Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 25% debt and 75% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its before-tax cost of debt is 13%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. The current stock price is P0 = $22.00. The last dividend was D0 = $3.00, and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of common equity and its WACC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of common equity is 18.64%.

WACC is 15.93 %.

Explanation:

Cost of Equity is the return that is required by providers of Capital in form of Common Stocks.

This can be determined using the Growth Model as the information permits use of such method.

Cost of Equity = Current Dividend / Current Market Price + Expected Growth Rate

                       = $3.00 / $22.00 + 0.05

                       = 0.1864 or 18.64%

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) + Kp × (P/V)

where,

Ke = cost of equity

    = 18.64%

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = 75%

Kd = cost of debt

     = Interest × (1 - market rate)

     = 0.13 × (1 - 0.40)

     = 0.078 or 7.80 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

       = 25%

Therefore,

WACC = 18.64% × 75% + 7.80 % × 25%

           = 15.93 %

d. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good.

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all of its resources are fully utilised.

As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increases as more and more of that good is produced.

Economists consider both explicit costs and implicit costs when measuring economic profit. The reason they consider implicit costs is that

Answers

Answer:

a business must cover its opportunity costs as well as its out-of-pocket expenses to be truly profitable.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out a particular action

Economic profit = Total revenue - (implicit cost + explicit cost)

For example , a man leaves his job where he earns $50,000 to start his business. the total revenue of his business is $100,000 while explicit cost is $50,000

Accounting profit = $100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000

Economic profit =  $50,000 - $50,000 = 0

Assume the following: (1) the interest rate on 6-month treasury bills is 8 percent per annum in the United Kingdom and 4 percent per annum in the United States; (2) today's spot price of the pound is $1.50 while the 6-month forward price of the pound is $1.485.If the price of the 6-month forward pound were to ____, U.S. investors would no longer earn an extra return by shifting funds to the United Kingdom.a. Rise to $1.52b. Rise to $1.53c. Fall to $1.48d. Fall to $1.47

Answers

Answer:

d. Fall to $1.47

Explanation:

currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.

But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.

Anderson sold a property to Kelly. The contract contained the following statement: "Buyer to accept the property in an 'as is' condition." Both the seller and the broker knew that the plumbing was in a major state of disrepair, but did not tell Kelly. Would an action against the broker and the seller be successful?

Answers

Answer:

The action against the seller by Kelly would not be successful. This is because, the contract agreement drafted by the seller contains that clause "as in" condition. It would be believed that, Kelly saw the condition in the contract, but still went ahead to purchase the house by signing the seller's contract agreement of sell. Whatever state the house is in would be taken by Kelly.
