Answer: Rarely if ever

Explanation:

In an economy resources are limited while human wants are unlimited. So resources must be used in a way that maximum consumer wants can be met efficiently. In an economy when resources are allocated efficiently it is rarely possible to make some else better off without making someone else worse off. That is it is rarely possible to increase performance of some without sacrificing on some other dimension.

Ke 0.12

Equity weight 0.5

Kd(1-t) = after tax cost of debt = 0.06

Debt Weight = 0.5

WACC = 0.12(0.5) + 0.06(0.5)

WACC 9.00000%

WACC = 0.16(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)

WACC 9.00000%

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

There is no good or service that is unlimited.

The concept of the Barter system was simply a method of exchanging value for value.

  • It was phased away due to several reasons:
  • It was not a good store of value as many of the goods were perishable
  • it didn't make for good administration: It was too cumbersome and problematic. Imagine having to store three trailers of eggs awaiting a barter exchange

Cheers!

nignag [31]

Answer:

$2681.30 approx.

Explanation:

The first annuity is case of annuity due

For the first annuity, $2500 + 2500 × cumulative present value factor at 7.25% for 14 years

= $2500 + 8.6158 × 2500

= $24040 approx

The second annuity is the case of deferred annuity wherein payments are made at the end of the year.

Payment amount of second annuity = Present Value of first annuity ÷ cumulative present value annuity factor at 7.25% for 15 years

This will be equal to 24,040/8.9658 = $2681.30 approx.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Bond carrying value = $1,470,226

Rate of interest = 8%

Rate of interest (Semiannual ) = 4%

So, we can calculate the the bond interest expense on the first interest payment by using following formula:

The bond interest expense = Bond carrying value × rate of interest (semiannual)

By putting the value we get

= $1,470,226 × 4%

= $58,809
