Answer:

8.20%

Explanation:

Debt equity ratio = 0.95

or

Debt = 0.95 × equity

Cost of equity, ke = 11% or 0.11

Pretax cost of debt, kd = 7% or 0.07

Tax rate = 24% or 0.24

Therefore;

WACC = {Weight of equity × ke } + {Weight of debt × kd × (1-Tax rate)}

It is to be noted that ;

Weight of equity = Equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)

= Equity ÷ ( 0.95×Equity + Equity)

=1 ÷ 1.95

=0.513

Also,

Weight of debt = Debt ÷ ( Debt + Equity)

=0.95 × Equity ÷ ( 0.95 × Equity + Equity)

= 0.95 ÷ 1.95

=0.487

Hence,

WACC = {0.513 × 0.11} + {0.487 × 0.07 × (1-0.24)}

= {0.05643} + {0.03409 × 0.76}

= 0.0823384

or

0.0823384 × 100%

=8.23384

=8.20%

omeli [17]

Answer: c. cash receipts journal

Explanation:

Good internal controls over the write-off of uncollectible accounts include the company reviewing the cash receipts journal to ensure that the uncollectible accounts should indeed be uncollectible by making sure that the customer has not paid their balance.

This is because there is a chance of fraud if the cash receipts are not checked as an employee might take the cash paid by a receivable and then record that the receivable is uncollectible.

While we covered mergers and acquisitions in this unit, let’s turn our focus to strategic alliances. what are the three types of
vovangra [49]

The three types of strategic alliances are Joint ventures, Equity Strategic alliances, and Non-Equity Strategic alliances. The advantages and disadvantages of strategic alliances are reduced costs & risks and potential competitors respectively.

There are three types of strategic alliances. A joint venture is a corporation that was created by two parent companies. It is kept up by distributing assets and equity according to a legal contract.

When one corporation buys shares in another company, a strategic equity partnership results. An agreement to share resources without forming a separate firm or allocating equity is called a non-equity strategic partnership.

Partners may grow up quickly, create cutting-edge customer solutions, break into new markets, and pool important resources and experience through strategic alliances. And this is a game-changer in a business environment that prizes speed and creativity.

Its drawbacks include a lack of managerial engagement or equity interest, apprehension about market insulation because a local partner is present, ineffective communication, and inefficient resource allocation.

When Acme Dynamite produces 250 units of output, its variable cost is $2,000, and its fixed cost is $500. It sells each unit of
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The firm will continue to produce in the short run.

Explanation:

Given the number of units produced by Acme Dynamite = 250 units.

The variable cost of producing the 250 units = $2000

The fixed cost = $500

The selling price = $25 per unit.

The new price after the fall in price = $10

Total revenue from the selling of 250 units = 250 × 10 = $2500

Since the revenue received is covering the variable cost and fixed cost. Thus, the firm will produce or continue to produce in the short run.
