
