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%
Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
Answer:
$378,000
Explanation:
average weekly demand 70 per distribution center
average shipment size to each distribution center is 450
average lead time 3 weeks
each distribution center has a 3 week safety stock
pipeline inventory: average lead time x average demand per distribution center x average price of each modem x number of distribution centers = 3 weeks x 70 units x $360 x 5 = $378,000
pipeline inventory in transit = $378,000
The pipeline inventory represents the minimum average that the company needs to have to at least meet the weekly demand for its product.
In a world that is synchronized on a global scale, trade between nations is constant. Imports cannot be reduced by 20% in order to close the trade deficit.
<h3>Why it is not possible to reduce imports?</h3>
There are certain nations that will be impacted if the United States decides to cut imports by 20%.
As a result, imports from the United States will likewise be restricted in other nations.
In other words, the United States may experience a fall in exports while attempting to reduce imports. The overall impact on trade imbalances could be minimal.
The trade conflict between the United States and China is a good illustration. China responded to the United States taxes on its imports by imposing its own levies. As a result, both countries suffered.
As a result, there is no quick fix for decreasing trade deficits. A more delicate balance between consumption and production must be achieved over time.
The manufacturing industries must have favorable policies and incentives to encourage consumer demand for locally made items.
