CG has 1,000,000 shares outstanding and its current market price is $31. If CG’s long-term growth rate of dividends is expected to be 8%, what is the weighted cost of capital for the firm? Assume a marginal tax rate of 40%. Select one: a. .a. 10.9% b. c. 19.6% c. b. 13.6% d. d. 16.9%

Answer:

Current dividend per share paid (Do)

= <u>Total dividend </u>

  No of shares outstanding

= <u>$1,600,000</u>

   1,000,000 shares

= $1.60 per share

Current market price = $31

Growth rate = 8%  = 0.08

Ke = Do<u>(1 + g)</u>  + g

               Po

Ke = $1.60<u>(1 + 0.08)</u> + 0.08

                     $31

Ke = 0.1357 = 13.57%

Interest rate on borrowing (Kd) = 10%

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.40

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 13.57(65/100) + 10(35/100)(1 - 0.4)

WACC = 8.82 + 2.10

WACC = 10.9%

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate cost of equity. The cost of debt has been given, which is the interest rate on long-term borrowing (10%). Since the debt proportion in the capital structure is 35% and equity proportion is 65%, it implies that the value of the firm is 100%.  Then, WACC is the aggregate of cost of each stock and the proportion of each stock in the capital structure.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

c. $180 in 2019

Explanation:

The company uses the accrual method of accounting. Under the method, revenues are reported on the income statement when they are earned, regardless of when the money is actually received or paid.

On July 1, 2017, the company sold a one-year membership and a two-year membership. In 2017, The Maroon & Orange Gym, Inc. has provided service for 6 months of each contracts.

Gross income of one-year membership in 2017 = $40 x 6 = $240

Gross income of one-year membership in 2017 = $30 x 6 = $180

Total income = $240 + $180 = $420

In 2018, the company continued to provide service for 6 months remaining of one-year membership and 12 months remaining of two-year membership.

Gross income of one-year membership in 2018 = $40 x 6 = $240

Gross income of one-year membership in 2018 = $30 x 12= $360

Total income = $240 + $360 = $600

In 2019, the company completed providing service for 6 months remaining of two-year membership.

Gross income in 2019 = $30 x 6= $180

lianna [129]

Answer: State Law.

Explanation:

This dispute falls under the jurisdiction of state law and so that is what the court will use. This is unless the company established a profit-sharing agreement as per the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (ULLCA) and the state that they are in is one of the 19 states and District that enacted the UCCLA.

As the company never established a profit agreement principle, this falls under State law which normally calls for the division of profits equally amongst partners.
