Answer:

a)

Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%

b)

Tax Rate = 40%    

Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%  

So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%

Explanation:

Bond Par Value =  12,900,000  

Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000  

Years To maturity = 5.00  

Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100

Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]

Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3

Year to maturity = 7.33%

Clem Oatley could grow wheat and barley. He could grow 75 bushels of wheat or 125 bushels of barley using the same resources on
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Clem should specialise in wheat production because he has higher profits there

Explanation:

Clem needs to make a decision on the product that will maximise his profits and not just the number of units of products he can manufacture.

If he produces only wheat he will have profit of 75 bushels * $2 = $150

If he produces only barley his profit will be 125 bushels * $0.80 = $100

This shows that wheat is more profitable for Clem. Even though he can produce more units of barley.

If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:
AlekseyPX

The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below.

If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:

a. $400 increase in consumption spending

b. $75 increase in consumption spending

c. $425 increase in personal saving

d. $75 increase in personal saving

Answer:

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. It is a concept that is used to calculate how much of an increase in income will be used in consumption and saving. The formula to calculate MPC is,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / Change in income

0.85 = Change in consumer spending / 500

500 * 0.85 = Change in consumer spending

Change in consumer spending = $425

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving.

PC​ Bell, a computer manufacturer that sells computer systems directly to​ customers, buys a computer chip for ​$150​, software
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The price is $1,540      

Explanation:

The reason is that the profit share is $1,100 and the cost includes computer chip, software and printer which are worth $150, $250 and $40.

The price can be calculated using the following formula:

Price - Cost = Profit

Here profit is $1100 and cost is $440 (150+250+40)

By putting the values we have:

Price - $440 = $1100

Price = $1100 + $440 = $1540

A company borrows $50,000 by signing a $50,000, 8% note that requires six equal payments of (round to the nearest dollar) at the
elixir [45]

Answer:

An information is missing on this question but I found the complete details as shown below;

"A company borrows $50,000 by signing a $50,000, 8% note that requires six equal payments of

<em>10816</em> (round to the nearest dollar) at the end of each year. (The present value of an annuity of six

annual payments, discounted at 8% equals 4.6229.) "

Explanation:

An annuity payment is made in equal amounts for a specified period of time in this case 6 years.

Since the equal payments are made annually and you are given the Present value of the annuity as $50,000 & discount factor of 4.6229, divide the PV by the discount factor. The value of equal payments should be equivalent to the $<em>10816 ;</em>

<em>=50,000 / </em>4.6229

= 10815.7217

Next, round the answer to the nearest dollar;

When rounded to the nearest whole number it becomes $10,816.
