Answer:
8.02 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the the cost required by holders of permanent source of capital pooled together.
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
where,
Cost of Equity (CAPM) = 4 % + 1.08 x 7.5 %
= 12.10 %
Cost of Preferred Stock = 5%
Cost of Debt :
PMT = ($1,000 x 5.5%) ÷ 2 = $27.50
N = 19 x 2 = 38
PV = $1,000 x 104 % = - $1,040
P/YR = 2
FV = $1,000
I/YR = ??
Using a Financial calculator the YTM (which is the cost of debt) is 5.17 %
But,
We use after tax cost of debt.
After tax cost of debt = 5.17 % x (1 - 0.31) = 3.57%
also
Total Market Value = $5,720,000 + $7,700,000 + $1,961,000 = $15,381,000
Weight of Equity = 0.50
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.13
Weight of Debt = 0.37
therefore,
WACC = 12.10 % x 0.50 + 5% x 0.13 + 3.57% x 0.37
= 8.02 %
To increase the money supply in the economy
Answer:
Option (a) $114,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Dividend declared = $240,000
Shares outstanding = 9,000
Interest = 7%
Now,
Value of share = $100 × 9,000
= $900,000
Dividend to Preference Stock Holders Arrears = 7% of Value of share
= 0.07 × $900,000
= $63,000
Dividend to Preference Stock Holders = $63,000
Therefore,
Dividend to Common Stock Holders
= $240,000 - $63,000 - $63,000
= $144,000
Option (a) $114,000
Answer: e. To drive up market share
Explanation:
Differentiation strategies involve adding features to a good to make it stand out from the Competition. Since these features are usually beneficial, the value of the good goes up and the company selling them can charge more. This is the main way things are done in Monopolistic markets.
However, sometimes it is best to charge the same price the Competition is charging even though you have a better product. This way the company is able to capture Market Share because the consumers will believe they are getting a better value for their money. For instance, if a company was selling Toyotas at $2,000 and it's competitor was selling the same Toyota but with 2 extra tires for the same $2,000 who would you use? The Competitor most likely.
This is why a firm might want to keep prices in line with competitors.
