shtirl [24]

Answer:

$961.54

Explanation:

To calculate the real price of the TV you would have to determine the present value of the TV's price. The future price of the TV is $1,000 and your discount rate is 4% annual (the same as your bank), so the present value of the TV =

present value = future value / (1 + rate) = $1,000 / 1.04 = $961.54

kvasek [131]

Answer: 9.7%

Explanation:

Given Data

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)

= 0.096 * 100

= 9.6%

Unlevered Equity Cost ;

ReU= Wd × rd + We × re

= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%

= 9.28%

Levered Equity Cost:

New Debt = 60%,

New Equity = 40%,

New rd = 9%

ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)

= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)

= 0.097 * 100

= 9.7%

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Jahwana earns $40,000:

her 401k contributions = 15% x $40,000 = $6,000

Jahwana's employer contributes $1 per $1 that she contributes but only up to 5%, so her employee's 401k contribution = 5% x $40,000 = $2,000

total annual contribution = $6,000 + $2,000 = $8,000

Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. T
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%
