Answer:

Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.7%

After-tax cost of debt is 5.66%

Explanation:

the cost of debt financing  before tax is the yield to maturity on the bond, which can be computed using the rate formula in excel.

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper  is the number of times the bonds pay s interest which is 15*2=30

pmt is the semi-annual  interest of the bond:9.6%/2*$1000=$48

pv  is the current market price of $1,120 minus 4% flotation cost i.e 1120*96%=$1075.2

Fv is the face of the bond at $1000

=rate(30,48,-1075.2 ,1000)

rate=4.35% on semi-annual basis

rate  =4.35%*2=8.7% on annual basis

after tax cost of debt =8.7%*(1-0.35)

                                    =5.66%

If oligopolistic firms facing similar cost and demand conditions successfully collude, price and output results in this industry
Andrews [41]

Answer:

C) the monopoly model

Explanation:

First of all, collusion is illegal, and it is defined as secret cooperation between individuals or organizations that should be competing against each other.

In this case, the oligopolistic firms should be competing against each other trying to earn a larger market share, but since they collude together, they will act as if they were one single large monopoly. Usually collusion leads to higher prices, benefiting the companies but hurting the customers. Since all the competing firms in the market decided to work together, they will set their prices in a similar manner to a monopoly since there is no real competition between them.

For long-term positive relations, the goal of negotiation should most likely be to ________. a) establish a clear line of commun
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) reach a settlement that benefits all parties.

Explanation:

Taking into account the nature of the relationship (long-term), an adequate treatment is exclusively required to achieve broad levels of negotiation. When this process is carried out under a harmonious environment, it is more feasible that part and part objectives can be achieved, which allows negotiations to be carried out in the future for the benefit of both people. A negotiation requires time and studies, for which some claims that harm the establishment of a common good must be lowered.

Suppose that in the second year her average total cost per dog is $35 and that $20 of that is associated with the variable cost.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

She should stay open, because the revenue of from dog grooming ($30 per dog), is still high enough to cover her variable cost of $20 per dog, even though she is operating at a loss.

Explanation:

Profit = Revenue - Total costs

Total costs = Fixed costs + variable costs

Profit = $30 - $35 = -$5 per dog

This shows she is operating at a loss of $5 per dog.

If a company does not make enough revenue to cover its total costs, then it is operating at a loss.

However such a company must consider its variable cost before deciding whether to shut down.

A company should only shut down if it is unable to make enough revenue to cover its variable cost.

If a company is operating at a loss but can at least cover its variable cost, then it should stay open at least in the short run.

In addition to telling readers why an illustration is important, why else should you refer to it in the text of your document?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

To assist the readers to relate objects and actions with texts.

Explanation:

Aside from telling readers why an illustration is important, the other reason you should refer to it in the text of your document is "to assist the readers to relate objects and actions with texts."

This is evident in the fact that illustration in a text is a means of presenting a graphical representation of ideas, processes, or theories to aid or give elaborate meaning to what is written.
