Answer:
a. 8.79%
Explanation:
WACC = Weight of debt * Pretax cost * (1 - Tax) + Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity
Value of Equity = 10,700 * $63 = $674,100
Value of debt = 320 * $1000 * 93.6% = $299,520
Weight of Debt = $299,520/($299,520 + $674,000) = 30.76%
Weight of Equity = $674,000/($299,520 + $674,000) = 69.24%
WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * (1 - 40%) + 69.24% * 11.13%
WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * 0.60 + 69.24% * 11.13%
WACC = 0.010870584 + 0.07706412
WACC = 0.087934704
WACC = 8.79%
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
The above means that for every $1 increase in the market value in a long margin account, the SMA increases by $0.50
If the market value rises to $22,000, the account will show
Long market value - Debit = Equity % SMA
$22,000 - $10,000 = $12,000
Against $22,00 of market value, 50% can be borrowed or $11,000. Since the debit is $10,000, an additional $1,000 can be borrowed . This is the SMA
Answer:
Real GDP will decrease by $50 billion.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the net effect of a reduction in consumption of $10 billion, we need to identify the multiplier first.
Multiplier = 1 / marginal propensity to save
Marginal propensity = 1 - marginal propensity to consume = 1-0.8 = 0.2
Multiplier = 1 /0.2 = 5
The net change then of a reduction by 10 billion = 10 * 5 = $50 billion
Hope that helps.
