Answer:

11.78%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital WACC determines firms cost of capital. It includes all sources of finance which are included in firms capital structure. The WACC is calculated with given formula:  

WACC = E/V Re + D/V * Rd (1 - T)

Re = cost of equity

V = Firms Market value of Debt and Equity

Rd = Cost of debt

E = market value of equity

D = market value of debt

T = Marginal Tax rate

WACC = 14.7 * 1 / 1.45 + 8.1 * 0.45 / 1.45 (1 - .34)

WACC = .1013 + 0.0165

WACC = 11.78%

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a. 24%

b. 12%

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is an incremental tax rate that is paid out of the taxable income of a tax payer. It represents the rate at which the last unit of dollar of the taxable income is taxed. The marginal rate for each income bracket is supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

                               Chuck Marginal Tax Rate

a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:

= $75,000 + $40,000

= $115,000

Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.

b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:

= $75,000 - $40,000

= $35,000

The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according US tax rate schedule.

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.

It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.

Answer:

Income statements and or Cash flow statements.

Explanation:

Income statement and Cash flow statements are required.

Income Statement will give us insight about our costs as we maybe recording sales but if the costs and expenses are too high we are unlikely to be making enough gross profits to be able to pay bills.

Cash flow statements are required as sales may be credit and thus reducing working capital for the company, although they may be making profits but if the debts are uncollected they are unlikely to have cash available to be able to make payments.

Hope that helps.
