Answer:

11.36%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Debt = 45%

Common equity = 55%

YTM = 12%

Tax rate = 25%

WACC = 10.30%

So, we can calculate the cost of equity by using following formula,

WACC = Debt × YTM (1 - Tax rate) + Common Equity × Cost of Equity

By putting the value, we get

10.30% = 45% × 12% × (1 - 25%) + 55% × Cost of Equity

0.103 = 0.45 × 0.12 ( 0.75) + 0.55 × Cost of Equity

0.103 = 0.0405 + 0.55 × cost of equity

0.103 - 0.0405 = 0.55 × cost of equity

Cost of equity = 0.0625 ÷ 0.55

So, Cost of equity = 0.1136 or 11.36%

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The below statement marks the company's vision.

In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.

Explanation:

Companies tend to summarize their goals and objectives in mission and vision statements. Both of these serve different purposes for a company but are often confused with each other.

<u>Vision of a company/organisation</u>

  • Vision statement outlines what a company wants to be in the future.
  • The Vision Statement focuses on the future
  • It is a statement that is a source of inspiration and motivation.  
  • It describes not just the future of the organization but the future of the industry or society in which the organization hopes to effect change.

Relevance to the given scenario is that in the identified statement, Micheal has clearly demonstrated, what he sees for the foundation and how it wants to impact the foundation's stakeholders.

The vision of the foundation is as follows:

<em>In a period of 10 years, he states that the foundation envisions a broad and impartial society that respects and encourages children and actively enables people’s participation.</em>

<em></em>

Vision is different from the mission:

<u>Mission statement:</u>

The Mission Statement concentrates on the present; it defines the customer(s), critical processes and it informs you about the desired level of performance.

The mission of the foundation is as follows:

<em>The purpose of the foundation is to maximize the effect of public participation and welcome the recognition for volunteering.</em>
