The dividends distributed equal $132. The average total assets are $440,000. To find the dividends paid by Guo Company, utilize the calculation: Payout ratio = (dividends paid/net earnings for the period) x 100. Therefore, the dividends paid can be determined by rearranging to: Dividends paid = (Payout Ratio/100) x net earnings for the period, giving dividends paid as (20%/100) x $66,000 resulting in $132. Furthermore, to compute the average total assets, apply the formula: Return On Assets = (Net Income/Average total Assets). Thus, Average total assets are calculated as (Net income/Return On Assets), leading to 66,000/15%, which equals $440,000.

Malkin corp. has no debt but can borrow at 8.75 percent. the firm’s wacc is currently 16 percent, and there is no corporate tax.
Scilla [3833]

Response:

a.

16%

b.

17.3%

c.

23.25%

d.

16%

Clarification:

WACC represents the average cost of capital for a firm, based on the proportions of debt and equity multiplied by their respective costs.

Having the capital cost, the next step is to compute the equity cost.

Cost of Capital = (Cost of Equity x Proportion of equity) + (Cost of Debt x Proportion of Debt)

a.

No Debt

16% = (Cost of Equity x 1 ) + (8.75% x 0)

16% = Cost of Equity + 0

Cost of Equity = 16%

b.

15% Debt and 85% for Equity (100%-15%)

16% = (Cost of Equity x 85% ) + (8.75% x 15%)

0.16 = (Cost of Equity x 0.85) + 0.013125

0.16 - 0.013125 = Cost of Equity x 0.85

0.146875 = Cost of Equity x 0.85

Cost of Equity = 0.146875 / 0.85 = 0.17279

Cost of Equity = 17.3%

c.

50% Debt and 50% for Equity (100%-50%)

16% = (Cost of Equity x 50% ) + (8.75% x 50%)

0.16 = (Cost of Equity x 0.50) + 0.04375

0.16 - 0.04375 = Cost of Equity x 0.50

0.11625 = Cost of Equity x 0.50

Cost of Equity = 0.11625 / 0.50 = 0.2325

Cost of Equity = 23.25%

d.

WACC in b and c remains at 16%
