Answer:

The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:

Alternative B.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Alternatives:

                                                A            B

First Cost                           $5,000     $9,200

Uniform Annual Benefit     $1,750      $1,850

Useful life, in years                4              8

Rate of return                       7%            7%

Annuity factor                   3.387          5.971

Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35

Net cash flow                 $927.25     $1,846.35

b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A.  Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 9%, and its tax rate is 40%. It can issue preferred stock that pa
klio [65]

Answer:

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p)  = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = 16.18%

b)

WACC = 14%

c)

project 1 and project 2

Explanation:

Given that:

Debt rate (r_d) = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4

Dividend per share (D_p) = $6

Price per share (P_p) = $57

Common stock price (P_0)= $39

Expected dividend (D_1) = $4.75

Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04

The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (w_e), 15% debt (w_d), and 10% preferred stock  (w_p)

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) =`r_d(1-T)= 0.09(1-0.4)=0.09*0.6=0.054

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p) = \frac{D_p}{P_P}=\frac{6}{57}=0.1053 = 10.53%

r_p = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = \frac{D_1}{P_0} +g=\frac{4.75}{39} +0.04=0.1618

r_e = 16.18%

b)

WACC=w_dr_d(1-T)+w_er_e+w_pr_p\\WACC=0.15*0.09(1-0.4)+0.75*0.1618+0.1*0.1053=0.14

WACC = 14%

c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted
