has a target debt−equity ratio of .50. Its cost of equity is 15 percent, and its cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11.35%

Explanation:

The calculation of WACC is shown below:-

WACC = Cost of equity × (equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)) +  cost of debt × (debt ÷ (Debt + Equity)) × (1 - tax rate)

= 0.15 × (1 ÷ 1.50) + 0.06 × (0.50 ÷ 1.50) × (1 - 0.34)

= 0.15 × 0.67 + 0.06 × 0.33 × 0.66

= 0.1005 + 0.013068

= 11.35%

Therefore for computing the WACC we simply applied the above formula.

An 85-year old risk averse investor is not happy about the minimal return she is earning on her current investments. She is stressed about having enough income because her cost of living has been increasing by more than 10% annually. Her current portfolio composition consists of:

40% Money Market Fund
50% Bonds
10% Equities
What changes should you suggest to her portfolio?


A. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 10% (to 30%) and put the released funds in commodities such as gold
B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds
C. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in Equities, bringing that allocation up to 50%
D. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in U.S. Treasury securities

Answers

Answer:

B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds

Explanation:

First of all, since the investor is risk averse and cannot afford to lose money on any risky investment, she should change the mix of her investment portfolio but without increasing risks. Corporate bonds that are AAA-rated carry a very low risk and pay a little higher than money market funds. So a small decrease in money market fund assets and an increase in AAA-rated bonds should yield a slightly higher return.

Investing in equities would be too risky and US Treasuries pay even less interests than money market funds.

A stock has an expected return of 13.5 percent, its beta is 1.40, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What must the risk-free rate be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

The risk free rate is 6.50%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market

As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.

Let risk free rate be x.

0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)

0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x

0.135 - 0.161  =  x - 1.4x

-0.026  =  -0.4x

-0.026 / -0.4 = x

x =  0.065 or 6.50%

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Faisal has in his savings account and can save an additional per year. If interest rates are​ 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to ​?

Answers

Answer:

5 years and 4 months = 5.33 years

Explanation:

the question is incomplete and it is missing several numbers. I found the following question which I think is the complete:

"Faisal has $12,000 in his savings account and can save an additional $3600 per year. If interest rates are 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to $47,000? "

by the end of year 1, Faisal will have:

$12,000 x (1 + 12%) = $13,440+ $3,600total = $17,040

by the end of year 2, Faisal will have:

$17,040 x (1 + 12%) = $19,084.80+ $3,600total = $22,684.80

by the end of year 3, Faisal will have:

$22,684.80 x (1 + 12%) = $25,406.98+ $3,600total = $29,066.98

by the end of year 4, Faisal will have:

$29,066.98 x (1 + 12%) = $32,487.81+ $3,600total = $36,087.81

by the end of year 5, Faisal will have:

$36,087.81 x (1 + 12%) = $40,418.35+ $3,600total = $44,018.35

Since Faisal is very close to his goal, we can calculate how much money he will have in 6 months:

in 5 years and 6 months, Faisal will have:

$44,018.35 x (1 + 6%) = $46,659.45+ $1,800total = $48,459.45

Faisal's savings are too high in 6 more months, so we can calculate in 3 more months instead:

in 5 years and 3 months, Faisal will have:

$44,018.35 x (1 + 3%) = $45,338.90+ $900total = $46,238.90

Faisal is just a little bit short:

in 5 years and 4 months, Faisal will have:

$44,018.35 x (1 + 43%) = $45,779.08+ $1,200total = $46,979.08

I guess we are close enough because in one more month he will have a significantly higher amount.

Sheffield Auto Supply does not segregate sales and sales taxes at the time of sale. The register total for March 16 is $19,902. All sales are subject to a 7% sales tax. Compute sales taxes payable. Sales taxes payable

Answers

Answer:

Sales tax = Total sales / 100 + Sales Tax rate * Sales Tax rate

Sales tax = {$19,902 / (100 + 7)} * 7

Sales tax = ($19,902 / 107) * 7

Sales tax = $1,302

                 ($19,902 / 107 * 100)

           (To record sales and sales taxes payable)

Answer:

1,302

Explanation:

Sales without tax x (100%+sales tax rate) = sales with tax

sales without tax x 1.07 (100%+7%) = 19902

sales without tax = 19902/1.07

sales without tax = 18600

sales with tax - sales without tax = sales tax payable

19902 - 18600 = 1302

You want to save $98,000 to buy an boat by making an equal, end of year payment into a brokerage account for the next 9 years. If you expect to earn an annual interest rate of 7.75% on your account, how much do you need to deposit each year into your account?

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $7,930.11

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

FV= $98,000

n= 9 years

i= 0.0775

To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (98,000*0.0775) / [(1.0775^9) - 1]

A= $7,930.11

Answer: $7,930

Explanation:

The payments are to be equal so this is an annuity. The expected value is to be $98,000 in 9 years so this is a future value of an Annuity.

The formula is;

FV = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + i]^n-1}{i}[/tex]

98,000 = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + 0.075]^9-1}{0.075}[/tex]

98,000 = P * 12.3581

P = 98,000/12.3581

P = $7,930

Effectiveness of a solution = Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%

Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.

A service company has which of the following costs

a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred

Answers

Answer:

b. Overhead Costs

d. Expensed in the period incurred

Explanation:

-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.

-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.

-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.

-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.

According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.

On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

Assume that the government is currently balancing the national budget so that outlays equal tax revenue.

The government must pay for this by borrowing; it must sell $50 billion worth of Treasury bonds. As a result: Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: b. be in deficit by at least $50 billion.

Explanation:

The Government budget had been balanced but it will now have to spend $50 billion more than it is making. This will mean that Government expenditure will rise by $50 billion over the tax revenue which will lead to a deficit of the same amount.

These are bonds however meaning that the Government would have to pay interest on the $50 billion. This will push the deficit owed to over $50 billion meaning that the Government would be in deficit of at least $50 billion.

A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?

Answers

Answer:

B) plan 1 : worker earning  y = x - 0.14  ,  unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]

   plan 2 : worker earning y  = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x

C) At 128%

D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE

Explanation:

In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance

In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company

B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme

Plan 1 :

y  ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1

unit labor cost = Y / 1

y = 0 - 30

unit labor = 0.3 / x

y = x - 0.14  therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]

plan 2 :

y  ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1,   y  = 0.5x + 0.5

unit labor cost :  Y / 1  =  (0.5x + 0.5) / x

C )  The point at which the two plans break even

0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14

0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x

0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )

x = 0.64 / 0.5 =  1.28 = 128%

D) The company would prefer plan 1

Brunette Company is contemplating investing in a new piece of manufacturing machinery. The amount to be invested is $180,000. The present value of the future cash flows generated by the project is $163,000. Should they invest in this project?

Answers

Answer:

No,  as the net present value comes in negative

Explanation:

As we know that

Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment

where,

Present value os $163,000

And, the initial investment is $180,000

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the net present value is

= $163,000 - $180,000

= -$17,000

Therefore the company should not accept the project as net present value is in negative that is -$17,000

3. There a number of market entry strategies that businesses use in entering into markets outside their countries. a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses. b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?

Answers

Answer:

a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses.

Franchising consists in the licensing of aspects of production and intellectual property to a another party: the franchise.

A Joint Venture is a business union between two or more parties, in which they split profit as well as costs and responsabilities.

b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?

Franchising can be a quicker way to expand into foreign markets. The flexibility of the method, and the lower capital requirements are the reason why. This can be seen in the success that American fast-food brands have had using this method to expand in global markets.

A Joint-Venture can be more difficult to use for market expansion, however, it can be more profitable, because the profit will not be split among as many parties as in franchising, and more importantly, the firm maintains a higher control of the operation.

U.S cars = 40,      Europe cars = 35,   Japan cars = 25

The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square  tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738

A single-channel queuing system has an average service time of eight minutes and an average time between arrivals of 10 minutes. The arrival rate is: Group of answer choices 10 per hour. 12.5 per hour. 6 per hour. 7.5 per hour. 8 per hour.

Answers

The correct answer is B. 6 per hour

Explanation:

The term "arrival rate" refers to the number of customers that arrive at a business during a specific time such as an hour or a day. This is determined by how often customers arrive or the time between arrivals. This concept complements the service rate, which refers to the customers that receive a service during a period of time.

In the case presented, it is known the time between arrivals is 10 minutes, this means it is expected every 10 minutes a new customer arrives. Based on this, each hour the business can expect a total of 6 customers as 60 minutes divided by 10 (time between arrivals) = 6 customers. Thus, the rate of arrival is 6 per hour.

David Ortiz Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% equity. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 12%, and the company's tax rate is 40%. Ortiz's CFO has calculated the company's WACC as 11.35%. What is the company's cost of equity capital

Answers

Answer:

the company's cost of equity capital is 14.75 %.

Explanation:

WACC = ke × (E/V) + kd × (D/V)

Where,

ke = cost of equity

    = this is unknown

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = 55%

kd = cost of debt

     = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)

     = 12% × ( 1 - 0.40)

     = 7.20 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

       = 45%

Therefore,

WACC = ke × (E/V) + kd × (D/V)

11.35% = 55%ke + 7.20 % × 45%

11.35% = 55%ke + 3.24 %

55%ke = 8.11 %

ke = 14.75 %
