Without trade, the farmer produced and consumed 2 pounds of pork and 4 pounds of tomatoes and the rancher produced and consumed
Elis [28]

Answer:

the farmer gained 6 hours worth of production and the rancher gained 8 hours worth of production.

Explanation:

                 Labor Hours to Make 1 lb. of        lbs. Produced in 24 Hours

                  Pork                  Tomatoes              Pork            Tomatoes

Farmer        6                            3                       4                       8

Rancher     4                            4                       6                      6

If both decide to specialize in producing only one good, the farmer will produce 8 pounds of tomatoes per day and the rancher will produce 6 pounds of pork per day.

This way when the rancher trades 4 pounds of pork in exchange for 6 pounds of tomatoes, he is gaining 2 pounds of pork which is equivalent to 8 labor hours.

When the rancher trades 6 pounds of tomatoes in exchange for 4 pounds of pork, he is gaining 2 pounds of tomatoes which is equivalent to 6 labor hours.

Besides the u.s. dollar, what is the only major currency to feature bills all of the same size?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Canadian dollar - Bills are often differentiated by size for the visually impaired. Larger denominations in Australia, for instance, are both taller and wider with strong contrasting colors. Euros also follow this logic, while larger notes – like the €200 and €500 – feature tactile marks too. The U.S. and Canadian dollars are currently the only major currencies with same-size notes. The Canadian dollar, however, features tactile marks on the upper righthand corner of bills, and the notes are also different colors to aid the visually impaired. While most other countries are ahead of the U.S. in making their currencies more accessible for the visually impaired, that may soon change with a new proposed $10 bill that would be the first U.S. dollar to feature tactile markings.

You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 24 percent. Debt: 14,000 6.3 perce
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000  + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now  

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally  

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1  - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%
