Answer:

Merchant Company

On July 1 of the first year, Merchant should record interest expense (rounded to the nearest dollar) of:

=  $22,472.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds = $727,000

Price of bonds =             604,217

Discounts =                  $122,783

Period of bonds = 10 years

Coupon rate of interest = 6%

Market interest rate = 7%

Payment of interest = Semi-annually (Jan. 1 and July 1)

July 1:

Cash payment =   $21,810 ($727,000 * 3%)

Interest based on market rate =  21,148 ($604,217 * 3.5%)

Discount amortization =   $662

Interest expense = $22,472 ($21,810 + $662)

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Task a:

The answer is $24,500.

Task b:

The answer is 17%

Explanation:

<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST  component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

We already know the following:

Projected net income = $21,000

Payout ratio = 30%

Retention ratio = 70%

Debt share = 40%

Equity share = 60%

Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×\frac{Retention ratio}{Equity share}

= $21,000 × \frac{0.70}{0.60}

= $24,500

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.

<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth

Formula:

k(e) = \frac{Do(1+g)}{P(1-0.20)} + 0.05

Where

Do = $2.00

G = 0.05

P = $21/88

= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05

= 0.17 or 17%

<h3>Answer: </h3>

The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
