Answer:

9.73%

Explanation:

the market value of equity = 10,000,000 stocks x $15 = $150,000,000

the market value of debt = 40,000 bonds x $1,150 = $46,000,000

total = $196,000,000

weight of equity = 0.7653

weight of debt = 0.2347

Re = 3.5% + [1.35 x (0.115 - 0.055)] = 0.035 + 0.081 = 0.116

cost of debt = ytm = {36.25 + [(1,000 - 1,150)/40]} /  [(1,000 + 1,150)/2] = (36.25 - 3.75) / 1,075 = 32.50 / 1,075 = 0.03023 x 2 = 0.0605

after tax cost of debt = 0.0605 x (1 - 40%) = 0.0363

WACC = (0.116 x 0.7653) + (0.0363 x 0.2347) = 0.09729 = 9.73%

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: $1000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a customer's restricted margin account shows the following: LMV $30,000 DB $16,000 SMA $0 If the customer sells $2,000 of securities.

Based on the above analysis, the customer can only withdraw $1000. This is because since $2000 worth of securities are sold, half of it which is $1000 will be credited to SMA which is the withdrawable amount.

Orlando’s business wants to enact an affirrimative action plan which of the following would not be a part of the process
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

C). Firing majority workers who perform the least well.

Explanation:

An Affirmative action plan is characterized as the management tool that details of present and future course of action/procedure in order to ensure the rights of every individual on the basis of their caliber, ability, and merit irrespective of their race, gender, class, religion, disability, etc. It primarily aims to offer a fair entry to employment opportunities for all and develop a work community that reflects the demographics of a proficient and qualified workforce. Thus, 'firing majority workers who perform least well' would not be a part of this process as it offers fair access to opportunities on the basis of ability. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Jones, a farmer, found an odd-looking stone in his fields. he went to smith, the town jeweler, and asked him what he thought it
Tresset [83]

Even though there was a miscommunication in the sale, Jones did not know that the stone was a diamond before selling it and Smith can easily say he did not know it was either. If Jones had taken the stone and received other opinions on it, he may have gotten more money but because he sold the stone, there is nothing he can take action on Smith for.
