Answer:

The WACC is 8.66%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure which can have 3 components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. We take the weighted average of these components and their respective costs to calculate WACC. Furthermore, we take the after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation and that is why we multiply the cost of debt by (1-tax rate).

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

WACC = 0.33  *  0.065  *  (1-0.28)  +  0.08 * 0.06  +  0.59 * 0.1125

WACC = 0.086619 or 8.86619% rounded off to 8.66%

Sati [7]

Answer:

Their underlying asset beta is closest to is 1.08

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Debt is given as $78 billion

Equity is given as $142 billion

equity beta given as 1.68

Therefore, in order to calculate the underlying asset beta we would have to use the formula of the the equity beta for a levered firm as follows:

betaE =beta A [1 + (Debt / Equity)]

1.68 = \beta A [1 + ($78 B/ $142 B)]

1.68 = \beta A [1 + 0.5493]

betaA = 1.68 / 1.5493

betaA = 1.08

Their underlying asset beta is closest to is 1.08

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $73,551.72

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A truck costs​ $316,000 and is expected to be driven​ 116,000 miles during its​ five-year life. The residual value is expected to be zero. The truck is driven​ 27,000 miles during the first​ year.

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced

Annual depreciation= (316,000/116,000)*27,000= $73,551.72

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the remaining part to complete the question:

1. In transaction (a), determine the present value of the debt.

2-a. In transaction (b), what single sum amount must the company deposit on January 1,?

2-b. What is the total amount of interest revenue that will be earned?

3. In transaction (c), determine the present value of this obligation.

4-a. In transaction (d), what is the amount of each of the equal annual payments that will be paid on the note?

4-b. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be incurred?

Explanation:

a) A sum of $6,000 is to be paid at the end of each year for 7 years and the principal amount $115,000 to be paid at the end of 7th year.

PV=$6,000/(1+0.07)^1 + $6,000/(1+0.07)^2 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^3 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^4 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^5 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^6 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^7 +$115,000/(1+0.07)^7

PV=$5,607.47 + $5,240.63 + $4,897.78 + $4,577.37 + $4,277.91 + $3,998.05 + $3,736.49 + $71,616.22

PV=$103,951.92

b) Let the single sum that will grow to $490,000 at 7% interest per annum at the end of 8 years be X

FV=PV(1+i)^n

$490,000 = X(1+0.07)^8

Thus,

X= $490,000/(1.07)^8

X = $490,000/1.7182

X = $285,182

Thhus, a single sum of $285,182 needs to be deposited for 8 years at 7% interest p.a.

The total amount of interest revenue is ($490,000-$285,182) = $204,818

c) PV = $75,000/(1.07)^1 + $112,500/(1.07)^2 + 150,000/(1.07)^3

PV = $70,093.45 + $98,261.85 + $122,444.68

= $290,800

FV =$75,000*(1.07)^1 + $112,500*(1.07)^2 + 150,000*(1.07)^3

= $80,250 + $85,867 + $91,878

= $257,995

d) The cost of the machine is $170,000. Immediate cash paid $34,000. Loan Amount is ($170,000-$34,000)=$136,000

The PVA factor at 7% p.a compounded annually for 5 years is 4.1002

Thus, the PMT = 136,000/4.1002

= $33,169

Thus, the amount of each annual payment is $33,169 for 5 years.

The total amount to be paid is ($34,000+$33,169*5)

=$34,000+$165845

=$199845

The interest expense is ($199845 - $170,000)

= $29,845
