Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40. Required:
a. What is Rollins' cost of common stock using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach?
b. What is Rollins' WACC?

a. 16%

b.  13.566%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.

DATA

P is price = 27

G is growth = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

Requirement a.

When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate

Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%

Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price

There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95

Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%

Cost of equity = D1/P + g

Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16

Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08

Cost of equity = 16%

Requirement  b

Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%

Wacc = 13.566%

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

i would get some file cabnitsits to store all my documents and paper work, then i would make sure to always keep my desk clean and organzed by using sticky notes to mark a stack of papers. and etc. but mainly i would just stay clean and organized because it will make lfe alot eaisier trust me. hope this !
