Answer:

The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) should look for the contract terms that specify which party bears the costs associated with contract delivery delays.

In order to protect the government's best interest concerning the cost for the housing of the 200 soldiers for three weeks, the question to ask is if the contract provides that the contractor will bear the costs for housing the soldiers.  Who occasioned the delay?

Explanation:

There are usually some costs with construction contracts not meeting deadlines.  Some of them are that the asset may not be available at the required time for use, occasioning the need to incur some costs for alternatives.  How would the gap be filled?  Which party bears the costs of the delays?  Are there provisions in the contract specifying the party that assumes liability for some unforeseen delays?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

WACC 13.85600%

Explanation:

First we calculate Eastern Pizza CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.08

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.04

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 2

Ke= 0.08 + 2 (0.04)

Ke 0.16000

Then we solve for WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.16000

Equity weight 0.8

Kd 0.08

Debt Weight 0.2

t 0.34

WACC = 0.16(0.8) + 0.08(1-0.34)(0.2)

WACC 13.85600%

The company will use the data on eastern Pizza to evualuate project presented to it. Also, it will  consider the new tax rate to determinate the tax shield.

joja [24]

Answer:

The answer is = 12.5%

Explanation:

The 175 people that have jobs are in unemployment (employed).

The 25 people that are not working but are looking for jobs are called unemployed.

The 90 people are neither working nor looking for work for work are not counted in the employment.

Therefore, the labor force is employed people + unemployed people.

Labor force is 175 + 25= 200 people.

So, unemployment rate is:

(unemployed people ÷ labor force) x 100

(25÷200) x 100%

=12.5%
