Answer:

B. Consumer Price Index​ (CPI)

Inflation over the period 2008-2009: 5.85%

Explanation:

The CPI metric is a weighted average price of the goods and services which are consumed by a typical family. It is calcualte on a monthly basis and it is used to calcualte the inflation rate:

\delta = \frac{CPI_1}{CPI_0} - 1

In this case:

\delta = \frac{199}{188} - 1

199/188 - 1 = 0,058510638 = 5.85%

enot [183]

In the above mentioned scenario, the salesman is given a kickbacks - "advantages" for either the good relationship that they have maintained with the client or for luring them to always provide them the product/service with discounts.

So in this situation I would obviously replace the salesman because such situations cannot be ignored and there is no assurance that the salesman will not take kickbacks henceforth. And asking for a cut is ethically wrong as the salesman getting the kickbacks.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

KJ Pharma Corporation

KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is:

= 4.55%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of the bond = $100

Annual coupon rate (cost of debt) = 6.5%

Maturity period of bond = 20 years

Tax rate = 30%

After-Tax Cost of Debt = 6.5 (1 - 0.3)

= 4.55%

b) KJ Pharma's after-tax cost of debt is the interest paid on the bond less any income tax savings accounted for as deductible interest expenses. To calculate the after-tax cost of debt, KJ subtracts the company's effective tax rate from 1 and multiplies the difference by its cost of debt.
