Answer:

As the WACC is more than 7.5%, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

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

First we need to determine the cost of debt and equity for this firm.

We use the market value of debt and thus, rate for the calculation of WACC.

The cost of debt will be its yield to maturity as it is the current rate or cost. Thus, rD will be 6%.

The cost of equity can be determined using the constant growth model of DDM 's formula for prcie today.

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

80 = 5 * (1+0.05) / (r - 0.05)

80 * (r - 0.05) = 5.25

80r - 4 = 5.25

80r = 5.25 + 4

r = 9.25 / 80

r = 0.115625 or 11.5625%

WACC = 0.5 * 0.06 * (1-0.3)  +  0.5 * 0.115625

WACC = 0.0788125 or 7.88125%

As the WACC is more than 7.5%, option D is the correct answer.

Answer:

FV =  2,621,048.23

Explanation:

we will calcualte the future value of an annuity with an geometric progression:

\frac{(1+r)^{n} -(1+q)^{n}}{r - q} = FV

g 0.03

r 0.092

C 5,356 ( we will save next year (52,000 x 1.03) the 10% )

n 39 (we start saving next year)

\frac{(1+0.092)^{39} -(1+0.03)^{39}}{0.092 - 0.03} = FV

FV = 2,400,227.319

As we deposit at the first day of the year this will be an annuity-due so we will multiply by (1 +r)

FV =  2,621,048.23

Answer:

the government's sovereign immunity

Explanation:

In the US, the federal and state governments have sovereign immunity which means that they cannot be sued unless they agree to it. In the US, the federal government waived their immunity protection from a series of possible torts through the Federal Tort Claims Act. But that law does not include litter or accidents occurring in highways.

Sovereign immunity basically states that the federal government cannot be sued for its actions unless those actions are included in the Federal Tort Claims Act. To be able to sue a state government other rules apply, specially regarding the circumstances around the reason for the claim.
