Answer:

0.147 or 14.7%

Explanation:

Equity (E) =$7

Debt (D) = $1

Cost of equity capital (Ce) = 0.16

Pretax cost of debt (Cd) = 0.08

Tax rate (r) = 0.3

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is given by the following relationship:

WACC=\frac{E}{E+D}*C_e +\frac{D}{E+D}*C_d*(1-r)\\WACC = \frac{7}{7+1}*0.16 +\frac{1}{7+1}*0.08*(1-0.3)\\WACC= 0.14+0.007\\WACC =0.147 = 14.7\%

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is 0.147 or 14.7%.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Indirect taxes

Explanation:

Indirect taxes are the taxes levied on transactions as opposed to direct taxes that are imposed on incomes. An indirect tax is added to the prices of goods and services and collected by the seller or retailer. The retailer acts as the tax intermediary and submits the taxes collected to the government.

Examples of Indirect taxes include excise duty tax, value-added tax, and sales tax.  Gas attracts sales tax and road maintenance tax. These taxes increase the price of gas, making them indirect taxes.

Alika [10]

Answer:

The book debt-to-value ratio is 0.57

Explanation:

The computation of the book debt-to-value ratio is shown below:

Book debt-to-value ratio = (Book value) ÷ (book value of debt)

where,

Book value is $30.0 per share

Book value of debt = Outstanding shares × book value + long term debt

= 0.730 × $30 + $30.50

= $21.90 + $30.50

= $52.40

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

=  $30.00  ÷ $52.40

= 0.57
