Answer:
The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.
Explanation:
Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed. 
In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
As the price level rises, the purchasing power of households' real wealth will <u>fall</u>, causing the quantity of output demand to <u>fall.</u> This phenomenon is known as the <u>wealth</u> effect.
Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to <u>rise</u> in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreign (exports) will therefore <u>fall</u>, and the number of foreign products purchases by domestic consumers and firms(imports) will <u>rise</u>. 
Net exports will therefore <u>fall</u>, causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to <u>fall.</u> This phenomenon is known as the <u>exchange rate</u> effect.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.45%
b) After tax cost of debt is 5.07% 
Explanation:
a) Given:
Debt issue outstanding = $15.5 million
Semi-annual coupon rate = 0.063 / 2 = 0.0315
Assumed par value (FV) = $1,000
Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.0315 × 1000 = $31.5
Current bond price (PV) = 92% of $1,000 = $920
Time period (nper) = 5 × 2 = 10 periods
Calculate semi-annual rate using  spreadsheet function =Rate(nper,pmt,PV,FV)
Semi-annual rate = 4.14%
Pmt and FV are negative as they are cash outflows.
YTM = 4.14 × 2 = 8.28%
Effective annual rate = 
                                    = 
                                    = 0.0845 or 8.45%
b) Tax rate is 40%
After tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt × (1 - 0.4)
                                     = 0.0845 × 0.6
                                     = 0.0507 or 5.07%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding 
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
