Answer:

Ke = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ke = 2.2 +  1.32 (10.6 - 2.2)

Ke = 2.2 + 1.32(8.4)

ke = 2.2 + 11.088

ke = 13.288%

kp = D/Po

kp = $5.50/$64

Kp = 0.0859375 = 8.59375%

Kd = 6.7%

Kd after tax = 6.7(1-0.21)  = 5.293

WACC = Ke(E/V) + kp(P/V) Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 13.288(3,075,000/12,419,500) + 8.59375(3,072,000/12,419500) + 5.293(6,272,500/12,419,500)

WACC = 3.29 + 2.126 + 2.6732

WACC  = 8.09%

The correct answer is B

Market value of the company:                                       $

Market value of equity                 = 75,000 x $41 = 3,075,000

Market value of preferred stock = 48,000 x  $64 = 3.072,000

Market value of debt                   = 6500    x  $96.5 = 6,272, 500

Market value of the company                                       12,419,500

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In this question, we need to calculate cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model. Then, we will calculate cost of preferred stock as shown above.  Thereafter, the after-tax cost of debt will be computed as illustrated above. We also need to calculate the market value of the company. Finally, we will calculate weighted average cost of capital as computed above.

Explanation:

Interest is calculated using the formula below.

I = P x i x t

where I = interest

P= principal amount.

i=interest rate

t=time

Interest is given as an annual percentage. A 2.75 % interest will translate to 2.75/100 divided by 12 monthly interest. Therefore, the applicable interest rate is 0.00229 %
