Answer:

Plan A = 8.55%

Plan A =8.57%

Plan A =7.9%

Plan A =6.58%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital can be computed by multiplying the Cost of capital (after tax) with the weights. The weighted average cost for four plans are as follows

WACC = Cost of capital x Weights

PLAN A

                                Weights      Cost of capital      WACC

Debt                         3.0 %                    15 %                0.45%    

Preferred stock       6.0                        10%                0.6%

Common equity      10.0                      75%               7.5%

WACC                                                                          8.55%

PLAN B

                                Weights      Cost of capital      WACC

Debt                         3.2 %                  25%                0.8%    

Preferred stock       6.2                      10%                0.62%

Common equity      11.0                      65%               7.15%

WACC                                                                         8.57%

PLAN C

                                Weights      Cost of capital      WACC

Debt                          4.0 %                   35 %                1.4%    

Preferred stock        6.7                        10%                0.67%

Common equity       10.6                      55%               5.83%

WACC                                                                          7.90%

PLAN D

                                Weights      Cost of capital      WACC

Debt                         7.0 %                   45 %                3.15%

Does this​ "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for​ McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is​ horizontal? Briefly explain.
blagie [28]

Answer: I found the complete question on Google:

By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.

And the correct answer is: "B. ​No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".

Explanation:

Calculation to determine Determine the present value of the par value of the bonds.

Discount rate =8%/2

Discount rate= 4%

Present value factor of 20 periods at 4%= ( 1 / 1.04^20 )

Present value factor of 20 periods at 4%=0.4564

Using this formula

Present value of the par value of the bond = Future value of the bond x Present value factor =

Let plug in the formula

Present value of the par value of the bond=$50,000 x 0.4564

Present value of the par value of the bond = $22,820
