5.14%

13%

0.19 or 19%

0.81 0r 81%

11.51%

Explanation:

In order to determine the after-tax cost of debt we need to determine first of all the pretax cost of debt which is the yield to maturity on the bond computed using rate formula in excel.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest payable over twenty years which is 20 years *2=40

pmt is the semiannual interest payment=$1000*7.25%*6/12=$36.25

pv is the current price of $875

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(40,36.25,-875,1000)=4.28%

annual yield =4.28%*2=8.56%

after tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-40%)=5.14%

cost of equity=risk free rate(20-year treasury rate)+Beta*(Return on stock market-risk free rate)

cost of equity=5.50%+1.25*(11.5%-5.5%)=13%

Market value of equity=$15.25*10,000,000=$152,500,000.00

Market value of bonds=$875*40,000=$35,000,000.00

Equity plus debt =$ 187,500,000

weighting of debt=$35,000,000/$187,500,000= 0.19

weighting o equity= $152,500,000.00/$187,500,000.00 = 0.81

WACC=Ke*We+Kd(after tax)*Wd=13%*0.81+5.14%*0.19=11.51%

My first question is what benefits do you expect to achieve from career exploration? the benefits that i expect to achieve from career exploration. for me i think the benefits of exploring many different careers are that you get exposed to more, so it's easier for you to pick which one you like best. another benefit is that you get a more first hand view of what jobs are more likely to be needed in the future and that can be factored into your consideration. my second question is what do you expect to be the most challenging parts of your career planning process? why? the most challenging parts of my career planning process is trying to get things in order and trying to write this paragraph it is confusing and, hard work. and last but not least my third question is i think the most challenging part is taking the first step and really deciding on a career you want to pursue; there are so many options and it can be hard to choose.which jobs will allow me to make a living? ; what skills does emergency medical technician emergency medical services medical » physiology require?
