Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": The EBITDA coverage ratio increases.
Explanation:
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) ratio is an accounting indicator that measures the profitability of a company. It is calculated by subtracting the costs of goods sold and administrative expenses from the firm's income. The EBITDA is typically used to value the capacity for generating benefits of an entity considering only its productive activity because it indicates the returns obtained from the direct exploitation of the business.
Therefore, <em>if the EBITDA of a firm increases it is because its financial position has possibly increased.</em>
Answer: temporary team formed to solve a problem, realize an opportunity, or design a product or service.
Explanation:
A task force is formed for the purpose of finding out how to fix a certain problem or realize a product or service.
Once this problem has been fixed or this good realized, the task force is disbanded because it is a temporary group that has fulfilled its objectives and so no longer has to be in effect. For instance, countries have Cov-id-19 taskforces who help coordinate responses to Corona and they will be disbanded when Corona is gone.

Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Answer:<em>9.5354% or 9.6%</em>
Explanation:
<em>PMT = coupon (interest) payment = 12.2 % * $1,000 = $120</em>
<em>Let t = time left until bond is called = 10 years
</em>
<em>Let F be the face value = $ 1,100 ($ 1,000 + $ 100 (Call premium))</em>
<em>Let the Current bond price = 110 % x 1,000 = $1,100</em>
<em>Now,</em>
<em>The bond price is = PMT x 1-( 1 + r )⁻t / r + F/(1 + r )t</em>
<em>Therefore,</em>
<em>1100 = 100 x 1 - (1 + r)⁻¹⁰/r + 1100/(1 + r)¹⁰</em>
<em>Using the trial and error method,</em>
<em>r= 9.5354%</em>
<em>Then the yield to call (YTC) = 9.5354</em>
9.5354%
