Answer:

WACC 0.1030590%

Explanation:

<u>First we use CAPM to solve the Cost of Equity</u>

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.034

market rate  

premium market market rate - risk free 0.082

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.37

 

Ke= 0.034 + 1.37 (0.082)  

Ke 0.14634

<u />

<u>Then we calculate the WACC</u>

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.14634

Equity weight 0.55

Kd 0.076

Debt Weight 0.45

t 0.34

WACC = 0.14634(0.55) + 0.076(1-0.34)(0.45)

WACC 0.1030590%

Fofino [41]

Answer:

A) The mower is only expected to be needed for three years.

Explanation:

Excelsior is surely more expensive than the Grassassinator, due to its longer working life. Therefore, it is essential to examine the period of use of the lawn mower. There is absolutely no need to invest in a long-running lawn mower if it is going to be needed twice less the time. In this case, it would be more financially efficient to invest in the Grassassinator.

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. The elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be INELASTIC.

2. Demand curves become LESS elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be MORE profitable in the long run.

Explanation:

1. As demand is inelastic, the percentage of price increase will be greater than the decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded, and consequently profit will increase.

2. In the long term, demand becomes inelastic. Consequently, in the long term the percentage of the price increase will continue to be greater than the percentage of decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded.
