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%

The regulations restaurants must follow concerning restrooms
Hoochie [10]
Restaurants of any size are regulated by a variety of local, state and federal laws dealing with health and safety for customers and employees. A critical component of restaurant design is providing restrooms for customers and employees, and for both men and women in each category. This includes the physical facilities and signage, as well as provision for handicapped or wheelchair access. In most areas, a local health department is the key agency monitoring all regulations related to restaurant restrooms, and it should be consulted during the design phase. An inspection, including restrooms, normally is required before a restaurant can open.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

B. Real options must have positive value because they are only exercised when doing so would increase the value of the investment.

C. Having the real option but not the obligation to act is valuable.

D. If exercising the real option would reduce​ value, managers can allow the option to go unexercised.

Explanation:

A real option is a choice made available to the managers of a company concerning business investment opportunities. It is referred to as “real” because it typically references projects involving a tangible asset instead of a financial instrument. Tangible assets are physical assets such as machinery, land, and buildings, as well as inventory.

A 'real option' is also a choice available to a company regarding an investment opportunity. The term 'real' means that it refers to a tangible asset and not a financial instrument. Examples of real options include determining whether to build a new factory, change the machinery and technology on a production line.

Personal ethics

Explanation:

Personal ethics applies to the ethics that a person who identifies with in respect to the people and circumstances that they contend with in everyday life. Professional ethics means the ethics a person has to adhere to in relation to their professional relationships and business transactions.

The principles of personal ethics are:

  • Concern and respect for the autonomy of others.
  • Honesty and the willingness to comply with the law.
  • Fairness and the ability not to take undue advantage of others.

Ethics also shield members from harmful actions, such as success, money and power. They also help individuals gain a sense of truth and meaning of life. Unless you have some idea of knowing what is right and what is wrong people have no way to live and feel free to do whatever they want.

An ethical culture community offers a culture that supports the ethical conduct of the organization's members. Unethical conduct is any activity of a member who does not comply with the standards established by the organization's culture.
