Answer:

d. 5.08%

Explanation:

We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.

To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} +Face\:Value/(1+rate)^{time}= PV\\

46.25 \times \frac{1-(1+IRR/2)^{-20*2} }{rate} + 1000/(1+IRR)^{20}= 1075\\

IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)

then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:

IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt

0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08

Your manager wants you to evaluate the difference in cycle time between three different offices. Describe the steps you would ta
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Cycle time is the shortest period taken to generate a portion of it. It is a time of repeatability. Going to measure order cycle assists in testing operating performance and solecism.

It recognises places in which it needs improvement and adjustment. When evaluating the processing time of 3 distinct headquarters, this will help in understanding the periods and identify areas where every office does not have a job, suggesting reactions to stay at correct margins of operations.

          Measuring operating cycle would include using such a kanban system to note down processes right from taking information from a consumer to the time required for the completed goods to be successful to the consumer. To calculate the period the loop is efficient. What will also be addressed is not whether nonworking times even including holidays will be factored.

The three offices' cycle period should enable the leader evaluate their success all around. Calculated and measured cycle period, the chief may recommend corrective steps and map out a strategy to take benefit of an office 's smaller cycles time relative to another, optimising income and-costs.
