h 21 years to maturity and a quoted price of 108.75. These bonds have a par value of $2,000 and pay interest semiannually. Common stock: 320,000 shares of common stock selling for $66.40 per share. The stock has a beta of 1.09 and will pay a dividend of $4.60 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.4 percent per year indefinitely. Preferred stock: 9,900 shares of 4.70 percent preferred stock selling at $95.90 per share. Market: 10.1 percent expected return, a risk-free rate of 4.55 percent, and a 24 percent tax rate.

Answer:

a. Cost of debt = 5.03%.

b. Cost of equity = 11.47%

c. Cost of preferred stock = 4.90%

Explanation:

a. Calculation of cost of debt

The bond's Yield to Maturity is the before tax cost of debt and it can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * 2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of semiannuals to maturity = Number of years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 21 * 2 = 42

r = semiannual coupon rate = Annual coupon rate / 2 = 7.4% / 2 = 0.074 / 2 = 0.037

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = semiannual coupon rate * Face value = 0.037 * $2,000 = $74 = 74

pv = present value = quoted bond price = 108.75% * fv = 108.75% * 2000 = 2,175 = 2175

fv = face value or par value of the bond = 2000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(42,74,-2175,2000) * 2 ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(42,74,-2175,2000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 6.62%.

Therefore, we have:

After tax cost of debt = YTM * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.62% * (100% - 24%) = 5.03%

Therefore, cost of debt is 5.03%.

b. Calculation of cost of equity

Based on the information in the question, the return on equity can be calculated using the dividend discount model and capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formulae.

b-1. Using the dividend discount model formula, we have:

P = D1 / (r – g) ………………………. (3)

Where:

P = Common stock selling price per share = $66.40

D1 = Next year dividend = $4.60

r = return on equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 5.4%, or 0.054

Substituting the value into equation (3) and solve for r, we have:

66.40 = 4.60 / (r – 0.054)

66.40(r – 0.054) = 4.60

66.40r - 3.5856 = 4.60

66.40r = 4.60 + 3.5856

66.40r = 8.1856

r = 8.1856 / 66.40

r = 0.1233, or 12.33%

b-2. Using CAMP formula, cost of equity can be calculated as follows:

Return on equity = Risk free rate + Stock beta(Expected return – Risk free rate) = 4.55% + (1.09 * (10.1% - 4.55%)) = 10.60%

b-3. The cost of equity can therefore be calculated as the average of the returns of equity from the two formulae is as follows:

Cost of equity = (12.33% + 10.60%) / 2 = 11.47%

c. Calculation of cost preferred stock

Note that since the preferred stock selling price per share is $95.90, it indicates that it par value is $100 and is being sold at a discount. Therefore, we have:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred stock dividend rate * Preferred stock par value) / Preferred stock selling price per share = (4.70% * 100) / 95.90 = 0.0490, or 4.90%

Identify the difference, advantages and disadvantages between Intuition Assessment and Structured Analytical Techniques (SAT).
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Structured analytic techniques (SATs) are the ways which coherent thought are analysed in a systematic and transparent way so as to share and be critiqued by others.

Intuition Assessment on the other hand, is the way a person reacts to his Intuition and chooses to act on them.

SATs are more useful when it comes to analytical or logical decisions while IA is useful in making in the spot decision based on gut feelings.

How is health insurance different from auto insurance?
Bess [88]

While both types of insurance are required, if you do not have health insurance, you will be required to pay a fee on your taxes.

FYI, while this used to be true the United States has recently removed the requirement known as the "individual mandate" for people to have health insurance or face a penalty.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Total contribution margin= $1,884,180

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Materials 150

Direct Labor 28

Variable Manufacturing Overhead 25

Variable Selling 16

Sales in units= 10,130

Selling price= $420

Direct material cost= 150*1.1= $165

<u>First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:</u>

Unitary contribution margin= selling price - total unitary variable cost

Unitary contribution margin= 420 - (28 + 25 + 16 + 165)

Unitary contribution margin= $186

<u>Now, the total contribution margin:</u>

Total contribution margin= 10,130*186

Total contribution margin= $1,884,180

densk [106]

Answer:

Opportunity cost is the loss of alternative when someone chooses an alternative.

Number of Hours = 3 hours

Earning per hour = $7

Total opportunity cost = $7 x 3

Total opportunity cost = $21

As Max has to bear the loss of $21 earning when he goes to the event in the museum. So this is his opportunity cost.
