Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weig

hted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?

Answer:

Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)

Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project.  The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).

Explanation:

a) Data:

Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%

Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%

Weight of Division L = 50%

Weight of Division H = 50%

Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)

Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%

A customer establishes a combined margin account by purchasing $10,000 of ABC stock and selling short $10,000 of XYZ stock, depo
Bess [88]

Answer:

Current SMA balance is $15,000

Explanation:

SMA means special memorandum account, where excess margin recouped from investing the fund in customer's margin account is held.

Since ABC was bought for $10,000, while it's current worth is $20,000

Margin recorded = $20,000 - $10,000

= $10,000

XYZ stock sells short at $10,000, while it's current worth is $5,000

Margin recorded on short sell

=$10,000 - $5,000

=$5,000

SMA current balance

= $10,000 + $5,000

= $15,000
