Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market
  • (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x  =  0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Explanation:

For computing the value of unlevered firm, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

Value of levered firm = Earning before interest and taxes × (1 - tax rate) ÷ cost of equity

where,

Earnings before income and taxes are $218,000

Cost of equity is 16.3%

And, the tax rate is 35%

Now put these values on the above formula

So, the value would be equals to

= $218,000 × (1 - 0.35) ÷ 16.3%

= $141,700 ÷ 16.3%

= $869325.15

The other terms like bonds and the annual coupon should not be considered in the computation part because we have to calculate for unlevered firm which only includes equity and the bond is a debt security. Thus, it is irrelevant.

Hence,  the unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

$846,000

Explanation:

Paid in capital = Par value of shares + Share premium paid or Additional paid in capital

So,

Par value of total issued shares = (54000 + 36000) * 7 = $630,000

Premium can be calculated as

for 54000 shares = 9 - 7 = $2/share

or 36000 shares = 10 - 7 = $3/share

this gives us a total additional paid in capital of

= (54000 * 2) + (36000 * 3) = $216,000

Paid in capital = 216000 + 630000 = $846,000

Note that capital dividends are deducted from the premium account where as cash dividends are deducted from retained earnings leaving no impact on paid in capital. We are assuming cash dividends.
