Answer:
Cost of equity = 14.43%
Explanation:
Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%
Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%
We = proportion of equity = 60%
Ke= cost of equity.
let the cost of equity be "y"
WACC = 11.54
11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)
0.1154 = 0.0288 + 0.6y
0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y
y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6
y = 0.1443 × 100
y =14.43%
Cost of equity = 14.43%
Answer:
1,200 shares held at a cost basis of $37.50
Explanation:
Since there are 1,000 shares are purchased
and the stock dividend is 20%
So the number of shares after the dividend is
= 1,000 × (1 + dividend percentage)
= 1,000 × (1 + 0.20)
= 1,000 × 1.20
= 1.200
And, the price per share is
= $44 + $1
= $45
So, the cost basis would be
= $45 ÷ 1.20
= $37.50
hence, the tax status of the investment is 1,200 shares held for cost at $37.50 basis
Answer:
Another term for trade balance would be trade deficit.
