You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $60,000, and it would co

st another $12,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $21,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $12,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $58,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.

Queen, inc., has a total debt ratio of .32.
gulaghasi [49]

(A) Debt ratio = 0.32

Debt/(debt + equity)= 0.32

Debt = 0.32 *Debt + 0.32 *Equity

0.68* Debt = 0.32* Equity

Debt = 0.32*Equity/0.68 = 0.32/0.68 * Equity

Debt /equity ratio = (0.32/068*Equity)/Equity

Debt/Equity ratio = 0.32/0.68 = 0.47

Debt-equity ratio = 0.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

(B) Equity multiplier = 1 + debt -equity = 1+0.47 = 1.47

Equity multiplier = 1.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

Gnesinka [82]
The answer is A. Michelle's meeting with the section managers is one in which she is dispensing information or functioning as a disseminator. Michelle is connecting with others here, but she is not a liaison because she is connecting within the organization, not outside of it. Michelle is neither addressing a problem nor mediating between parties so she is not functioning in the role of disturbance handler or negotiator.Please make my answer the brainliest.
