Answer:

WACC= 17.95%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.

It is calculated using the formula below:

WACC = (We×Ke)  +  (Wd×Kd)

Ke-cost of equity- 22%

We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%

Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%

Wd- 45%

After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%

Cost of equity = 22%

WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%

WACC= 17.95%

Suppose a banking system has $100,000 in deposits, a required reserve ratio of 25 percent, and total bank reserves for the whole
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Given that,

Deposits = $100,000

Required reserve ratio = 25 percent

Total bank reserves = $25,000

Required reserve ratio refers to the ratio of deposits that are kept with the federal reserve.

Required reserves:

= Deposits × Required reserve ratio

= $100,000 × 0.25

= $25,000

Excess reserves:

= Total reserves - Required reserves

= $25,000 - $25,000

= $0

So, there is no excess reserves in this economy.

Money multiplier:

= 1/Required reserve ratio

= 1/0.25

= 4

Therefore, the total money creation potential of this deposit is zero.

Triss [41]

Money spent by customer = $65

Transaction fee = $0.25

Percentage charge = 2% of the total charge

We calculate the total transaction fee as follows:

2% of $65 will be = 0.02 X $65

Stells [14]

Answer:

n = 43.6673555

it will take 43.67 year to achice a real GDP of 98,000

Explanation:

we solve for time of a future lump-sum:

PV (1+r)^n = FV\\(1+r)^n = FV / PV\\

we use logarithmics properties:

(1+r)^n = FV/PV\\log_{1+r}FV/PV = n\\n = \frac{log FV/PV}{log(1+r)}

PV 49,000

FV 98,000

rate 1.6%

n = \frac{log 98,000/49,000}{log(1+0.016)}

n = 43.6673555
