Bonds = 75,000*1000 = 75 Million

Preferred stock = 750,000*64 = 48 Million

Common stock = 2.5 Million *44 =110 Million

Total capital = 75+48+110 = 233 Million

Weight of debt (Wd) = 75/233 = 0.3219

Weight of preferred stock (Wp)= 78/233 = 0.206

Weight of equity (We) 1-0.3219-0.206 = 0.4721

Cost of debt after tax (Rd)= 7.5%*(1-0.34) = 4.95%

Cost of preferred stock (Rp)=6/64 = 9.375%

Cost of equity(Re) = rf + beta*(rm-rf) = 2.3+1.21*(11.2-2.3) = 13.069%

WACC = Wd *Rd + Wp*Rp + We*Re

WACC = 0.3219*4.95 + 0.206*9.375 + 0.4721*13.069% = 9.69%

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$42.5 billion

Explanation:

the expected value formula = ∑ (valueₙ x probabilityₙ)

expected value = (low value x probability of low value) + (most likely value x probability of most likely value) + (high value x probability of high value)

= ($5 billion x 20%) + ($45 billion x 70%) + ($100 billion x 10%) = $1 billion + $31.5 billion + $10 billion = $42.5 billion

Suppose that a monopoly firm finds that its MR is $60 for the first unit sold each day, $59 for the second unit sold each day, $
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer

A. MRP = Change in revenue / Change in Labor

For first worker = 60 + 59 + 58 + 57 + 56 = 290/1 = $290

Since he produces 5 units.

Second Worker = 55 + 54 + 53 + 52 = 216/1 = $174

Since he produces 4.

Similarly,

Third worker = 51 + 50 + 49 = $150

Fourth worker = 48 + 47 = $95

Fifth worker = $46

B. Now all units are charged at $50

First worker = 5*50 = $250

Second = 4*50 = $200

third = 3*50 = $150

and so on.

C. If the wage is $210 it will demand workers until the MRP decreases below 210 and that happens for worker 2 here.

Since he can produce only $200 for $210 wage, he should not be hired. Hence only one worker will be hired here

D. If the wage falls to $97 the demand for workers will increase, again for worker 4 MRP is $100 which is above $97 and worker 5 goes below.
