A regional restaurant chain, CoCo's, is considering purchasing a smaller chain, AJ's, which is currently financed using 20% debt
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

13.856%

Explanation:

For computing the discounting rate we have to find out the weightage average cost of capital but before that first we have to determine the cost of equity and the after tax cost of debt which is shown below:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 8% + 2 × 4%

= 16%

And, the after cost of debt is

= Cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8% × (1 - 0.34)

= 5.28%

Now the weighted cost of capital is

= Cost of debt × weighted of debt + cost of equity × weighted of equity

= 5.28% × 20% + 16% × 80%

= 1.056% + 12.8%

= 13.856%

The above exercise has to do with GDP Analysis. It contains a comparison between Real GDP and nominal GDP.

<h3>What is real GDP?</h3>

Real GDP refers to a version of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) that has been adjusted for the effects of price inflation.

Thus:

From 2007 Q4 through 209 Q2, the real GDP grew by - 3.98%. This was a negative growth.

This was computed by the following formula:
% Increase = (Amount representing increase/ Original Figure) x 100

That is :   ((15,134.10 -15762.00)/15,762.00)*100

= -3.98363151884

≈-3.98

If a firm has fixed costs of $30,000, a variable cost per unit of $.75, and a break-even point of 5,000 units, the sales price p
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The sales price per unit will be $6.75.

Explanation:

The break even point is where the total revenue is total cost such that profit equals zero.

The break even level of output is 5,000 units.

The fixed costs is $30,000.

The variable cost per unit is $.75.

The total variable cost is

= .75\ \times\ 5,000

= $3750

The total cost will be

= $30,000 + $3,750

= $33,750

Which is also equal to total revenue

Now,

Total revenue = Price\ \times\ Quantity

$33,750 = Price\ \times\ 5,000

Price = \frac{33,750}{5,000}

Price = $6.75
