Solution:

MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding

MV of equity=51*43800

                    =2233800

MV of Bond=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par

MV of Bond=1000*5000*0.96

                   =4800000

MV of Preferred equity=Price*number of shares outstanding

MV of Preferred equity=83*10000

                                    =830000

MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond+ MV of Preferred equity

                 =2233800+4800000+830000

                 =7863800

Weight of equity = MV of Equity/MV of firm

Weight of equity = 2233800/7863800

W(E)=0.2841

Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm

Weight of debt = 4800000/7863800

W(D)=0.6104

Weight of preferred equity = MV of preferred equity/MV of firm

Weight of preferred equity = 830000/7863800

W(PE)=0.1055

Cost of equity

As per CAPM  , Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium)

                       Cost of equity % = 3.6 + 1.54 * (7.5)

                       Cost of equity % = 15.15

Cost of debt

                K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

                  k=1

                 K =13x2

960 =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^13x2

                  k=1

YTM = 8.5146699304

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 8.5146699304*(1-0.21)

                                   = 6.726589245016

cost of preferred equity

cost of preferred equity = Preferred dividend/price*100

cost of preferred equity = 7/(83)*100

                                       =8.43

WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)+Cost of preferred equity*W(PE)

WACC=6.73*0.6104+15.15*0.2841+8.43*0.1055

WACC =9.3%

zmey [24]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

For a 20 workday month,

cost of gas and productivity = $4 per day

cost of commuting = cost of gas and productivity × 20 workday month

                               = $4 × 20

                               = $80.

The total rent he is paying currently is $600 per month that does not include the commuting cost.

Hence, the individual must willing to pay a total of:

= Total rent + Cost of commuting

= $600 + $80

= $680 for an apartment downtown.

Thus, the total amount to be paid willingly is $680.
