Answer:
0.73
Explanation:
Given that
WACC = 11%
Tax rate = 34%
Cost of equity = 14.9 %
Cost of debt = 8.6%
Recall that
WACC = (cost of equity × % of equity) + (cost of debt × % of debt) + ( 1 - tax rate)
We are to find
Cost of debt and cost of equity
Let
Cost of debt be x
Cost of equity be (1 - x)
Thus,
0.11 = (1 - x)(0.149) + (x)(0.086)(1 - 0.34)
x = 0.4228
Therefore,
Debt-equity ratio
= Cost of debt/cost of equity
= 0.4228/(1 - 0.4228)
= 0.73

Answer:
The correct answer is A. Both Laura and Cassie are correct.
Explanation:
Since Laura says that the present value of $ 700 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 6 percent is less than the present value of $ 700 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 3 percent, and Cassie says that $ 700 saved for one year at 6 percent interest has a smaller future value than $ 700 saved for two years at 3 percent interest, to determine who is right, the following calculations must be performed:
700 x 1.06 = 742
700 x 1.03 ^ 2 = 742.63
Therefore, both Laura and Cassie are correct in their claims.
Answer:
Total= 36,800 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (units ) - Production (units):
May: 20,000 - 19,000
June: 18,000 - 16,000
Two pounds of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs.
Purchases for May= production for the month + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 19,000*2 pounds= 38,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= (16,000*2)*0.2= 6,400 pounds
Beginning inventory= (38,000*0.2)= (7,600)
Total= 36,800 pounds
