Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The WACC is 13.37%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure is made up of debt, preferred stock and common stock. In this question, there are only two components present in the capital structure i.e. debt and common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component in the capital structure or value of each component as a proportion of total assets
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • we take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply cost of debt by (1 - tax rate)

We first need to determine the cost of equity using the CAPM,

rE = 0.05 + 1.25 * 0.07   =  0.1375 or 13.75%

We know that assets = debt + equity

Assets = (0.95 * 10)  +  (2.8 * 50)

Assets = 9.5  +  140  

Assets = 149.5 million

The WACC for ABC is:

WACC = 9.5/149.5  *  0.12  *  (1 - 0.35)  +  140/149.5  *  0.1375

WACC = 0.1337 or 13.37%

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: $650,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fair and par value of issued bonds = $150,000

Prior acquisition, McGuire reported

Total assets = $500,000

Liabilities = $280,000

Stockholders’ equity = $220,000

At that date, Able reported

Total assets = $400,000

Liabilities = $250,000

Stockholders’ equity = $150,000

Account payable to McGuire = $20,000

Total assets reported by McGuire after acquisition:

= Total assets + Fair value of investment

= $500,000 + $150,000

= $650,000

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: idle production capacity

Explanation:

Idle capacity refers to the remaining amount of capacity that is left in a company when both the productive and the protective capacity have been removed from consideration.

Since the plane has a capacity of 120 passengers but he has averaged only 24 passengers, a load factor of 20 percent. Once the plane takes off, the other 96 seats generate no sales and profits to the airline for that flight, then the unique aspect of services does this situation describe idle production capacity.
