Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 65% common equity and 35% debt, and its tax rate i

s 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $7 million would have a cost of re = 16%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $2 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10%, and an additional $5 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $5.7 million.
Required:

Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000

This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%

Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000

Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%

WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)

= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))

= 12.5%

Simplification is a process used to make something easier to understand. It can also be used to help something more simple to learn and also to easier to do.

earnstyle [38]

The challenge of indirect benefits occurs when the social, economic, or environmental benefits of a company's sustainability commitments do not directly benefit primary customers or clients.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An indirect gain is a profit which can not be directly measured but is still appreciated-as opposed to the more readily quantified direct benefits like decreased headcount or increased revenue. The indirect advantages progress only when the customers or clients are also benefited, otherwise one or another day the failure of such tactics, destruction of  image of firm, etc would happen.

Labor productivity is the best illustration of a technology's indirect gain; greater performance does not necessarily contribute to the elimination of an ongoing cost element but is understood in the context that it helps workers to do their roles better and quicker.

alekssr [168]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Bonds payable Dr,            $1,800,000

(1,800 × $1,000)

    To Discount on bonds payable        $30,000

    To Common stock                              $720,000

(1,800 × 40 × $10)

     To Paid-in-capital in excess of par   $1,050,000

(Being conversion of bond into common stock is recorded)

Therefore for recording the conversion using the book value approach we simply debited the bonds payable and credited the discount on bonds payable, common stock and paid-in-capital in excess of par.
