Answer:

8.30%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital of the company is  computed using the WACC formula below:

WACC=(We*Ke)+(Wp*Kp)+(Wd*kd)

We=weight of common equity=50%

Ke=cost of retained earnings which is a proxy for the cost of equity=11.50%

Wp=weight of preferred stock=20%

Kp=cost of preferred stock=6.00%

Wd=weight of debt=30%

Kd=after-tax cost of debt=4.50%

WACC=(50%*11.50%)+(20%*6.00%)+(30%*4.50%)

WACC=8.30%

<span>The sum of all the federal deficits over time is known as the "national debt".
</span>
National debt refers to the total of all exceptional debt owed by the government. It incorporates the cash the legislature has obtained, as well as the interest it must pay on the acquired cash. The administration strays into the debt when it doesn't gather enough income to cover the costs it brings about from spending on projects, for example, the military, or building streets and extensions. The incomes originate from corporate and salary charges, and the expenses the legislature forces, for example, for visas and travel permits, student loans, and admission to national parks.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

= Rate (8,90,-1014,1000,0)
