Answer:
WACC for A: 9.05%
WACC for B: 9.50%
WACC for C: 12.20%
WACC for D: 12.65%
Explanation:
WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)
Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%
Thus WACC for a division will be equal: 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).
Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

<span>"a 3/1 ARM" means starting at a fixed interest rate for the first 3 years and the interest rate will adjust every year after the first three years up to the part where it mentions a "3/9 cap". This on the other hand tells us that the increase will be 3% each time there is an interest rate increase and the max increase is 9%. Hence the answer is 9%</span>
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry are as follows
1. Interest expense $214,650
To Cash $214,650
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
The computation is shown below
= $4,770,000 × 9% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $214,650
For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the cash is paid which reduced the cash balance so it is credited
2. Cash $530,000
To Bond payable $530,000
(Being the cash sale of bond is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as cash is received that increased the cash balance and at the same time we credited the bond payable
