Answer:

12.085 %

Explanation:

WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt

Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :

after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)

                                   = 5.20 %

therefore,

WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55

           = 12.085 %

thus

the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %

Elliott Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return (EAR or EAIR) on its consumer loans of 17.1 percent per year. The
Yuri [45]

15.79 % is the rate that bank is requred to give to potential borrowers

<u>Explanation:</u>

\mathrm{EAR}=(1+\mathrm{APR} / \mathrm{m})^{\mathrm{m}}-1

A P R=m\left[(1+E A R)^{1 / m}-1\right]

\mathrm{APR}=365\left[(1+.171)^{1 / 365}-1\right]

A P R=365\left[(1.171)^{0.00273972602}-1\right]

\mathrm{APR}=365 *[1.00043258-1]

A P R=365 * 0.00043258, APR = 0.1578917  

Or 15.79% (it is rounded off )

<u>Where: </u>

EAR = effective annual rate

APR = Annual percentage rate

M = number of compounding

Therefore, the interest of rate that the bank is required by law in order to report to all the potential borrowers is 15.97%

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

500 units

Explanation:

The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)

= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)

= $3,500 ÷ 7

= 500 units

Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units

The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units

hence, the same would be considered
