The hedonic property value method determines the extent that environmental or ecosystem factors affect the price of a home. This implies that the method cannot be used to estimate lost, non-use value associated with oil pollution at remote, uninhabited locations, as stated in the question. Since the hedonic property value method is used to estimate the housing prices that reflect the value of local environmental attributes, it is not useful for uninhabited, remote locations and properties.
Answer:
The Weighted Average cost of capital measures the cost to the company of its current capital structure by using the weights of the various capital measures. WACC usually uses market values so;
Total amount = Debt + Preferred stock + common equity
= 100 million + 20 million + ( 50 * 6 million)
= $420 million
<u>Proportions.</u>
Debt
= 100/420
= 24%
Preferred Stock<u> </u>
= 20/420
= 5%
Common Equity
= 300/420
= 71%
Answer:
$35,860
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is shown below
Particulars Cost Retail
Opening Inventory(A) $63,800 $128,400
Purchases(B) $115,060 $196,800
Goods available
C=(A-B) $178,860 $325,200
Cost ratio
($178,860 ÷ $325,200 × 100) 55%
Sales at retail (D) $260,000
End, Inventory at Retail $65,200
($325,200 - $260,000)
End, Inventory at Cost $35,860
($65,200 × 55%)
Answer:
79.5%.
Explanation:
Rate of return = 
x 100
The cost of the acre = $12700.
Total property taxes paid for 7 years = $175 x 7
= $1225
Net value of cost = $12700 + $1225
= $13925
Net value of the land when sold = $25000
∴ Rate of return = 
x 100
= 0.7953 x 100
= 79.53%
The rate of return of the acre of land is 79.5%.
