Answer:

Travel websites such as Expedia (EXPE), Kayak, and Travelocity have eliminated the need for human travel agents.

Tax software such as TurboTax has eliminated tens of thousands of jobs for tax accountants.

Newspapers have seen their circulation numbers decline steadily, replaced by online media and blogs. Increasingly, computer software is actually writing news stories, especially local news and sporting event results.

Language translation is becoming more and more accurate, reducing the need for human translators. The same goes for dictation and proof-reading.

Secretaries, phone operators, and executive assistants are being replaced by enterprise software, automated telephone systems, and mobile apps.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$490

Explanation:

Let xR be the revenue function

xR = (4 + 0.2(x))(100 - 2x) = 400 + 12x - 2x²/5

Maximum revenue occurs when xR = 0:

xR = 12 - 4x/5 = 0

x = 15

Admission price = 4 + (0.2*15) = 4 + 3 = $7

Max revenue = $7 * (100 - (15*2) = 7 *70  = $490

Assume that your firm consists of Division 1 (40 percent of the firm) and Division 2 (60 percent of the firm). The capital struc
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Division 1's WACC - Division 2's WACC = 11.752% - 14.6656% = - 1.9136% or Division 1 has the lower cost of capital of 1.9136% in absolute term comparing to Division 2.

Explanation:

Before starting, we need to convert unlevered beta into levered beta:

Levered beta of Division 1: 1.2 x ( 1 + (1-40%) x 0.25) = 1.38

Leverage beta of Division 2: 1.46 x ( 1+ (1-40%) x 0.25) = 1.679

Then, we start step by step as below:

First, using the CAPM model: Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return +  beta *(Market Rate of Return – Risk-free Rate of Return) , we find the cost of equity for Division 1 and Division 2.

  - Division 1's cost of Equity = 4% + 1.38 x( 12% -4%) = 15.04%

  - Division 2's cost of equity = 4% + 1.46 x (12% - 4%) = 17.432%

Second, determine the post-tax cost of debt applied for both Division: 6% x (1-tax rate) = 6% x (1 -40%) = 3.60%

Third, calculate the WACC for each Division:

  - Division 1's WACC = % of debt in capital structure x cost of debt + % of equity in capital structure x cost of equity = 20% x 3.6% + 80% x 15.04% = 11.752%;

  - Division 2's WACC = % of debt in capital structure x cost of debt + % of equity in capital structure x cost of equity = 20% x 3.6% + 80% x 17.432% = 14.6656%;

Finally, compare the WACC between the two Division:

Division 1's WACC - Division 2's WACC = 11.752% - 14.6656% = - 1.9136% or Division 1 has the lower cost of capital of 1.9136% in absolute term comparing to Division 2.
