Answer:

The WACC is 10.93%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital stricture may be formed of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC assigns the weights to each of these components based on the finance provided by each of the above components as a proportion of total capital structure or total assets.

The WACC is calculated by taking the market value of each component. The formula for WACC is as follows,

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

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common stock respectively.
  • We take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply rD with (1-tax rate)

Debt = 377000 * 106.5%  = $401505

Preferred stock = 6850 * 90.50  =  $619925

Common stock = 27500 * 70  = $1925000

Total assets = 401505 + 619925 + 1925000  = $2946430

WACC = 401505/2946430 * 7.81% * (1-0.35)  +  619925/2946430 * 6.9%  +

1925000/2946430 * 13.45%

WACC = 0.1093 or 10.93%

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

A falling interest rate will lead to a movement along the demand curve for loanable funds

Explanation:

A movement along the demand curve for a good or service is caused by a change in the price of the good or service.

Because the interest rate is the price of the loanable funds, a falling interest rate will cause a movement along the demand curve for loanable funds. More specifically, a falling interest rate, in other words, a lower price, will increase the demand for the loanable funds, so the movement will be upwards.

Due to a recent hurricane there is a major loss of sugarcane crops. At the same time in the U.S. consumers are eating healthier
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer and explanation:

We should consider that at the same time as the hurricane, U.S. consumers were cutting back on sugar foods. It implies that the quantity demanded for sugar foods was likely to decrease bringing the prices up. However, the hurricane affecting the sugarcane crops affects the supply which will be lower. Thus, definitely, if the quantity supplied is lower so will the price.
