a) Yes, $67 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.
Using the MR
They will produce 9 units.
Profits per unit = $67 - $50 = $17
Total profit =
$153.
(b) Yes, $42 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.
Using the MR
They will produce 6 units
Loss per unit is = $42 - $47.50 = $5.50
Total loss = $33 (= 6 x $5.50), which is less than the total fixed cost of $60.
c) No, because $33 is less than AVC. If it did produce, the quantity will be 4—By producing 4 units, it would lose $78 [= 4 ($33 - $52.50)]. and if they didn't produce, it would lose only the total fixed cost of $60.
Answer:
It would decrease
Explanation:
Return on equity is an example of a profitability ratio.
Profitability ratios measure the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:
ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)
If profit margin reduces and asset turnover and leverage remains the same, ROE would decrease
Answer:
a.
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
Explanation:
a.
The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.
The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common stock respectively
WACC = 0.15 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.21) + 0.1 * 0.05 + 0.75 * 0.09
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the cost of debt by (1 - tax rate) to adjust for the tax advantage provided by debt as interest payments on debt are tax deductible.
After tax cost of debt = 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
