Answer:

its weighted cost of capital for the coming year is 9.64%

Explanation:

WACC is the minimum return expected from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

<u>Calculation of WACC.</u>

Capital Source              Weight            Cost               Total

Debt                                  40%            6.60%             2.64%

Common Equity               60%             11.67%            7.00%

Total                                100%                                    9.64%

Cost of Debt = Market Interest Rate × ( 1 - tax rate)

                     = 11%×(1-0.40)

                     = 6.60%

Cost of Equity = (Next year`s dividend/Current Market Price of a share)+Expected growth rate

                       = ($1.40/$30)+0.07

                       = 11.67%

Grace [21]

Answer:

B) Cannibalization occurs when the sales of a new brand take away from sales of an existing brand. Whenever a firm sells a new product it must look out for cannibalization. Michael's new mp3 players are cannibalizing the sales of his old players.

Explanation:

Market cannibalization occurs when a company's new product line crowds out the existing market for its current products, rather than expanding the company's market base as originally intended. In other words, rather than appealing to an additional segment of the market, a new product line appeals to the company's current market, reducing the demand for its established products. In this respect, market cannibalization is an instance in which a company's own two product lines compete against one another.

To reverse the previously made entry, we simply debit what is credited and debit what is credited.

b. Just ike what we did on the previous transaction, we will debit the Accounts payable and credit the cash that has been recorded by mistake to zereod out the balance and then make the correct entry. Debit Cash $3,700 and credit Accounts receivable $3,700.

9% of annual rate of interest will she be earning on her investment .The price of borrowing money is reflected in the interest rate on a credit card.

<h3>What is annual  rate interest ?</h3>

The price of borrowing money is reflected in the interest rate on a credit card. We utilize the annual percentage rate for this (APR). On the majority of credit cards, you can avoid paying interest on purchases if you pay your balance in full each month by the due date.

The term annual percentage rate of charge refers to the interest rate for an entire year rather than just a monthly fee or rate as applied on a loan, mortgage loan, credit card, etc. It can also be referred to as a nominal APR or an effective APR. It is an annual rate of a finance charge.
