Answer:
WACC without taxes = 6.84% (rounding up to two decimals)
WACC with a tax rate of 21%= 6.27% (rounding up two decimals)
Explanation:
To calculate WACC we need to know the weight's for equity adn debt:
Equity: 24,000,000 x 13 = 312,000,000
Debt 368,000,000
Value: 680,000,000
Debt weight's 368M/680M = 0.458823529
Equity weight's 312M/680M =0.541176471
Now we have he weights can calculate the WACC
Ke 0.09
Equity weight 0.458823529
Kd 0.05
Debt Weight 0.541176471
t 0 (as this is a pretax, tax is zero)
WACC 6.83529%
then, for b we are asked for a 21% tax rate, everything else remains unchanged:
if t = 21% then:
t 0.21
WACC 6.26706%
Answer:
Explanation:
TO CONTRACT in order to pay more taxes and spend less money to avoid a price hike. DECREASE, if people spend less money the GDP is affected because of the purchases and the price level obviously prives FALL.
Answer:
5 units
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the point or number of units sold that makes the cost equal with the revenue generated. In other words, it is the point in which the profit or loss made by an entity is 0.
Given;
Variable cost per unit = $20
Selling price per unit = $50
Fixed cost = cost of rent = $150
Let the number of units to be sold be c
Total revenue = 50c
total cost = 20c + 150
To break even, total revenue = total cost
20c + 150 = 50c
50c - 20c = 150
30c = 150
c = 5
Ray must sell 5 units to break even.
Answer:
WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1 - T)
WACC = 11.28(0.50) + 8.0(0.5)(1 - 0.40)
WACC = 5.64 + 2.40
WACC = 8.0%
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
WACC equals cost of equity multiplied by proportion of equity in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by proportion of debt in the capital structure. The proportion of equity and debt in the capital structure are 50% respectively. Ke refers to cost of equity, Kd denotes before tax cost of debt, T represents tax rate, E/V denotes proportion of equity in the capital structure and D/V represents proportion of debt in the capital structure.
