Answer:

WACC = 7.48%

Explanation:

We can calculate the Firm's WACC by using Excel.

Let's assume this is our Excel Blank Sheet.

          A                    B                                  C                    D

1   Particulars        Rate                             Weight          Weighted rate

2   Debt           = 7.75%(1 - 40%)                 0.45               =B2×C2

                        = 4.65%

3   Equity         = (0.65/(19 × (1 - 10%)))+6%

                        = 9.80%                               0.55             = B3×C3

4                     WACC                                   =SUM(D2:D3)

<h3>Output:</h3>

          A                    B                  C                    D

1   Particulars        Rate              Weight          Weighted rate

2   Debt            = 4.65%             45%               2.09%

3   Equity          = 9.80%             55%               5.39%

4                     WACC                                        7.48%

Calculation to determine What is necessary to hedge the position

Using this formula

N=Vu-Vd/U-D

U = stock price in case of an up move = $36

D = stock price in case of an down move = $26

VU = put option value if stock goes up = $0

VU = put option value if stock goes down = $32 - $26 = $6

Using this formula

N=

N

Now let calculate What is necessary to hedge the position

Value =74 x + 6

Hence,

90x=74x + 6,

x=6/(90-74)

x=6/16

x=.375

satela [25.4K]

Fixed-rate mortgages keep the same rates as they were declared at the time of the contract signing, which can either be great for the person or the bank depending on the economy fluctuations.
