Answer:
Expected return on equity is 11.33%
Explanation:
Using Weighted Average Cost Capital without tax formula, overall rate of return is given by the formula:
WACC=(Ke*E/V)+(Kd*D/V)
Kd is the cost of debt at 6%
Ke is the cost of equity at 12%
D/E=1/2 which means debt is 1 and equity is 2
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+2=1/3
E/V=equity/debt+equity=2/1+2=2/3
WACC=(12%*2/3)+(6%*1/3)
WACC=10%
If the firm reduces debt-equity ratio to 1/3,1 is for debt 3 is for equity
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+3=1/4
E/V=equity/debt+equity=3/1+3=3/4
WACC=10%
10%=(Ke*3/4)+(6%*1/4)
10%=(Ke*3/4)+1.5%
10%-1.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=3Ke/4
8.5%*4=3 Ke
34%=3 Ke
Ke=34%/3
Ke=11.33%
Answer:
The interest is $189.78
Explanation:
The computation of the interest on January 20 is shown below:
= Principal × interest rate × number of days ÷ total number of days in a year
= $7,000 × 8% × 122 days ÷ 360 days
= $7,000 × 8% × 0.338
= $189.78
The 122 days are calculated below:
September - 10 days
October - 31 days
November - 30 days
December - 31 days
January - 20 days
Total - 122 days
And we assume the 360 days in a year
Answer:
FV= $94,108.42
Explanation:
<u>First, we need to calculate the future value of the 12 annual deposits:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,500*[(1.06^12) - 1]} / 0.06
FV= $59,044.79
<u>Now, the future value at the end of the 20 years (8 years more):</u>
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
FV= 59,044.79*(1.06^8)
FV= $94,108.42
