Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by using the following​ weights: 40​% ​long-term debt, 20​% preferred​ stock, and 40% common stock equity​ (retained earnings, new common​ stock, or​ both). The​ firm's tax rate is 25​%.

Debt The firm can sell for $980 a 13​-year, $1,000​-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 7.00​% coupon rate. A flotation cost of 2​% of the par value is required in addition to the discount of $20 per bond.

Preferred stock 8.00​% ​(annual dividend) preferred stock having a par value of $100 can be sold for $85. An additional fee of $3 per share must be paid to the underwriters.

Common stock The​ firm's common stock is currently selling for $50 per share. The dividend expected to be paid at the end of the coming year​ (2016) is $3.16. Its dividend​ payments, which have been approximately 50​% of earnings per share in the past 5​ years, were as shown in the following​ table:

Year   Dividend
2015 2.95
2014 2.76
2013 2.58
2012   2.41
2011   2.25
It is expected that to attract​ buyers, new common stock must be underpriced $6 per​ share, and the firm must also pay $2.00 per share in flotation costs. Dividend payments are expected to continue at 50​% of earnings. ​ (Assume that r_r = r_s)

a.  The​ after-tax cost of debt using the​ bond's yield to maturity​ (YTM) is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
-The​ after-tax cost of debt using the approximation formula is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
b.  The cost of preferred stock is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
c.  The cost of retained earnings is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
-The cost of new common stock is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
d.  Using the cost of retained​ earnings, the​ firm's WACC is? ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)
Using the cost of new common​ stock, the​ firm's WACC is? (Round to two decimal places)

Write a java program that lets the user to enter any two integers and weave them digit by digit and print the result of weaving their digits together to form a single number. Two numbers x and y are weaved together as follows. The last pair of digits in the result should be the last digit of x followed by the last digit of y. The second-to-the-last pair of digits in the result should be the second-to- the-last digit of x followed by the second-to-the-last digit of y. And so on.

You should write weaveNumber method that works as following examples weaveNumber( 271 ,389).should return 237819. If one of the numbers has more digits than the other, you should imagine that leading zeros are used to make the numbers of equal length. For example, weaveNumber(2384, 12) should return 20308142 (as if it were a call on weaveNumber(2384, 0012)). Similarly, weaveNumber(9, 318) should return 30198 (as if it were a call on weaveNumber(009, 318)).

remember which curve is which. (4)
7.2. Draw a diagram of a typical IS-LM model and on the diagram indicate the changes in
all the variables should there be an increase in aggregate expenditure causing a shift
of the IS curve to the right (indicate the shift in the IS curve on your diagram). Label
the axes properly. (5)

​Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $51,000 per​ year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two​ options:

a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $160,000. This machine will require $23,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses.

b. Purchase a​ new, more advanced machine for $260,000. This machine will require $19,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $13,000 per year.​ Also, $38,000 will be spent up front to train the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 7% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each​ year, as is the cost of the rental machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the​ straight-line method over seven years and that they have a​ 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 40%.

Should​ Beryl's Iced Tea continue to​ rent, purchase its current​ machine, or purchase the advanced​ machine? To make this​ decision, calculate the NPV of the FCF associated with each alternative.
