(x+7)(x-1) = 0 ^x^2 + 6x - 7 = 0x 7x -1
Its really easy if you think it this way.
Answer:
10.25%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%
Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%
Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%
Now,
The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:
= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost
or
= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14
or
= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056
= 0.1025
or
= 0.1025 × 100%
= 10.25%

I believe the answer is “a” or “paying cash dividends.”
Answer:
Closing retained earning is $414,540
Explanation:
The Retained Earnings figure can be calculated using the following equation:
Closing Retained Earnings = Opening Retained Earnings + (Sales - Expenses - Dividends)
Here
Opening balance of Retained Earning is $397,620
Revenues is $56,400
Expenses are $33,840
Dividends paid are $5,640
The purchased equipment is not considered here because it is increase in asset not an increase or decrease in revenue or expenses. So it is not considered here.
So by putting values, we have:
Closing Retained Earnings = $397,620 + ($56,400 - $33,840 - $5,640)
Closing Retained Earnings = $414,540
