Answer:
Since the expected return and required return are different for both Stock X and Z, we say that they are not correctly priced
Explanation:
<em>To determine whether or not the stocks are correctly priced ,</em>
<em>we have to compare the r</em><em>equired return</em><em> and the </em><em>expected return on each of them.</em>
Required return = Rf +β (Rm-Rf)
Note that Rm-Rf is also known as market risk premium
<em>Stock Y Stock Z</em>
<em>Required return </em> 2.4% + 1.2(7.2%) 2.4% + 0.8(7.2%)
= 11% = 8.2%
<em>Expected return</em> <em>12.1% 7.85%</em>
Since the expected return and required return are different for both Stock X and Z, we say that they are not correctly priced

Answer:
the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.
Explanation:
The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :
PV = - $2,201
n = 21 × 2 = 42
PMT = ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80
P/YR = 2
FV = $2,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)
After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)
= 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
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%
