Answer:
The firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.
The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file the computation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at the optimal capital structure. Also note that the data in the question are merged together but they are sorted in the attached excel file before answering the question.
The optimal capital structure of a firm can be described as a combination of debt and equity financing that is the beat in which market value of the firm is maximized while its cost of capital is minimized.
Using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the optimal capital cost capital structure occurs at a point where the WACC is the lowest.
From the attached excel file, the lowest WACC is 0.1028, or 10.28%. At this firm Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) which is debt is 0.80 (i.e. 80%), and Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) which is equity is 0.20 (i.e. 20%).
Therefore, the firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.
The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.
Answer:
Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Regular deposit amount = $250,000
No. of period = 5 years
Interest rate = 18%
Future value = Regular deposit amount × [((1+interest rate per period)^no. of period - 1) ÷ interest rate per period]
Face value = $250,000×[((1+0.18)^5-1) ÷ 0.18]
= $250,000×7.154
= $1,788,552.44
Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44
Answer:
c. The statement is false because the demand for incandescent light bulbs would increase as the price of compact fluor. light bulbs fell.
Explanation:
If improvements in production technology reduce the price of incadescent light bulbs, the normal thing that would happen is that demand for this good would increase, because now people will be able to buy the good at a lower price.
Answer:
$100 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material purchase price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity purchased × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 2,000 pounds × ($1.60 - $1.55)
= 2,000 pounds × $0.05
= $100 favorable
Simply we took the difference between the standard and the actual price, and then multiply it by the actual quantity purchased
