Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 12 %
Levered cost of equity:
= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5
= 15%
Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.
Answer: Production Method
Explanation: Gross domestic product, also known as GDP, calculates the total value of products and sevices that are produced in an economy. This in turn measures the total income of a country.
The method that applies in this scenario is the production method. This method focuses on goods, by looking at its final value after deducting the input costs, also known as intermediate goods. Input costs (or intermediate goods) are the cost of materials that were used to make the final product, i.e. the production costs. Once the input costs are deducted from the total value of the goods , what remains becomes the actual income of the goods, the final cost, which is then added to GDP.
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Layla qualifies for $8,000 in housing credits.
These are withdrawn at $500 for every $1,000 she earns above the wage limit of $26,500
Layla's annual income = 35,000 + 7,500
= $42,500
Amount earned above limit = 42,500 - 26,500
= $16,000
Amount of housing credit withdrawn is $500 per thousand so for $16,000, $8,000 will be withdrawn from her housing credit.
Housing credit = 8,000 - 8,000
= $0
