Even though the company is no longer able to pay the retirees, they are still protected because <u>The </u><u>Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation</u><u> will pay a </u><u>basic benefit. </u>

<u />

The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation:

  • Was created to protect the pensions of millions of Americans
  • Provides a basic benefit to pensioners who need pension payments when their companies no longer pay them

The basic benefit is a percentage of the benefits the retirees receive from their normal plan so it is not much. Retirees will often have to supplement this option.

In conclusion, The <u>Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation </u>will pay out something to the retirees.

If the total assets of a business are $107,000 and its liabilities are $75,000, which of the following statements is correct?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. liabilities are $32,000

Explanation:

Note: In question part $75,000 shall represent equity, as there are only 3 parts of balance sheet assets, equity and liabilities, if assets are given liabilities is what we need to calculate the missing is equity.

Thus, $75,000 is treated as equity.

In that case we have,

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

$107,000 = $75,000 + Liabilities

Assets - Equity = Liabilities

$107,000 - $75,000 = Liabilities

$32,000 = Liabilities

Therefore, correct option is

a. liabilities are $32,000

e) The increase in debt may lñead to an increase in return of the stockholders if they consider the stock riskier than before and will raise their return until the WACC equalize at the initial point beforethe trade-off occurs

Explanation:

Ke 0.12

Equity weight 0.5

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight = 0.5

WACC = 0.12(0.5) + 0.06(0.5)

WACC 9.00000%

c)

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.12

Equity weight 0.3

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight 0.7

WACC = 0.12(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)

WACC 7.80000%

d)

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

<em>Ke 0.16</em>

Equity weight 0.3

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight 0.7

WACC = 0.16(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)

WACC 9.00000%
