Answer:
B. <u>the weighted average cost of capital is minimized </u>
Explanation:
As per the traditional capital structure theory, as a firm employs more and more debt in it's capital structure, the financial leverage increases and since debt being a cheaper source of finance than equity with interest paid on debt being a tax deductible expense, the overall cost of capital initially falls.
As the firm further keeps increasing the proportion of debt, such debt raises the expectations of equity stockholders which raises the cost of equity and thus the overall cost of capital begins to rise.
An optimal capital structure under the theory refers to the one at which, overall cost of capital or the weighted average cost of capital of the firm is the lowest and value of the firm is the highest.
Answer:
the operating cash flow is $17,820
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below;
Annual depreciation = $87,000 ÷5
= $17,400
Now
Operating cash flow is
= (sales - cash costs - depreciation) × (1 - tax rate) + depreciation expense
= ($75,000 - $57,000 - $17,400) × (1 - 0.3) + $17,400
= $420 + $17,400
= $17,820
hence, the operating cash flow is $17,820
Answer:

N/B: I choose not to round up the answers.
Explanation:
The method used is the Lagrangian method. Basically, the optimization problem we are trying to solve is the utility function 
subject to the constraint
.
So the optimization problem(Lagrangian) is
,
where 
is a constant called the Lagrange multiplier.
To find the optimal consumption, we need to maximize the Lagrangian with respect to the variables 
. This we do by differentiating 
with respect to each variable and then equate to 0.
Equate (1) and (2), to get 
and substitute into (3) to get 
. Substituting into 
to get the corresponding value of 
.

Answer:
The statement is not an express warranty, because it doesn't involve a negotiation of terms between Salazar and Mitsubishi. It is an employee of the company that imploy Salazar to bring the car should the car gives problem, and didn't involve an agreement between the two parties ( Salazar and Mitsubishi)
Explanation:
What is express warranty?
An express warranty arises from the parties’ negotiations in a sales transaction. Express warranties are often included in the written terms of a contract. An “express” warranty by a seller is created by:
Any statement of fact or promise relating to the goods sold which becomes part of the basis of the bargain between the parties, creating a warranty that the goods will conform to the statement or promise.
Any description of the goods sold which becomes part of the basis of the bargain between the parties, creating a warranty that the goods will conform to the description.
Any sample or model, which becomes part of the basis of the bargain between the parties, creating a warranty that the goods will conform to the sample or model.
An express warranty may be created even if the seller does not use formal words such as “warranty” or “guarantee,” and even if the seller does not have a specific intention to make a warranty. However, an express warranty is not created merely because the seller makes a statement as to the value of the goods, or as to seller’s opinion of the goods. Generally, statements made by a seller during the course of contract negotiations are treated as statements of fact, unless it can be shown that the buyer could only have reasonably considered the statement to be an opinion.
