Answer:

d. decrease the firm's WACC.

Explanation:

As per WACC formula

WACC = ( Weight of Common Equity x Cost of Common Equity ) + ( Weight of Common Debt x Cost of Common Debt x ( 1 - Tax rate ) ) + ( Weight of Preferred Equity x Cost of Preferred Equity )

By assuming the values to prove the answer

Weights

Common equity = 55%

Preferred Equity = 15%

Debt = 30%

Costs

Common equity = 15%

Preferred Equity = 8%

Debt = 12%

Tax rate is 15%

Placing values in the formula

WACC = ( 55% x 15% ) + ( 30% x 12% x ( 1 - 15% ) ) + ( 15% x 8% )

WACC = 8.25% + 3.06% + 1.2% = 12.51%

Keeping others values constant, Now increase the Tax rate to 25% and placing vlaues in the formula

WACC = ( 55% x 15% ) + ( 30% x 12% x ( 1 - 25% ) ) + ( 15% x 8% )

WACC = 8.25% + 2.7 + 1.2% = 12.15%

Hence the WACC is decreased from 12.51% to 12.15% when the tax rate is increased from 15% to 25% keeping other values constant.

-- to record December 31st, 2021--

Explanation:

First, we solve for the proceeds from the bonds payable:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 26,100 (435,000 x 12% / 2)

time 8 ( 4 years x 2)

yield to maturity 0.04 ( 8% / 2)

$26100 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-8} }{0.04} = PV\\$

PV $175,724.6412

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 435,000.00

time 8.00

rate 0.04

$\frac{435000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} } = PV$

PV 317,850.24

PV c $175,724.6412

PV m $317,850.2392

Total $493,574.8804

We now build the amortization schedule.

We take this value, we multiply by the interest rate and then, solve for amortization and ending carrying value.

To record the redemption:

accrued interest:

435,000 x 0.12 x 4/12 (months from June to oct) = 17,400

premium:

480,606.6 - 435,000 = 45,606.6

proportional of premium:

45,606 / 435,000 x 130,500 = 13.681,98

we now solve for the gain/loss on redemption:

130,500 + 13,681.98 + 17,400 = 161.581,9 value redeem

for cash 136,500

gain on redemption 25.081,98

bonds payable 130,500.00 debit

premium on bp 13,681.98 debit

interest expense 17,400.00 debit

gain on redemption 25,081.98 credit

cash 136,500.00 credit

Now, we solve for Dec 31st, 2021 entry.

bonds payable: 435,000 - 130,500 = 304,500

premium: 45,606 - 13,681.98 = 31.924,02

interest expense:

(304,500 + 31,924.02) x 0.04 = 13,456.96

cash outlay:

304,500 x 0.06 = 18,270

amortization 18,270 - 13,456.96 = 4,813.04
