Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Explanation:

Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  + (We×Ke)

           Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%

           Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%

           We = proportion of equity = 60%

            Ke= cost of equity.

let the cost of equity be "y"

WACC = 11.54

11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)

0.1154  = 0.0288 + 0.6y

0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y

y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6

y = 0.1443 × 100

y =14.43%

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Sam promised to sell Linda a Welsh Corgi puppy for $300 but backed out of the deal. Linda sued Sam in state court for breach of
Oxana [17]

The challenge of Sandy's inclusion in the juror is referred to as <em>A. </em><em>peremptory challenge</em><em>.</em>

  • A peremptory challenge does not require any reason to be proffered.  Therefore, Sandy's disqualification from the juror is based on peremptory challenge.  

  • The manner that Sandy looked at Linda does not necessarily give cause for Sandy to be biased in the case.  But Linda may think otherwise, and can use a peremptory challenge to discard Sandy.

  • Ann could reasonably be disqualified from the juror because she indicated her clear stance on Linda's case.  As there is a challenge for cause, a reason must be offered.  But the same cannot be said of Sandy's disqualification.

Thus, the juror challenge helps Linda to discard or excuse Sandy and Ann from the panel so that her case can be fairly adjudicated.
