Answer:
7%
Explanation:
nominal interest rate = real interest rate + expected inflation rate
nominal interest rate = 5% + 2% = 7%
Usually the nominal interest rate has four major components:
- real interest rate: the net interest rate received by a lender or an investor
- inflation rate: the general rise in the prices of goods and services, as inflation increases, the purchasing power of a currency decreases
- liquidity risk premium: usually collateralized loans include a liquidity risk premium since not all assets can be easily converted to cash.
- credit risk: possibility of the borrower defaulting the loan
Answer:
d.) $38,000
Explanation:
Given that
Acquired value of the plant = $190,000
Recovery period = 5 years
So according to section 179, the total deduction is limit to the 1 by 5 i.e useful life or recovery period of acquired price or purchase price
So, the amount is
= Acquired value of the plant ÷ recovery period
= $190,000 ÷ 5 years
= $38,000
By dividing the acquired value with the recovery period we can get the maximum deduction
Answer:
a.cost of common equity is 14.40%
b.WACC is 10.62%
c.Midwest Electric Company should accept project A since it has a rate of return higher than WACC of 10.62%
Explanation:
The cost of common equity can be ascertained using the stock price formula and changing the subject of the formula to r(cost of common equity)
Stock price=Do*(1+g)/(r-g)
stock price is $20
g is the dividend growth rate at 4%
Do is the dividend just paid $2
20=2*(1+4%)/(r-4%)
20=2.08/r-4%
20(r-4%)=2.08
r-4%=2.08/20
r=(2.08/20)+4%
r=14.40%
WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)
Ke is the cost of equity of 14.40%
E is the 55% or 0.55
D is 45% or 0.45
V=E+D=045+0.55=1
Kd is the cost of debt which is 10%
t is the tax rate at 40% or 0.40
WACC=14.40%*0.55/1+10%*0.45/1*(1-0.4)
WACC=(14.40%*0.55/1)+(10%*0.45/1*0.6)
WACC=10.62%
Midwest Electric Company should accept project A since it has a rate of return higher than WACC of 10.62%
That is good that the interview happened. it would have made a big impact
