Answer:

First we need to compute levered cost of equity

Ro = 15.40%

D/E ratio = 0.40/(1-0.40) = 0.6667

Rd=7.2%

We have following formula for levered cost of equity using MM model proposition II:

Without taxes

Re = Ro + (Ro – Rd) x (1-t) x D/E

     = 0.1380 + (0.1380-0.0720)x (1-0.0)x0.6667

     = 0.1380 + 0.0440

     = 18.20%

Therefore, new cost of equity would be 18.20%.

With taxes

Re = Ro + (Ro – Rd) x (1-t) x D/E

     = 0.1380 + (0.1380-0.0720)x (1-0.34)x0.6667

     = 0.1380 + 0.0290

     = 16.70%

Therefore, new cost of equity would be 16.70%.

Annual maintenance costs for a particular section of highway pavement are $2500. The placement of a new surface would reduce the
rewona [7]

Answer:

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.

We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.

NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

<u>For example:</u>

Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19

Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92

Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53

NPV= 6,360.111

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The Cash paid to suppliers was $85,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of goods sold = $100,000

Decrease in inventory = $5,000

Increase in accounts payable = $10,000

Now,

Cash paid to suppliers will be

= Cost of goods sold - Decrease in inventory - Increase in accounts payable

= $100,000 - $5,000 - $10,000

= $85,000

Hence,

The Cash paid to suppliers was $85,000

swat32

Answer:

6 years

Explanation:

The Payback period calculates how much it takes the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.

Total amount invested =  $500,000 +  $100,000 =  $-600,000

Cash inflow in year 2 =  $100,000

Amount recovered in year 2 = $-600,000 + 100,000 = $-500,000

Cash inflow in year 3 =  $100,000 × 1.1 = 110,000

Amount recovered in year 3=$-500,000 + 110,000 = $-390,000

Cash inflow in year 4= $121,000

Amount recovered in year 4 = $-390,000 + $121,000 = $-269,000

Cash inflow in year 5= $133,100

Amount recovered in year 5 = $-269,000 + $133,100 = $-135,900

Cash inflow in year 6 = $146,410

Amount recovered in year 6 = $146,410 $-135,900 = $10,510

The amount is recovered In 5.93 years
