gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: The answers are explained below.

Explanation:

• Cost of debt: The cost of debt is the interest rate that a company is charged on its debts. It is the interest paid on bonds, loans etc. The cost of debt is usually the before-tax cost of a debt.

• Cost of equity: The cost of equity is the return a firm pays to its equity investors e.g shareholders in order to reward them for the risk taken by investing their capital. Companies need capital to operate and grow hence, individuals and organizations who provide funds to such companies are rewarded.

• After tax WACC: The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a firm's combined cost of capital including preferred shares, common shares, and debt after the deduction of tax.

• Equity Beta: It measures the sensitivity of the stock price to changes in market. Equity Beta is also called levered beta.

• Asset beta: It is the beta of a firm without the effect of debt. It is a company's volatility of returns without its indebtedness.

• Pure play comparable: The pure play comparable is the taking of the beta estimate of another company that is comparable and in same line of business.

• Certainty equivalent: It is the guaranteed return that an individual would take now, rather than awaiting a higher but uncertain return later in the future.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the government changes taxes without changing government spending to eliminate the recessionary gap, will the minimum required change in taxes be greater than, smaller than, or equal to the minimum required change in government spending?

The minimum required change in taxes will be greater than that of the minimum required change in government spending

tax multiplier (mpc/mps = 0/8/0.2=0.4) is smaller than the government spending multiplier (1/mps= 1/.2=5) because of the initial increase in disposable income caused by the decrease in income tax will be saved rather than spent

Stuart Corporation produces products that it sells for $17 each. Variable costs per unit are $9, and annual fixed costs are $163

Mila [183]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The formula for break even point in unit and dollar is as sewn below;

Break even point in units = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin per unit

Where

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

Contribution margin per unit = $17 - $9 = $8

But

Fixed expenses = $163,200

Break even point in unit = $163,200 / $8 = 20,400 units

Break even point in dollars = Fixed expense / Profit volume ratio

Where

Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit / Selling price per unit) × 100

Profit volume ratio = ($8/$17) × 100 = 47.06%

But

Fixed expense = $163,200

Break even point in dollars = $163,200 / 47.06% = $3,468

For desired profit

Sales volume in units = Fixed expense + Desired profit / Contribution margin per unit

= $163,200 + $25,200 / $8

= $188,400/$8

= 23,550 units

Sales volume in dollars = Fixed expenses + Desired profit / Profit volume ratio

= $163,200 + $25,200 / 47.06%

= $4,003

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The multiple choices are:

a.300,000

b.$400,000

c.$800,000

d.$1,300,000

The correct option is C,$800,000

Explanation:

Opening accounts receivable=closing receivables+cash received-credit sales

closing receivables is $500,000

cash received during the month was $1,800,000

credit sales during the month was $1,500,000

Opening accounts receivable =$500,000+$1,800,000-$1,500,000

opening accounts receivable balance =$800,000

This is more like working backwards,as closing closing receivables formula is ;

closing receivables=opening receivable+credit sales-cash received

simply change the subject to opening receivables

opening receivables=cash received+closing receivables-credit sales
