Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%

Naddik [55]

Answer:

$2,435

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares sold = 100

Price of Lowe's stock  = $24.50 per share

Dividend paid = $3.20

Price of buying stock = $20.00 per share

Commission paid = 15 cents per share = $0.15 per share

Now,

Total cost of selling the shares = $24.50 × 100

= $2,450

Total commission = $0.15 × 100

= $15

Therefore,

Proceeds from the short sale = $2,450 - $15

= $2,435

Research any three successful entrepreneurs of your choice.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. Andrew Carnegie

You probably recognize Andrew Carnegie’s name, since he’s one of the most famous and richest industrialists of all time. However, he didn’t accumulate his wealth as a result of formal education or a business-charged background. Instead, he dropped out of school at a young age and spent the major portion of his youth performing manual labor. He was a bobbin boy at a local cotton mill and then became a telegraph messenger. It wasn’t until he taught himself how to read and entered the railroad industry that he began to build the empire that would make him (and his family) a fortune.

2. John Paul DeJoria

You may not have heard of John Paul DeJoria, but you’ve certainly indulged in some of the beauty products attached to his name. Now a multi-billionaire and one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in modern history, DeJoria got his start as a newspaper courier. To make ends meet, he worked as a tow truck driver and a janitor. Eventually, he found his way to working at a hair-care company, where he met his future partner, Paul Mitchell. With minimal experience and a $700 loan, the duo founded a company now known as John Paul Mitchell Systems. From there, DeJoria co-founded Patron Spirits and the House of Blues.

3. Harland Sanders

If someone asked you for a loan to start a restaurant, but had no formal culinary training or experience, would you make that loan? It seems crazy to think anyone could become a successful restauranteur without a background in the industry, but that’s exactly what Harlan “Colonel” Sanders was able to do. When he started his line of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, the only experience he had was cooking for his siblings as a child and working at a number of odd jobs.
