One of the lessons that we learned from the Ford Pinto case was that:_________

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: option 3

Explanation:

Background to the case:

The cases involving the explosion of Ford Pinto's due to a defective fuel system design led to the debate of many issues, most centering around the use by Ford of a cost-benefit analysis and the ethics surrounding its decision not to upgrade the fuel system based on this analysis.

Basis of analysis:

Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in manufacturing could lead to seriously bodily harm and even worse death, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?

Rule of the court:

There hasn’t really been a definite decision about the case and arguments both for and against such an analysis have been made. It is an economically efficient method which has been accepted by courts for numerous years, however, juries may not always agree, so companies should take this into account.

Discretion is expected to be used.

You were hired as a consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equ

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A. 8.15

Explanation:

WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.

In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:

WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)

E = Common equity

D = Debt

PE = Preferred equity

%E = Common equity / total capital

%D = Debt / total capital

%PE = Preferred equity / total capital

Tax = Tax rate

<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>

<u>Calculation:</u>

Using the above formula we can calculate WACC

WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)

WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500

Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

$\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time 1.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV$

PV 41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow: 18,600.00

time 2.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV$

PV 14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}$

We can solve and get:

x1 = 0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

$\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1$

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.
