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%
Answer:
This scenario best illustrates an acquisition.
Explanation:
Acquisition refers to the situation where a company gains control of the other company by purchasing all or most of its shares. Acquisitions are common in small and medium-sized firms and may happen with or without the consent of the target company.

I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.
