Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95 ;

PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes

PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;

Explanation:

PLAN A :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.39 per minute

Evening = $0.19 per minute

PLAN B :

Service charge = $20

Daytime = $0.49 per minute

Evening = $0.14 per minute

PLAN C :

Service charge = $20

225 minutes = $75

Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute

A.)

Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.

PLAN A:

(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40

PLAN B:

(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40

PLAN C:

$20 + $75 = $95

b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?

PLAN A:

20 + 0.39D = 95

0.39D = 95 - 20

D = 75 / 0.39

D = 192.31

Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has
frutty [35]

Answer:

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.

Explanation:

We have to find current weights,  

Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million  

Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million

Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million

Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10

Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%

Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n

= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10

= $0.8 million

Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million

Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%

Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%

Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital

= 0.2857 x 7.5

= $2.14 million

Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%  

Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)

= 18.4%

The weighted average cost of capital:-  

WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity

= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%

= 15.87%
