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 %

Answer:

Present value of the cash inflow= $69,086.97

Explanation:

<em>An annuity is a series of annual cash outflows or inflows which payable or receivable for a certain number of periods. If the annual cash flow is expected to increase by a certain percentage yearly, it is called a growing annuity. </em>

To work out the the present value of a growing annuity,  we use the formula:

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

A- annual cash flow - 20,000

r- rate of return - 8%

g- growth rate - 3%

n- number of years- 4

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity (winnings) as follows.  

A/(r-g)  = 20,000/(0.08-0.03) = $400,000

(1- (1+g/1+r)^n) = 1 -(1.03/1.08)^4 =0.17271

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)  =400,000 × 0.17271 =69,086.97

Present value of the cash inflow = $69,086.97

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$240.76

Explanation:

The formula to determine the annual deposit is :

p = FV / annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

Annuity factor = (1.07^11 - 1) / 0.07 = 15.783599

p = $3800 / 15.783599 = $240.76
