Answer:

B) Climate of trust

Explanation:

The problem seems to be Climate of trust. This fundamental factor allows teams to perform better than the sum of the performance of each of its members. Through an environment of trust, each member is supported and coached by other team members making individual improvements and increasing synergies within the team. A climate of trust is not exempt from criticism, but this criticism is understood as a helping tool rather than an instrument of personal harm. Finally, a climate of trust allows that errors and mistakes become a useful source of learning.

Here I Sit Sofas has 7,100 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $94 per share. There are 600 bonds that mature in 30

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Weight of debt = 57.83 %

Explanation:

given data

number of shares = 7,100

price = $94 per share

number of bonds = 600

mature time = 30 year s

coupon rate = 6.8 percent

bonds par value = $2,000

sell = 108.5 percent

stock outstanding = 6,000 shares

stock outstanding price = $47 per share

to find out

capital structure weight of the debt

solution

first we get here Equity market value that is express as

Equity market value = number of shares × price per share

Equity market value = 7100 × $94

Equity market value = $667,400

and

current debt value will be here as

current debt value = number of bonds × price per bond

current debt value = 600 × (1.085 × 2000)

current debt value = $1,302,000

and now Preferred stock value will be

Preferred stock value = stock outstanding × stock outstanding price

Preferred stock value = 6,000 × $47

Preferred stock value = $282000

and total capital will be as

Total capital = Equity market value + current debt value + preferred stock value ..................1

put here value

Total capital = $667,400 + $1,302,000 + $282000

total capital = $2251400

so here Weight of debt will be

Weight of debt = debt value ÷ total capital ..............2

Weight of debt = $\frac{1,302,000}{2251400}$

Weight of debt = 0.578306

Weight of debt = 57.83 %
