Based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate, the market return and the beta, Davcher's expected rate of return would be 6.5%.

<h3>What is the expected rate of return?</h3>

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected rate of return would be:

= Risk free rate + Beta x Market premium

Market premium:

= Market return - risk free rate

= 8% - 3% rate of treasury bonds

= 5%

Expected rate of return is:

= 3% + 0.70 x 5%

= 6.5%

Answer: The cases in which the Review Commission renders decisions arise from inspections conducted by a Federal agency separate from the Review Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is a part of the Department of Labor. OSHRC, or the Review Commission, and OSHA were created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, but the Act mandated that the Review Commission be an independent agency (i.e., not part of another Federal department) to ensure that parties to agency cases receive impartial hearings.

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

a.

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

b.

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

c.

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4  the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%

meriva

The amount of the payment on May 12 will be the full amount of $230.00

6/10 n/30 means a 6% discount <em>if </em>paid within 10 days and the net amount is due within 30 days. Since the payment was made after 10 days there would be no discount, just the full amount due.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the six month euro interest rate is 1.36%

Explanation:

Spot exchange rate: 1.4 USD/ EUR

6 month forward rate: 1.3950 USD/EUR

Domestic interest rate: 1% pa

Foreign interest rate: the six month euro interest rate?

We have the formula:

Forward rates =  Spot rate * (1+domestic interest rate)/(1+foreign interest rate)

⇔ 1.3950 = 1.4 *(1+1%)/(1+foreign interest rate)

⇔ 1+foreign interest rate = 1.4 *(1+1%)/1.3950

⇔foreign interest rate = 1.01362 - 1 = 0.01362

⇒ the six month euro interest rate is 1.36%
