Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as below:
WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E , where:
A: Market value of company asset;
D: Market value of company debt;
E: Market value of company equity;
r_D: pre-tax cost of debt;
r_E: cost of equity;
t: tax rate
Rearrange above formula a bit, we get:
WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (1 - D/A) x r_E
Putting all the numbers together, we have:
10.9% = (D/A) x 8.9% x (1 - 38%) + (1 - D/A) x 12%
Solve the equation, we get D/A = 17% or D/E = 0.2
So, target debt−equity ratio is 0.2

B. 86.96
C. 16.46%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made on a project.
The net present value substracts the present value of tax adjusted cash flows from the amount invested in the project.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
NPV = $86.96
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the tax adjusted cash flows from a project to the original amount invested.
Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:
Cash flow for year 0 = -500
Cash flow for year 1 = 300
Cash flow for year 2 = 200
Cash flow for year 3 = 150
Interest rate = 6%
IRR = 16.46%
Answer:
The correct answer is: "People are rational".
Explanation:
Economics is the study of people's rational options when faced with scarcity and uncertainty, and that happens to all of us. The problem is that people are hardly rational, because our nature often acts against our economic interests.
Not long ago and until today, the work is done during the day, that is, Monday through Friday; A reality for most people. However, much of the economic activity, both ours and the entire world, operates 24/7. Today, millions of workers have unpredictable schedules. This is especially common in jobs related to services and retail sales. For example, many chain stores use personnel algorithms with traffic and apparently this makes sense, but shareholders always expect efficient efforts to maximize profits. If not, however difficult it is, particularly for workers, to get another job.
