Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 9.22 %.

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted return required by all providers of <u>permanent sources</u> of finance to the Company.

<em>WACC = ke × (e/v) + kp × (p/v) + kd × (d/v)</em>

where,

ke = cost of equity

    = 12.40 %

e/v = weight of equity

     = ($22 × 105,000) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

     = 0.4709

kp = cost of preference stock

    = 8.00 %

p /v = weight of preference stock

      = ($45 × 25,000) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

      = 0.2294

kd = cost of debt

    = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

    = 7.80 % × (1 - 0.34)

    = 5.148%

d/v = weight of debt

     = ($1,500,000 × 98%) ÷ ($22 × 105,000 + $45 × 25,000 + $1,500,000 × 98%)

     = 0.2997

Therefore,

WACC = 12.40 % × 0.4709 + 8.00 % × 0.2294 + 5.148% × 0.2997

           = 9.22 %

The Investments Fund sells Class A shares with a front-end load of 5% and Class B shares with 12b-1 fees of 0.75% annually as we
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The responses to the given choices can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

Assume is the investment. Each original Class A investment is of the net-front unburden. The portfolio will be worth four years from now:  

\$1,000 \times 5\% = \$50 =\$1,000 - \$50 = \$950\\\\         \$950 (1 + 0.13)^4 = \$950 (1.13)^4 = \$950 (1.630474) = \$1,548.95\\\\  

You will place the total of \$1,000 on class B shares, but only 12b-1will be paid (13-0.75 = 12.25) at a rate of 12.25\% and you'll pay a 1\%back-end load charge if you sell for a four-year period.

After 4 years, your portfolio worth would be:      

\$1,000 (1 + 0.1225)^4 = \$1,437.66   \\\\      \$1,000 (1.1225)^4 = \$1000 (1.587616) = \$ 1,587.62  

Their portfolio worth would be: after charging the backend load fee:      

\$1,587.616 \times 0.99 = \$1,571.74   \\\\                     Amounts     \\\\     Class A \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \     1,548.95\\\\          Class B \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \     1,571.74 \\\\

When the horizon is four years, class B shares are also the best option.

Class A shares would value from a 12-year time frame:

\$950 (1.13)^{12} = \$950 (4.334523) = \$4,117.80  \\\\

In this case, no back-end load is required for Class B securities as the horizon is larger than 5 years.

Its value of the class B shares, therefore, is as follows:

\$1,000 (1.1225) 12 = \$1,000 (4.001623) = \$4,001.62 \\\\Amounts    \\\\\      Class A \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4,117.80\\\\          Class B \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   4,001.62\\\\

Class B shares aren't any longer a valid option in this, prolonged duration. Its impact on class B fees of 0.75\%\ \ 12b-1cumulates over a period and eventually outweighs the 5\% the burden of class A shareholders.
