Answer:
4.96%
Explanation:
In order to determine the component after-tax cost of debt first we need to compute the before tax cost of debt by applying the RATE formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,155
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8.25% ÷ 2 = $41.25
NPER = 40 years × 2 = 80 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.54% × 2 = 7.08%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.08% × ( 1 - 0.30)
= 4.96%
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
The answer is true, hope that helps!!

<h3>What is present value?</h3>
Present value is the sum of cash flows discounted at the rate of interest or the discount rate. The annual cash flows for the next 10 years = $1.5 million / 10 = 150,000
The present value can be determined using a financial calculator
Cash flow from year 1 to 10 = $150,000
Discount rate = 8%
Present value = $1,006,512.21
Here is the complete question: You win a lottery with a prize of $1.5 million. Unfortunately the prize is paid in 10 an¬nual installments. The first payment is next year. How much is the prize really worth? The discount rate is 8 percent.

A National Debt is the amount of money obtained by one country from another that has not been paid. This can effect a country by means of loss of land actually owned, or it can cause agencies (e.g. Social Security Administration) to be cut on their budget. Meaning the agency to be cut of operational funding will loose a certain amount of funding until funds are found. Normally multiple agencies are cut to obtain some of the money to pay back the debt but this can really hurt agencies for reasoning of staffing as well as other operational costs. Hope this helps!
