Answer:

16%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is given below:

But before that following calculation should be done

Cost of equity

= Risk free rate of return + beta × (market return - risk free rate)

= 3% + 1.5 × (14% - 3%)

= 19.5%

Market value of equity = 35 million shares ×$15 = $525 million

And, the market value of debt = 200,000 × $905.4 = $181.08 million

Now the WACC is

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

= 19.5% × ($525 ÷ 525 + 181.08) + 9.4% × (1 - 0.39) × ($181.08 ÷  525 + 181.08)

= 19.5% ×0.744 + 5.734% × 0.256

= 15.975%

= 16%

Answer:

ROI 15%

Residual Income $1,350,000

Explanation:

Residual Income is the difference between net income of the company and the required rate of return. It determines the excess of income generate than the minimum return. The formula to calculate the residual income is,

RI = Net operating Income - (Required rate of return * Cost of operating assets)

RI = $4,500,000 - (21% * $15,000,000 )

RI = $1,350,000

ROI = \frac{Net Operating Income}{Capital Employed}

Capital Employed = Sales - Average operating assets

ROI = 15%

Residual income is positive when the department has meet the minimum return requirement. Minimum return is the return that is required by the company stakeholders. The particular projects and activities are selected on the basis of residual income.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Transaction                       Assets            Liabilities        Stockholders' Equity

Issue common stock           Increase               NE                      Increase

Issue preferred stock         Increase               NE                      Increase  Purchase treasury stock     Decrease             NE                       Decrease

Sale of treasury stock         Increase              NE                        Increase  Declare cash dividend            NE                   Increase                   NE

Pay cash dividend               Decrease            Decrease NE

100% stock dividend              NE                        NE                      NE

2-for-1 stock split                    NE                       NE                         NE

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.

When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.

When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.

100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.
