Answer:

WACC is 9.26%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of common share x Weightage of common share ) + ( Cost of Preferred share x Weightage of Preferred share ) + ( Cost of debt x Weightage of debt )

Cost of debt is already given as after tax cost of debt.

WACC = ( 12.75% x 45% ) + ( 7.5% x 15% ) + ( 6% x 40% )

WACC = 5.7375% + 1.125% + 2.4% = 9.2625 % = 9.26%

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

B. Suppose a firm wants to maintain a specific TIE ratio. It knows the amount of its debt, the interest rate on that debt, the applicable tax rate, and its operating costs. With this information, the firm can calculate the amount of sales required to achieve its target TIE ratio.

Explanation:

The times interest earned (TIE) ratio measures the company's ability to meet its debt obligations from its current income. The formula for calculating TIE number is 'earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) divided by the total interest payable on all debts.

With the above definition and formula in mind it becomes <u>true</u> that if a firm wants to maintain a specific TIE ratio, If it knows the amount of its debt, the interest rate on that debt, the applicable tax rate, and its operating costs. With this information, the firm can calculate the amount of sales required to achieve its target TIE ratio, because;

With the parameters 'If it knows the amount of its debt, the interest rate on that debt,' It will work out total interest on all debts which is the denominator of TIE.

AND

With the parameters 'the applicable tax rate, and its operating costs' it will work out the Earnings Before Interest and Taxes'

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90

Explanation:

the change in quantity = (6 - 5)/(6 + 5)

                                      = 0.091

the change in income = (330 - 300)/(330 + 300)

                                     = 0.048

the income elasticity = 0.091/0.048

                                   = 1.90

Therefore, The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90
