If all the assumption of MM hypothesis aresatisfied, what is the value of company U and company – L. Doesthese values indicate the equilibrium, otherwise explain theprocess through which such equilibrium is achievedA.

The current ratio of H Ltd is 5:1 and standard current ratio given by accounting bodies is 2:1? Do you think that H Ltd should try to reduce its current ratio?You have the following information on a company on which to base your calculations and discussion: Cost of equity capital (rE) = 18.55% Cost of debt (rD) = 7.85% Expected market premium (rM –rF) = 8.35% Risk-free rate (rF) = 5.95% Inflation = 0% Corporate tax rate (TC) = 35% Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 2:5 a. What are the equity beta (bE) and debt beta (bD) of the firm described above?[Hint: Assume that the above costs of capital have been generated by an appropriate equilibrium model.] b.

Thank you. 1. Company X is interested in calculating its weighted-average cost of capital. Company X has a current financial structure that is composed of 50% debt, 40% ordinary shares, and 10% preference shares. Ignore the effects of cost of retained earnings. The beta of Company X shares is 0.7, and the current risk-free rate of return is 4%. The market risk premium is 6%. The dividend on Company X preference shares is set at P2.25, and the net issuance price per share (which happens to be the same as the current price per share) of preference shares is P30. Debt issued by Company C yields an 11% stated interest rate to investors. The marginal tax rate for Company X is 40%. What is the weighted-average cost of capital for Company X?
