Answer:

correct answer is 13.25 percent.

Explanation:

Debt = (750,000*101%)

        = $757,500  

cost = 8.3*(1-tax rate)

         = 8.3*(1-0.21)

         = 6.557%

Equity = (165000*33)

           = $5,445,000

cost = 14.7%

Preferred stock = (15000*43)

                           =$645000

cost = 8.9%

Total = $645000 + $5,445,000 + $757,500

         = $6847500

weighted average cost of capital = costs*Respective weights

= (757500/6847500*6.557) + (5,445,000/6847500*14.7) +(645000/6847500*8.9)

= 13.25%

Therefore, The weighted average cost of capital is 13.25%

Porter Plumbing's stock had a required return of 11.75% last year, when the risk-free rate was 5.50% and the market risk premium
Crank

Answer:

New required rate of return = 11.88%

Explanation:

<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.  </em>

<em>Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  </em>

<em>Ke- required rate of return, Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market. </em>

Using the model, we work out  Beta which is not given and then re-calculate the required rate of return of the new stock

<em>Ke- 11.75 % Rf- 5.5, Rm-Rf = 4.75%,  β= ?</em>

11.75% = 5.50% + β(4.75%)

11.75% -5.50% =  β(4.75%)

(11.75-5.50)/4.75= β

1.315789474 = β

1.315 = β

New required rate of return

5.50% + 1.315(1.02×4.75)

11.875

New required rate of return = 11.88%

Beck Kubiak wishes to purchase new appliances for her home. The total cost for the appliances is $2,900. To finance the purchase
Flura [38]

Answer:

total finance charge = $203.08

her monthly payment = $105.13

Explanation:

The Loan amount = Cost of Appliance - Down Payment

                              = $2,900 - ($2,900 × 20%)

                              = $2,320

Change the APR to nominal compounding,

Using a Financial Calculator, this will be :

8.50 % Shift EFF%

12 Shift P/YR

Shift NOM % = 8.19%

Then calculate the <em>monthly payment</em> as follows :

Pv = $2,320

n = 24

p/yr = 12

r = 8.19%

Fv = $0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, monthly payment, PMT is $105.13

Total Finance Charge will then be obtained from the amortization schedule from the First Period to the 24th Period and this will be : $203.08.
