Answer:

The after tax cost of debt is

D) 7.0%

Explanation:

In order to find the firms after tax cost of debt we have to find it's pre tax cost of debt, which is also the yield to maturity or interest rate of the bond. In order to find it we need 4 other variables, the par value or future value of the bond, the present value of the bond, the coupon payments and the number of maturity periods.  

The present value is 908.72, the future value is 1,000, the coupon payment is (0.09*1000*0.5)= 45. We multiply the 9% coupon rate with the future value of the bond and divide it by 2 as 9 is the coupon rate and because there are semi annual payments we will divide it by 2. The number of periods are (25*2) as there are 25 years to maturity and 2 payment periods each year so number of periods are 50.

We need to put all these values in a financial calculator

Pv= 908.72

FV=-1000

PMT= -45

N= 50

Compute I=5.00

This is the semi annual interest rate so we will multiply it by 2 to find the yearly interest rate so 5*2= 10.

10% is the pre tax cost of debt and now we will multiply it by (1-tax rate) to find the after tax cost of debt

0.1*0.7= 0.07= 7%

Ivan

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Based on the information given, it can be infered that the goods are nonconforming due to the perfect tender rule.

According to the perfect tender rule, a buyer can reject goods that are deliveres to him or her tender of the goods from the seller isn't perfect. Since the Gensol that he orders are 200 milligrams each while the one delivered are 100 milligrams each, then they aren't perfect.

Therefore, the clinic can reject the shipment, or keep some and reject others if it wants to.

A good financial plan does not include an insurance plan.

A good financial plan does not include an insurance plan. 
This statement it false. Insurance plans provide a person long-term benefits that are paid at present but can be used later in the future, especially for emergency purposes (e.g. health insurance).

If Randy would like to save his money for a vacation next year he must use an online banking account. This way he can easily track his transactions day-in and day-out to save up for his trip.

In the month of March, Ivanhoe Salon services 550 clients at an average price of $150. During the month, fixed costs were $26,88
Fed [463]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Total sales is

= 550 clients × $150

= $82,500

Variable costs is

= 60% of sales

= 60% × $82,500

= $49,500

Now

Contribution margin is

= total sales - variable costs

= $82,500 - $49,500

= $33,000

and, Contribution margin per unit is

= contribution margin ÷ total units

= $33,000 ÷ 550

= $60

And,

Contribution margin ratio is

= contribution margin ÷ total sales

= $33,000  ÷ $82,500

= 40%
