Rentz Corporation is investigating the optimal level of current assets for the coming year. Management expects sales to increase to approximately $4 million as a result of an asset expansion presently being undertaken. Fixed assets total $2 million, and the firm plans to maintain a 60% debt-to-assets ratio. Rentz's interest rate is currently 9% on both short-term and long-term debt (which the firm uses in its permanent structure). Three alternatives regarding the projected current assets level are under consideration: (1) a restricted policy where current assets would be only 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy where current assets would be 50% of sales, and (3) a relaxed policy where current assets would be 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes should be 11% of total sales, and the federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.

1. What is the expected return on equity under each current assets level? Round your answers to two decimal places.
   

   Restricted policy		%
   Moderate policy		%
   Relaxed policy		%

2. In this problem, we assume that expected sales are independent of the current assets investment policy. Is this a valid assumption?
   1. Yes, this assumption would probably be valid in a real world situation. A firm's current asset policies have no significant effect on sales.
   2. Yes, sales are controlled only by the degree of marketing effort the firm uses, irrespective of the current asset policies it employs.
   3. Yes, the current asset policies followed by the firm mainly influence the level of long-term debt used by the firm.
   4. Yes, the current asset policies followed by the firm mainly influence the level of fixed assets.
   5. No, this assumption would probably not be valid in a real world situation. A firm's current asset policies may have a significant effect on sales.

10.1The following table gives Foust Company's earnings per share for the last 10 years. The common stock, 8.2 million shares outstanding, is now (1/1/20) selling for $77.00 per share. The expected dividend at the end of the current year (12/31/20) is 60% of the 2019 EPS. Because investors expect past trends to continue, g may be based on the historical earnings growth rate. (Note that 9 years of growth are reflected in the 10 years of data.)

The current interest rate on new debt is 11%; Foust's marginal tax rate is 25%; and its target capital structure is 50% debt and 50% equity.

1. Calculate Foust's after-tax cost of debt. Round your answer to two decimal places.

   %

   Calculate Foust's cost of common equity. Calculate the cost of equity as r_s = D₁/P₀ + g. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

1. In C++, Mrs. Jones wishes to computerize her grading system. She gives 5 tests but only counts the 4 highest scores. Input the 5 test scores and output the average of the highest four. And using the following grading scale, 90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, and below 60 F, output the student’s letter grade. After creating this code, Modify the above to calculate the grade for all students in the class. The first input value will be the number of students in the class. You will then need to use a loop to input the students’ names as well as their 5 grades. Inside the loop (after calculating the average for the student) you will need to add each student’s average to a sum variable because at the end, you will need to print out the class average as well as each students’ names and letter grades.
