Answer:

after-tax cost of debt 5.2725%

Explanation:

We will solve for the market rate of the bonds which is the one that makes the maturity and coupon payment equal to its current market price:

We sovle it using a financial calcualtor or excel goal seek tool

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 110.000 (1,000 x 11%)

time  10 years

<em>rate 0.070304812</em>

110 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0703048118151927)^{-10} }{0.0703048118151927} = PV\\

PV $771.5066

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

Maturity   1,000

time   10 years  

<em> rate  0.070304812</em>

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0703048118151927)^{10} } = PV  

PV   506.90

PV c $771.5066

PV m  $506.9034

Total $1,278.4100

Now that we find that market rate is 7.03%

we calcautle the after tax cost of debt:

7.03 x (1 - 25%) = 5.2725%

What is Labor force?
The labor force is made up of both employed people and unemployed people, and the unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of jobless people by the total labor force. If a person works for compensation or runs their own business for at least an hour any day of the week, including the twelfth of the month, they are regarded to be employed. If a person works for compensation or runs their own business for at least an hour any day of the week, including the twelfth of the month, they are regarded to be employed. In a family-run firm, individuals who put in at least fifteen hours of unpaid work are also regarded as employees. Employed people include those who are temporarily away from their work due to a vacation, illness, inclement weather, or other personal reasons. Those who worked full-time (35 hours or more during the survey week) and those who worked part-time are both considered to be in the employed category.

Karl opens a savings account with $2500. He deposits $1500 every year into the account that has a 0.75% interest rate, compounde
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Total FV= $29,335.25

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value of the initial investment ($2,500) using the following formula:</u>

FV= PV*(1 + i)^n

PV= $2,500

i= 0.0075

n=10*12= 120 months

FV= 2,500*(1.0075^120)

FV= $6,128.39

<u>Now, the future value of the $1,500 annual deposit:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

We need to determine the effective annual rate:

Effective annual rate= (1.0075^12) - 1= 0.0938

FV= {1,500*[(1.0938^10) - 1]} / 0.0938

FV= $23,206.86

Total FV= $29,335.25

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Assets= 15,000

Liabilities= 10,000

Owner's equity= 5,000

Explanation:

When he invests 5,000 of his own money that 5,000 is an asset as it is cash and the 10,000 he borrows is also an asset as it is cash. The liabilities are 10,000 as he has to pay 10,000 back and it is a loan so it is a liability also.

The owners equity is 5,000 as he invested 5,000 of his own money in the business and that is owners equity.
