If the managers of HHH Enterprises were to commit to an investment project under consideration, they would obtain 40% of the money to buy the needed assets from lenders (wd) and 60% from owners (we). Lenders would be expected to charge an 8% annual interest rate (kd), and owners would expect a 12% annual rate of return on equity (ke). If the project were undertaken, the company’s marginal yearly income tax rate t would be 30%. What would we compute the annual weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the project to be? A. 8.24% B. 11.60% C. 7.28% D. 9.44% E. 10.40%

D. 9.44%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:

Weighted average cost of capital is

= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt + cost of equity × weight of equity

= 8% × (1 - 0.30) × 40% + 12% × 60%

= 2.24% + 7.2%

= 9.44%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.44%

Therefore the right option is D.

mcdonald's fast-food restaurants have a well-designed training program for all new employees. each new employee is supposed to learn how to perform standardized tasks required to maintain mcdonald's service quality. due to labor shortages in some areas, new employees begin work as soon as they are hired and do not receive any off-the-job training. this nonconformity to standards creates control loss.
