illion and is paying $1.6 million in dividends. To finance a transmission pipe line, CG can borrow $2 million at a cost of 10%, the same rate that CG is currently paying on a total of $15 million long-term debt. 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.

1. How much interest would you pay on a loan of $1,230 for 15 months at 15 percent APR if the interest is 18.75 per $100?

1. How much interest would you pay on a loan of $1,230 for 15 months at 15 percent APR if the interest is 18.75 per $100?


 The chart probably refers to interest per $100 of loan. So, the interest for a $1,230 loan would be (1230/100) * 18.75 = 230.625 ~ 230.63
So, the answer will be B $230.63.


2. Sherri borrowed $3,200 at 13 percent APR for 18 months. If she must pay 19.5 per $100, what is the total interest?
3,200 / 100 = 32 ... x 19.5 = 624 
Principal x int rate x time = 3200 x .13 x 1.5 yr = 624 interest

So, the answer will be the A $624.


3. What is the total amount that Sherri (in question number 2) will repay?

The correct answer will be the $3,824.

A business consultant earns a flat fee for his work as well as an hourly fee. He charges his clients at a rate of $75 per hour.
Delicious77 [7]
Well...if he earns $75 an hour....and he worked for 20 hours...that's
75 * 20 which = 1500
Now it says he also earns a flat fee....since the question states he billed the client 1800...and he only earned 1500 of it...that must mean that his flat fee would be
1800 - 1500 = 300
So his flat fee is 300...and his variable charge...is 75x (75 dollars per hour)
in an equation...this would look like
C(x) = 75x + 300

Rachel initiated the practice of company visits as part of reaching out to her company’s loyal customers . She set up a campaign
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Rachel has displayed the explicit concept of CSR

Explanation:

The corporate sector has a duty towards its very own business, investors as well as towards the society. Subsequently, every corporate unit must have a duty regarding the upliftment of society which is comprehensively considered as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The social duty of a business demonstrates standards and commitments by the corporate leadership to take proper activities which can ensure and improve the welfare of society alongside securing business interest.

Corporate social responsibility has been accepted more and more in the recent past. This is because the actions of the corporate sector most of the time cause negative effects to the society, therefor taking up this responsibility towards the society aims at giving back to the society while at the same time achieving their business goals.

The CSR can be divided two two main concepts; implicit and explicit Corporate social responsibility (CSR). Explicit CSR alludes to corporate rules and arrangements that accept and accountability in the interest of society.  They regularly comprise of deliberate projects by  companies to combine social and business worth and address issues viewed as being part of their social obligation. An example is a move by various corporations to provide relief aid to the victims of hurricane Katrina in 2005. On the other hand, implicit CSR refers to the role of corporations in the formal and informal institution for the benefit of the society. It usually comprises of qualities, standards  and rules which bring about obligatory and standard prerequisites that need to be addressed by the organizations.

A major key difference between implicit and explicit CSR is that implicit CSR is usually thought of as a mandatory and involuntary exercise as a reaction to it's environment, while explicit CSR is often seen as a deliberate and voluntary exercise. In our case, Rachel displayed the explicit concept of CSR since the intent was deliberate and voluntary towards the benefit of the society while at the same time improving the image of the company in the mind of the loyal customers.
