LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 perce

nt coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at the same cost of its current bonds but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond (Hint: the coupon rate on the new bonds = the YTM on existing bonds). The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.

Answer:

9.72%

Explanation:

Maturity = 34

Par-value = -1000

Coupon rate = 6%

Coupon PMT = -60

Value of bond = 1152

Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)

Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%

Annual Yield = 10%

Tax rate = 40%

After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%

Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium

Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6

Cost of equity = 9.36%

Particulars  Value per    No of        Market   Weight  Cost of     Product

So, the WACC of the firm is 9.72%

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Stronger

Explanation:

Given that inflation affects trade flows, as the higher price of commodities have negative impacts on exports rates. Thus, all things being equal, it is expected that high inflation should cause downward pressure on the exchanger rate of Krendo.

Hence, the inflation effect will be STRONGER than the interest rate effect in influencing the exchanger rate of Krendo against the U.S. dollar.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a debit to Accounts Payable for $1,400 and a $1,400 credit to Purchase Returns allowances

Explanation:

Periodic inventory system is one that updates information on inventory on a periodic basis. This is opposite of perpetual inventory system that requires update of inventory system at all times.

In the scenario the merchandiser bought the goods on account. That means he did not pay cash but rather bought on credit.

On purchasing the items accounts payable will be credited thereby increasing the account balance.

Since the items are being returned a debit will be applied to accounts payable resulting in a decrease in the account balance.

A credit will now be posted to purchase returns allowances to show that products have been returned by a buyer
