Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

23.16%

Explanation:

net amount of money received by Wliey Oakley = 7,750,000 stocks x $21.39 per stock = $165,772,500

total flotation costs including direct and indirect costs = [($26.30 - $21.39) x 7,500,000] + $1,350,000 + $210,000 = $38,385,000

flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised = $38,385,000 / $165,772,500 = 0.2316 = 23.16%

what is the book value and market value if it was liquidated to day i would receive 7.65 million in cash after paying 9.5 millio
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The market value of capital would be 11.15 million

Explanation:

Book value of an asset is the value at which the asset and liabilities are currently reflecting in the balance sheet of a firm. The market value is the value at which these assets and liabilities are currently valued as per present market rates. For example : Land value normally appreciates over time and eventhough it is purchased at say $100.000/-, its present value market valuation rate could be $300,000/-. This is the difference between a book value and market value.

In this case, on sale of current assets, a profit of 13 million would be made. Out of this, 9.5 million current liability is paid. Remaining is 3.5 million. Cash received after paying current liabilities is 7.65 million. Hence adding 3.5million+7.65million = 11.15million is the market value of capital which was originally 8.5 million.

                       Book Value             Market Value             Difference

Capital                8.5                            11.15

Current Liability   9.5                           9.5

Current Asset        22                           35                         13

Paid for CL                                                                          9.5

Remaining value                                                                 3.5

Cash Recd                                                                           7.65

Mkt value of capital                                                             11.15

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Variable cost= $73.50

Explanation:

The high low method is used to get the fixed and variable cost of a business activity given limited data. It involves taking the highest and lowest points, then comparing the total cost at these points.

We use the following formula

Variable cost= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity unit - Lowest activity unit)

Variable cost= (207,250- 97,000)/ (5,900-4,400)

Variable cost= 110,250/ 1,500

Variable cost= $73.50
