11.55% is the weighted average cost of capital for these funds

Explanation:

Firm has 76000000 in debt and 100000000 in equity. Thus the proportion of debt =

             = 76000000/(76000000 + 100000000)

             = 43.18%

and proportion of equity =  1 - 43.18%  = 56.82%

Therefore, WACC =  0.4318 * 6.1 + 0.5682 * 15.7

                               = 11.55%

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for
faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
