kaheart [24]

Answer:

Task a:

The answer is $24,500.

Task b:

The answer is 17%

Explanation:

<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

We already know the following:

Projected net income = $21,000

Payout ratio = 30%

Retention ratio = 70%

Debt share = 40%

Equity share = 60%

Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income × $\frac{Retention ratio}{Equity share}$

= $21,000 × $\frac{0.70}{0.60}$

= $24,500

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.

<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth

Formula:

k(e) = $\frac{Do(1+g)}{P(1-0.20)}$ + 0.05

Where

Do = $2.00

G = 0.05

P = $21/88

= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05

= 0.17 or 17%

<h3>Answer: </h3>

The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%

Dan purchases a 1000 par value 10-year bond with 9% semiannual couponsfor 925. He is able to reinvest his coupon payments at a n

damaskus [11]

Answer:

9.2%

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"Calculate his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period"</em>

Semi annual coupon payments = 9% / 2 = 4.5%

Par value = 4.5% * 1,000 = $45

interest rate per period = r = 7% / 2 = 3.5%

Number of periods, n = 2 x 10 = 20

FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / r * [(1 + r)^n - 1]

FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / 3.5% * [(1 + 3.5%)^20 - 1]

FV of all the coupons reinvested = $1,272.59

Receipt of par value at the end of the 10 years = par value = 1,000

Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years = $1,272.59 + 1,000

Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years = $2,272.59

Invested amount = $925

i = nominal interest convertible semi annually.

$925 * (1 + i / 2)^n = 2,272.59

925 * (1 + i / 2)^20 = 2,272.59

i = 2 * [(2,272.59 / 925)^1/20 - 1]

I = 9.19%

I = 9.2%

So, his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period is 9.2%

A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The depletion expense or charge for the period can be calculated using the following formula,

Depletion expense = [(Cost - Salvage Value) / Total units expected to be mined] * Units mined during the period

Depletion expense = [(1500000 - 250000) / 2000000] * 150000

Depletion expense = $93750

The entry to record the expense is,

Depletion expense 93750 Dr

Accumulated depletion 93750 Cr

So, option c is the correct answer.
