Answer:

e. Minimize the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

Explanation:

A: Earnings per share is linked to the stockholders' only, therefore, it cannot achieve the target capital structure. It is a wrong statement.

B: Minimizing the cost of equity is related to the equity only, so, it is also a false statement.

C: Cost of debt is only related to liabilities. It cannot minimize the total target capital structure. Therefore, it cannot be an answer.

D: It is out of question because target capital structure cannot obtain the bond rating.

E: Since weighted average cost of capital is the combination of debt and equity capital's cost, it can be minimized with the firm's target capital structure.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

All go to Sweden.

Explanation:

The two countries Germany and Sweden both can produce furniture and steel. Germany can produce one unit of steel or furniture in 12 days while Sweden can make one unit of steel in 15 days and one unit of furniture in 10 days. Germany has no advantage from the trade since it can produce both the goods in same time. Therefore all of the trade gain would belong to Sweden.

Identify the percent increase in total sales and the percent increase in sales of trench coats. Then find which percent of incre

geniusboy [140]

The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.

Computation:

1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2006}&=103+297+210+213+137\\&=960\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2007}&=127+223+210+285+259\\&=1104\end{aligned}$

2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:

For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{1104-960}{960}\times100\\&=15\%\end{aligned}$

For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase in Sale of Trench Coat}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{127-103}{103}\times100\\&=23.33\%\end{aligned}$

3. Now, the net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Net Percentage Change}&=\text{\text{Percentage Increase in Trench Coat}-\text{Percentage Increase}}\\&=23.33\%-15\%\\&=8.3\%\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.
