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%

A company has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.2. It would like to use futures contracts on a stock index to hedge its r
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: 88.89 or 89

Explanation: Futures contract refers to a legal binding which obligates a buyer and seller to transact about a commodity, good, security or services at a predetermined price but goods are delivered or paid for in the future.

Given the following ;

Portfolio value(p) = $20million

Portfolio Beta (b) = 1.2

Index price (i) = 1080

Multiplier = 250

Future value(A) = index price × multiplier

Future value(A) = 1080 × 250 = 270000

Number of contracts (N) = (portfolio value × portfolio Beta) ÷ future value

N = ($20,000,000×1.2)÷270000

N = 24000000 ÷×270000

N = 88.8888=88.89

N = 89 (NEAREST whole number)

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Use future value formula

Future Value =  Present Value ((1+r)^n)

26,600 =  20,000 ((1+r)^3

26,600/20,000 = (1+r)^3

1.33 = (1+r)^3

1.33^1/3 = 1+r

1.0997 = 1+r

1.0997 - 1 = r

r = 0.997 = 9.97% = 10% (rounded of to the nearest whole percentage)
