Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the wacc is as followS;
= cost of common stock × weight of common stock + cost of debt × weight of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.16 × 0.70 + 0.08 × 0.30 × (1 - 0.30)
= 0.112 + 0.0168
= 0.1288
= 12.88%
b. The after tax cost of debt is
= 0.08 × (1- 0.30)
= 0.056
So the capital should use the cost of debt
Answer:
Nominal rate of return= 0.0517 = 5.17%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Real rate of return= 2.97%
Inflation rate= 2.20%
<u>To calculate the nominal rate of return, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Real rate of return= nominal rate of return - inflation rate
Nominal rate of return= Real rate of return + inflation rate
Nominal rate of return= 0.0297 + 0.022
Nominal rate of return= 0.0517 = 5.17%

Answer:
b) fall to 8 percent.
Explanation:
First, irrespective of the duration of the bond, if the price is equal to the bond's face value, it means that the coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity (YTM).
Initial YTM = 10%
Since this is a perpetually coupon paying bond, you use PV of perpetuity to find the rate;
PV = Coupon PMT / rate
Given PV as $1,250, new annual rate would be;
1,250 = 100/rate
solve for rate by cross multiplying;
1,250rate = 100
divide both sides by 1,250
rate = 100/1,250
rate = 0.08 or 8%
Therefore, the
interest rate would fall to 8 percent.
