7.55%

9.17%

C)
9.00%

D)
8.00%

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

WACC = 7.55 %

so correct option is A) 7.55%

Explanation:

given data

company raised = $100,000,000

sale of bonds = $50,000,000

current yield = 8%

sale of common stock = $25,000,000

cost equal = 9%

sale of preferred stock =$25,000,000

cost equal = 10%

tax rate = 30%

to find out

WACC

solution

we get here WACC that is express as

WACC = ( Weight of debt × After tax cost of debt) + (Weight of equity × Cost of equity) + (Weight of preferred stock × cost of preferred stock)   ..................1

and cost of debt after tax will be

cost of debt after tax = 8% of ( 1 - 30%)

cost of debt after tax = 5.6%

and Weight of debt = (50000000)/(100000000) = 0.50

and Weight of equity =  (25000000)/(100000000) = 0.25

and Weight of preferred stock = (25000000)/(100000000) = 0.25

so WACC = ( 0.50 × 0.056 ) +  ( 0.25 × 0.09 ) +  ( 0.25 × 0.10 )

WACC = 0.0755

WACC = 7.55 %

so correct option is A) 7.55%

If the marginal cost of producing the fifth unit of output is higher than the marginal cost of producing the fourth unit of output, then at five units of output, average total cost must be rising.a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

Marginal Cost as well known is the cost of producing an extra unit of a good. Average Cost on the other hand is the cost of producing all the goods divided by the number of units that are produced.

It therefore stands to reason that if goods are getting more expensive to produce, the Average Cost will rise.

For example, take 2 scenarios.

Scenario 1.

Cost of producing units 1 to 5 is $2 each.

Average Cost = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2) / 5

= 10/5

Average Cost = $2

Scenario 2

Cost of Producing Units 1 to 5 are;

Unit 1 - $2

Unit 2 - $2

Unit 3 - $2

Unit 4 - $2

Unit 5 - $4

Average cost at unit 5 = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4)/5

= 12/5

= $2.40

Average Cost has increased by $0.40

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the New Year. Fireworks cost $300. In each town, some people enjoy fireworks more than others.In the town of Bayport, each of the residents values the public good as follows:

Resident Value
(Dollars)
Darnell 70
Eleanor 90
Jacques 150
The total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of Bayport is ($ ).

Therefore, fireworks (would/would not) pass the cost-benefit analysis in the town of Bayport.

The mayor of Bayport proposes to decide by majority rule and, if the fireworks referendum passes, to split the cost equally among all residents.

Who would vote in favor of the fireworks referendum? Check all that apply.

Darnell

Eleanor

Jacques

Answers

Answer:

Thus, option b and c are correct.

Explanation:

Suppose that there are two towns. Each town has three members to put on a fireworks display. The cost of fireworks is $300.

Find the total benefits of the fireworks display to the town of B.

Total benefit = value to Darnell + value to eleanor + value to Jacques

= 70+90+150 =$310

Thus, total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of B is $310.

Since the total benefits to the persons is greater than the total costs, therefore, fireworks would pass the cost- benefits analysis in the town of B.

The mayor of B said to spilt the cost among all the residents. Each of the residents will bear s $100 ($300/3).

Darnell and Eleanor will not vote for this because cost to them is more than the value to them. Remaining Jacques

will vote for this because cost to him is less than the value to him for this.

Thus, Jacques will vote in favor of this.

Thus, option c is correct.

Therefore, vote would not yield the same answer as the cost-benefit analysis.

Find the total benefits of the fireworks display to the town of RH.

Total benefit = value to kyoko + value to Musashi + value to Rina

= 50 +110+ 120 = $280

Thus, total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of RH is $280.

Since the total benefits to the persons is less than the total costs, therefore, fireworks would not pass the cost- benefits analysis in the town of RH.

The mayor of RH said to spilt the cost among all the residents. Each of the residents will bear $100 &$300/3).

Kyoko will not vote for this because cost to them is more than the value to them. Remaining Musashi and Rina will vote for this because cost to him is less than the value to him for this.Thus, Musashi and Rina will vote in favor of this.

Thus, option b and c are correct.

Therefore, vote would not yield the same answer as the cost-benefit analysis.

Firm E must choose between two alternative transactions. Transaction 1 requires a $11,100 cash outlay that would be nondeductible in the computation of taxable income. Transaction 2 requires a $15,800 cash outlay that would be a deductible expense. Determine the after-tax cost for each transaction. Assume Firm E’s marginal tax rate is 10 percent. Determine the after-tax cost for each transaction. Assume Firm E’s marginal tax rate is 30 percent.

Answers

Answer:

If the tax rate is 10% the better option is transaction 1  ($11,100 to 14,220)

IF the tax rate is 30% the better option is transaction 2 ($10,885 to 11,100)

Explanation:

We will compare the after tax cost for transaction two and check if it is better than 11,100 which will be the net cost for transaciton one

We must understad that the tax income deductible transacton provides a tax shield on the tax income, therefore his net effect is lower after considering taxes.

the rate will be think it as a discount to the pruchase price

at 10% income rate:

15,800 x ( 1 - 10% )  =   14,220

at 30% income rate

15,500 x ( 1 -  30% )  =  10,885
