Answer:
Explanation:
Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;
N = 5*2 = 10
PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000
Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000
FV = 10,000,000
then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%
convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)
After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;
Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)
AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)
AT cost of debt = 4.33%
Answer:

The law of diminishing marginal utility helps to explain the negative slope of the demand curve and the law of demand.If the satisfaction obtained from a good declines, then buyers are willing to pay a lower price, hence demand price is inversely related to quantity demanded, which is the law of demand.
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Cost of kiosk last year = $750
Cost of kiosk this year = $825
Percentage increase = $825-$750 / $750 * 100
Percentage increase = $75 / $750 * 100
Percentage increase = 10%
So the percentage increase in the cost of rent is 10%.
