Starset, Inc., has a target debt-equity ratio of 1.15. Its WACC is 8.6 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent.
aev [14]

Answer:

a. 4.94%

b. 11.48%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.

We proceed as follows;

a. From the question;

The debt equity ratio = 1.15

since Equity = 1 ; Then

Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15

Mathematically ;

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)

Where WACC = 8.6%

Cost of equity = 14%

Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15

Pretax cost of debt = ?

Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Substituting these values, we have;

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))

Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%

b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt

8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15

Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)

Cost of equity = 11.48%

A degree of aggressive procurement involvement not normally encountered in supplier selection refers to ____. Group of answer ch
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

supplier development.

Explanation:

A degree of aggressive procurement involvement not normally encountered in supplier selection refers to supplier development.

Supplier development is a business strategy and it involves the process of working one-to-one basis or closely with certain suppliers in order to improve and boost their performance for the benefit of growing and developing an organization.

It is a concept that is also similar to reverse marketing in business management. It is a strategic business plan which is aimed at improving the quality and performance of suppliers by availing them resources they need to achieve success and have competitive advantage in the supply chain.

For instance, a buying organization might decide to implore suppliers to enter an emerging market.

Also, another example of the supplier development is, in order to prevent the wide-spread of Corona virus, CDC is ensuring its suppliers of ppe (personal protective equipment) are continuously supplying face masks.

Currently, a company has units of safety stock for a product located in warehouses. The company is contemplating expanding to wa
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The full question is <em>"Currently, a company has 59,000 units of safety stock for a product located in 9 warehouses. The company is contemplating expanding to 28 warehouses. The company believes that this increased safety stock inventory investment with the new locations will result in an additional $950,000 in revenue due to improved customer service. Assuming that each unit in safety stock inventory costs $4, is the expansion to 28 warehouses a potentially good idea? The proposed plan Y sense for the company because the change in total profit is $. Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar and include a minus sign if appropriate.)"</em>

<em />

Current Total safety stock = 59,000

No. of warehouses = 9

Safety stock per warehouse = 59,000/9 = $6,555.56

New number of warehouses = 28

Increase in number of warehouses = 28 - 9 = 19

Increase in number of safety stock = 19 * 6,555.56 = 124,555.64

Cost of each unit of safety stock = $4

Cost of increased safety stock = $4 * 124,555.54

Cost of increased safety stock = $498,222.56

Additional revenue = $950,000

Since, additional revenue > additional cost of safety stock, the additional warehouses is a good idea.

Increase in profit = Additional revenue - Increased cost

Increase in profit = $950,000 - $498,222.56

Increase in profit = $451,777.54

Hence, The proposed plan makes sense for the company because the change in total profit is $451,777.54
