ikadub [295]

Answer: This question lacks the following answers:

a. market share pricing

b. profit maximization

c. demand orientation

d. sales maximization

The correct answer is b)

Explanation:

The practice of giving away free things (mobile accessories) can be good after the launch of a new product range, or even when the company itself is entirely new. However, it is not feasible in the long run, as the company does not generate profit from giving products for free.

Giving discounts is definitely more lucrative, as the discount itself provides enough of an incentive for the customer to buy the accessory. On the company side, profit will be generated (although decreased with the discount, but still generated compared to giving free things).

You are given the following information for Cleen Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 40 percent. Debt: 5,000 6.6 percent

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

WACC = 8.84%

Explanation:

Face value= $ 1000 (assume)

Current price = 1000* 109% = 1090

semianual interest =1000 *.066*6/12 = 33

semiannual months = 20 *2 = 40

Yield to maturity of bonds = [semiannual interest +(face value -current price) /months]/[(face value+price)/2]

= [33 + (1000- 1090 )/40 ]/[(1000 +1090)/2]

= [33 + (-90/40) ] / [2090 /2]

= [33 - 2.25 ] /1045

= 30.75 /1045

= .0294 or 2.94% semiannually or (2.94*2) =5.88 % annually

After tax cost of debt = 5.88 (1- .40 ) = 3.528 %

Market value of bond = 1090 *5000 = $ 5450000

b)cost of equity =Rf +[beta*market premium ]

= 4.6 + [1.12 * 5]

= 4.6 + 5.6

= 10.20 %

market value of equity = 380000*56 =$ 21280000

Total market value of debt and equity =5450000 +21280000

= $ 26730000

weight of debt = 5450000/26730000 = .2039

weight of equity = 21280000 /26730000 = .7961

WACC = (after tax cost of debt *WD)+(cost of equity *We)

= (3.528 * .2039 )+(10.20 * .7961)

= .7194 + 8.1202

= 8.84%
