Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $270,000. The firm will raise the $270,000 in capital by issuing $100,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $30,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $140,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project

Answer:

WACC = 11.45 %

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke) + (Wp × Kp)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 11.1%(1-0.4) =6.66%

Ke-Cost of equity = 14.7%

Kp= Cost of preferred stock = 12.2%

Wd-Weight of debt =100/270=0.370

We-Weight of equity = 140/270=0.518

Wp= weight of preferred stock = 30/270=0.111

WACC = (0.518× 14.7%) + (0.370 × 6.7%) + (0.111×12.2) =  11.447%

WACC = 11.45 %

The Mighty Music Company produces and sells a desktop speaker for $100. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 speakers each period.

If this order is accepted, the company will have to spend $15,000 on additional costs. Assuming that no sales to regular customers will be lost if the order is accepted, at what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order

The amount charged to depreciation expense on its books this year was $2,400,000. No other differences existed between book income and taxable income except for the amount of depreciation.

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stock that, under specified terms and conditions, can be exchanged for common stock at the option of the holder. Conversion of these securities does not provide new capital; debt (or preferred stock) is simply replaced on the balance sheet by common stock. However, reducing the debt or preferred stock will improve the firm’s financial position and make it easier to raise additional capital, but raising additional capital requires a separate action.

The conversion ratio ( ) is the number of shares of common stock that are obtained by converting a convertible bond or share of convertible preferred stock. The conversion price ( ) is the effective price paid for common stock obtained by converting a convertible security. From the standpoint of the issuer, which of the following statements is a disadvantage of convertibles?

a. Because convertibles have low coupon rates, they require the firm to sell common stock at discount prices relative to prices that are currently prevailing.
b. Convertibles typically have a low coupon interest rate, and the advantage of this low-cost debt will be lost when conversion occurs.
c. If the company truly wants to raise equity capital and if the stock price does not rise sufficiently after the bond is issued, then the company will be stuck with debt rather than the desired equity. ___________ is/are correct.

Which describes the role of automatic stabilizers in the economy? Automatic stabilizers are changes in the money supply that occur automatically when inflation or unemployment occurs. Automatic stabilizers refer to industries that are not subject to the fluctuations of the economy, and therefore moderate the effects of recessions. Food, housing, and the military are examples of these industries, which are usually more stable than the rest of the economy. Automatic stabilizers have a similar impact as discretionary fiscal policy but occur automatically, without action by the government. Automatic stabilizers increase aggregate demand during recessions and reduce aggregate demand during expansions. Automatic stabilizers are discretionary changes to taxes, government spending, and transfers that Congress makes in an attempt to improve the economy.

Organizations face myriad barriers and obstacles to effectively increasing and embracing diversity in their workplaces. Some of these barriers stem from people in the organization who are resistant to changing the organization to make it more diverse. This activity is important because resistance to this type of change is an attitude that managers will come up against frequently, and managers should be able to recognize when this occurs so that they can manage the organization and its employees through this challenging but very important type of change.
The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the barriers to diversity.
Stereotypes and Prejudices
Fear of Discrimination Against Majority Group Members
Resistance to Diversity Program Priorities
A Negative Diversity Climate
Lack of Support for Family Demands
A Hostile Work Environment for Diverse Employees
First, hover over the terms to read examples of barriers to diversity in action. Then, click and drag each term to indicate the specific barrier to diversity its example best depicts.

The sensitivity of a system for disciplining and possibly terminating employees is important, and it is critical that the system be seen as fair. Employees form conclusions about the system's fairness based on the system's outcomes and procedures and the way managers treat employees when carrying out those procedures. Three principles of justice are outcome fairness, procedural justice, and interactional justice.
Outcome fairness involves the ends of a discipline process or action, while procedural and interactional justice focus on the means to those ends. Not only is behavior ethical that is in accord with these principles, but research has also linked the last two categories of justice with employee satisfaction and productivity

To be effective issuing and investing in bonds, knowledge of their terminology, characteristics, and features is essential. For example: • A bond’s is generally $1,000 and represents the amount borrowed from the bond’s first purchaser. • A bond issuer is said to be in if it does not pay the interest or the principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture agreement or if it violates one or more of the issue’s restrictive covenants. • A bond contract feature that requires the issuer to retire a specified portion of the bond issue each year is called a . • A bond’s gives the issuer the right to call, or redeem, a bond at specific times and under specific conditions.
