Answer:
8.20%
Explanation:
Debt equity ratio = 0.95
or
Debt = 0.95 × equity
Cost of equity, ke = 11% or 0.11
Pretax cost of debt, kd = 7% or 0.07
Tax rate = 24% or 0.24
Therefore;
WACC = {Weight of equity × ke } + {Weight of debt × kd × (1-Tax rate)}
It is to be noted that ;
Weight of equity = Equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)
= Equity ÷ ( 0.95×Equity + Equity)
=1 ÷ 1.95
=0.513
Also,
Weight of debt = Debt ÷ ( Debt + Equity)
=0.95 × Equity ÷ ( 0.95 × Equity + Equity)
= 0.95 ÷ 1.95
=0.487
Hence,
WACC = {0.513 × 0.11} + {0.487 × 0.07 × (1-0.24)}
= {0.05643} + {0.03409 × 0.76}
= 0.0823384
or
0.0823384 × 100%
=8.23384
=8.20%
Answer:
a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing
Explanation:
The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.
These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.
The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.
The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).
So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct
Answer:
Correct answer is C (just took the test)
Explanation:
Answer:
A. $900
Explanation:
Section 351 states that no gain or loss shall be recognized if property is transferred to a corporation by one or more persons solely in exchange for stock in such corporation and immediately after the exchange such person or persons are in control (as defined in section 368(c)) of the corporation. Therefore, Rachelle's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange equals to the sum of the stock's fair market value of $750, $50 in cash, and the liability of $100 that the corporation credited into their book.
Answer:
Explanation: Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down sugar to give energy. It can also be said to be the process of takes in food thereafter using the food taken in it to create ATP (a chemical which the cell uses for energy).
This process starts when a glucose molecule(from consumed food) is converted into carbon dioxide and how its energy is harvested as ATP.
It involves 4 steps which are:
1. Glycolysis: Here, glucose undergoes a chemical transformation which at the end is converted to molecules of pyruvate.
2. Pyruvate Oxidation: At this step the pyruvate produced from glucose above is converted into a two-carbon molecule to Coenzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Here carbon dioxide is produced as well.
3. Citric acid cycle: At this step, the acetyl CoA produced above combines with a four-carbon molecule and goes through a cycle of reactions. This reactions produces four carbon starting molecules which are: ATP, NADH, FADH
2 and carbon dioxide.
4. Oxidative phosphorylation: Here, the molecules produced above NADH, FADH
2 deposit their electrons in the electron transport chain thereby releasing energy. At the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts electrons and takes up protons to form water.
