Answer:

a). Arithmetic average return=12.80%

b). The variance of the company's returns=116.2

c). Standard deviation=10.78

Explanation:

a). The arithmetic average return can be expressed as;

Arithmetic average return=Sum of returns/Number of returns

where;

Sum of returns=8%+(-15%)+19%+31%+21%=64

Number of returns=5

replacing;

Arithmetic average return=64/5=12.80%

b). Variance of the company's returns

Step 1: Write down formula for variance

Variance=∑(Xi-X)²/n-1

where;

Xi=term in data set

X=sample mean

∑=sum

n=sample size

Step 2: write down each data set

X1=8%, X2=-15%, X3=19%, X4=31%, X5=21%

Step 3: Subtract the mean from each data set

Take the absolute value of each data

X1-X=8-12.8=-4.8

X2-X=15-12.8=2.2

X3-X=19-12.8=6.2

X4-X=31-12.8=18.2

X5-X=21-12.8=8.2

Step 4: Square each result and sum

∑(Xi-X)²=4.8²+2.2²+6.2²+18.2²+8.2²=464.8

Step 5: Divide by n-1

n=number of data points=5

n-1=5-1=4

∑(Xi-X)²/n-1=464.8/4=116.2

The variance of the company's returns=116.2

c). Standard deviation=√variance=√116.2

Standard deviation=10.78

1. Cash Dr $50,500

        To Note payable $50,500

(Being the amount borrowed is recorded)                    

2. Cash Dr $61,200

        To Note payable $61,200

(Being the amount borrowed is recorded)          

3. Interest expense $2,020

         To Interest payable $2,020

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $50,500 × 8% × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $2,020        

4. Interest expense $612

         To Interest payable $612

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $61,200 × 6% × 2 months ÷ 12 months

= $612    

5. Note payable $61,200

    Interest expense $306

   Interest payable $612

          To Cash $62,118       ($61,200 + $918)

(Being the principal and the interest is recorded)

= $61,200 × 6% × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= $2,020

5. Note payable $50,500

    Interest expense $1,010

   Interest payable $2,020

          To Cash $62,118       ($50,500 + $3,030)

(Being the principal and the interest is recorded)

= $50,500 × 8% × 9 months ÷ 12 months

= $3,030

Fama’s Llamas has a WACC of 9.7 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 7.5 percent.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

0.4766

Explanation:

Given:

WACC = 9.7%

Company’s cost of equity = 12%

Pretax cost of debt = 7.5%

Tax rate = 35%

Now,

WACC

=  Weight × Cost of equity + (1 - weight) × Pretax cost of debt × (1-tax rate)

or

0.097 = weight × 0.12 + ( 1 - weight ) × 0.075 × (1 - 0.35)

or

0.097 = 0.12 × weight + 0.04875 - 0.04875 × weight

or

0.04825 = 0.07125 × weight

or

weight = 0.6772

also,

weight = \frac{\textup{Equity}}{\textup{Debt + Equity}}

or

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{weight}}  = \frac{\textup{Debt+equity}}{\textup{Equity}}

or

\frac{1}{0.6772} = \frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  + 1

or

1.4766 = \frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  + 1

or

\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  = 0.4766
