Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000  + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now  

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally  

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1  - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%

John buys a $1,000 bond that pays 6% annual interest at 75. what is john's annual yield?
lina2011 [118]

To calculate the current yield of bonds.

We have the given par value of $1000, a market price of $750 and an interest rate of 6%.

Formula of current yield: 

Yield =  (interest rate * par value)/(market price) * 100%

         =  ((0.06 *  $1000)/$750) * 100%

         = ( $60/$750) * 100%

         =0.08 * 100%

         = 8%
