Answer:

the company's WACC is 10.04%

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted. It shows the risk of the company.

<em>Capital Source           Market Value        Weight           Cost Total     Weight</em>  

Debt                            $8,400,000            27.71%             4.389 %      1.22%

Common stock           $24,190,000           71.17%              12.2%         8.68%

Preferred stock           $1,400,000              4.12%               3.5%         0.14%

Total                          $ 33,990,000          100.00%                            10.04%

<u><em>Calculation of Market Value and Cost of Debt</em></u>

Market Value = 8,000×($1,000×105%) = $8,400,000

Cost of Debt = interest × (1 - tax rate)

                      = 5.7% × ( 1-0.23)

                      =  4.389 %

<u><em>Calculation of Market Value and Cost of </em></u><u>Common stock</u>

Market Value = 410,000× $59 = $24,190,000

Cost of Common stock = Risk free Rate + Beta × Market Premium

                                       = 4.5% + 1.10× 7%

                                       = 12.2%

<u><em>Calculation of Market Value and Cost of </em></u><u>Common stock</u>

Market Value = 17,500× $80 = $1,400,000

Cost of Preferred stock = 3.5%

on september 30 world co. borrowed $1,000,000 on a 9% note payable. World paid the first of four quarterly payments of $264,200
goldenfox [79]

Answer: The appropriate entry for the note payable as at 31 December is $758,300.

Explanation: The interest expense on the note is calculated as: $1,000,000 *9/12 *3/12 months = $22,500. The amount paid for the first of the quarterly payment was $264,200. Therefore, note principal repayment can be derived by subtracting the interes accrued from the actual payment, that is, $264,200 minus $22,500 = $241,700. To get the principal note balance, you would subtract $241,700 from $1,000,000, leaving a balance of $758,300.

The appropriate adjusting entries would be:

On 30 September: Debit Cash $1,000,000, Credit Note payable (current liabilities) $1,000,000

Monthly interest accrual: Dr Interest expense $7,500 Credit Interest payable $7,500

On first payment of the quarter, the entity would raise these entries: Dr Interes payable $22,500, Dr note payable (current liabilities) $241,700 Credit Cash $264,200.
