Answer:

Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be higher by 0.64% if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of WACC when all of its equity capital is raised from retained earnings

This can be calculated using WACC formula as follows:

WACCR = (WS * CE) + (WP * CP) + (WD * CD * (1 - T)) ………………… (1)

Where;

WACCR = Weighted average cost of capital when all of its equity capital is raised from retained earnings = ?

WS = Weight of common equity = 36%, or 0.36

WP = Weight of preferred stock = 6%, or 0.06

WD = Weight of debt = 58%, or 0.58

CE = Cost of equity = 12.4%, or 0.124

CP = Cost of preferred stock = 9.3%, 0.093

CD = Before-tax cost of debt = 8.2%, or 0.082

T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

WACCR = (0.36 * 0.124) + (0.06 * 0.093) + (0.58 * 0.082 * (1 - 0.40))

WACCR = 0.078756, or 7.8756%

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

WACCR = 7.88%

Step 2: Calculation of WACC if it raises new common equity

This can also be calculated using WACC formula as follows:

WACCE = (WS * CE) + (WP * CP) + (WD * CD * (1 - T)) ………………… (2)

Where;

WACCE = Weighted average cost of capital if it raises new common equity = ?

WS = Weight of common equity = 36%, or 0.36

WP = Weight of preferred stock = 6%, or 0.06

WD = Weight of debt = 58%, or 0.58

CE = Cost of equity = 14.2%, or 0.142 (Note: This is the only thing that has changed compared to what we have in Step 1 above.)

CP = Cost of preferred stock = 9.3%, 0.093

CD = Before-tax cost of debt = 8.2%, or 0.082

T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

WACCE = (0.36 * 0.142) + (0.06 * 0.093) + (0.58 * 0.082 * (1 - 0.40))

WACCE = 0.085236, or 8.5236%

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

WACCE = 8.52%

Step 3: Caculation of how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.

This can be calculated as follows:

Percentage by which WACC is higher = WACCE - WACCR

Percentage by which WACC is higher = 8.52% - 7.88%

Percentage by which WACC is higher = 0.64%

Therefore, Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be higher by 0.64% if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.

John Jansen, an employee of Redwood Company, had gross earnings for the month of May of $4,000. FICA taxes are 7.65% of gross ea
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The net pay for John Jansen is $2894

Explanation:

For calculating the net pay for John Jansen we have to subtract all the FICA taxes and federal income taxes and also state income taxes, with authorized voluntary deductions also being subtracted from the gross earnings .

Given information -          Gross earning                         = $4000

                                         FICA taxes                                = 7.65%

                                         Federal income taxes               = $675

                                         State income taxes                    = 3%

                                       Authorized voluntary deductions = $5

One important to remember here is that FICA taxes and State taxes would be calculated on the gross earnings of John

FICA taxes = 7.65% of $4000

                  = .0765 x $4000

                  = $306

State taxes = 3% of $4000

                   = .03 x $4000

                   = $120

NET PAY = gross earnings - FICA tax - state tax - federal income tax -

                                                         authorized voluntary deduction

   = $4000 - $306 - $120 - $675 - $5

   = $2894

Which of the following statements is​ true?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. None of the above.

Explanation:

When there's a change in demand, the demand curve shifts and only quantity demanded changes- it either increases or reduces but price doesn't change. A change in demand is caused by factors that affect a consumer's demand for a good other than the price of the commodity.

Some of the factors that cause a change in demand include:

1. Change in income

2. Change in taste

3. Season

When there's a change in supply, the supply curve shifts and quantity supplied changes but there's no change in price. Change in supply is caused by other factors that affect supply other than price.

Crossroad chooses to report a financial asset at its fair value. The asset trades in two different markets; however, neither mar
Alex

Answer:$81

Explanation:

The options given are:

a. $76

b. $80

c. $81

d. $82

If the principal market that is, the market that the greatest volume of activity can't be identified, then the most advantageous market would be used to determine the fair value of a financial asset.

The most advantageous market is the market that has the highest net price, after transaction cost has been considered even though the transaction costs is not included into the fair value. Therefore, the second market gives the highest net price of $80 after the consideration of the transaction costs, hence, it should be utilized for fair value purposes.

The fair value amount include the transaction costs, which give $80 + $1 = $81

The fair value amount is $81.
