Answer:<em> Option (E) is correct.</em>

From the given option, the following will reduce Bankston's need to issue new common stock: <em>Increase the percentage of debt in the target capital structure.</em>

With an increase in percentage of debt , there will be a proportional increase in cost of equity and thereby decreasing investment in equity. This will therefore reduce Bankston's need to issue new common stock

Assume that there are two nations, alpha and beta. each nation produces two products, wheat and steel. alpha has a comparative a
Klio2033 [76]

If the two nations trade, the trade price of wheat in terms of steel will be "greater than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in alpha and less than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in beta".

Opportunity cost speaks to the advantages an individual, financial specialist or business misses out while picking one option over another. While financial reports don't demonstrate opportunity cost, entrepreneurs can utilize it to settle on wise choices when they have different choices available to them.

Answer:

You should invest in US bonds because you will be able to earn a higher return than if you build and sell microwaves.

Explanation:

alternative 1, build and sell microwave ovens:

initial outlay = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $225,000 - $200,000 = $25,000

alternative 2, invest in US securities:

investment = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $500,000 x 10% = $50,000

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another.

If you choose to build and sell microwaves, you will not be able to invest in bonds, and therefore, your net income will decrease by $25,000 - $50,000 = -$25,000.

Instead, if you invest in bonds and not microwaves, your net income will increase by $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000.

The property of water that produces water's surface tension is called ______, which is the tendency of water molecules to stick
fgiga [73]

The property of water that produces water's surface tension is called <u>cohesion</u>, which is the tendency of water molecules to stick together.

More about surface tension:

The force per unit length that must be supplied parallel to the surface in order to balance the net inward pull is known as the surface's "tension."

All nearby molecules in a liquid share the cohesive forces that hold them together. Because they don't have any above-surface neighbours, molecules on the surface exert stronger attractive forces on their closest neighbours below and on the surface.

Due to the cohesive structure of the water molecules, surface tension can be described as the characteristic of a liquid's surface that permits it to resist an external force.
