Answer:

- An increase in the family's car payment means the family will be unable to afford a vacation.

- A newer model offers better protection and functions but is more expensive than an older model.

Explanation:

A trade off is synonymous to opportunity cost. It occurs when one forgoes a best alternative when they chose another. In this case, if this family chooses to buy a new car, you answer the question by looking at the next best thing they are giving up. That could be a vacation; they may not afford it since they would spend the money to buy the car. Additionally, a new car has new parts and is safer than an old car but it costs more; that's also a trade-off.

Answer:

WACC= 17.95%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.

It is calculated using the formula below:

WACC = (We×Ke) + (Wd×Kd)

Ke-cost of equity- 22%

We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%

Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%

Wd- 45%

After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%

Cost of equity = 22%

WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%

WACC= 17.95%

Svetach [21]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The integration of countries from the same region into a trade bloc has the purpose of free movement of goods and services among lower-priced member countries. This is because from integration, countries give up tariffs and customs barriers, allowing products to be marketed to everyone at a lower cost, aiming at the common good. If countries use the same currency, the benefits of integration are even greater as they eliminate currency conversion costs.An example of this type of integration is the European Union, where products move freely between member countries and are sold in the same currency, the euro.

Explanation:

Calculation for the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input

PRESENT

Average time =59 minutes

Cost=59 minutes x$1.30 per minute

Cost = $76.7

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$76.7

Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A

Average time= (59 minutes-16 minutes)

Average time=43 minutes

Cost= 43 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $3.60

Cost=$55. 9+$3.60

= $59.50

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$59.50

Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B

Average time= (59 minutes - 17 minutes)

Average time=42 minutes

Cost= 42 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $5.60

Cost=$54. 6+$5.60

= $60.20

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$60.20

Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

PRESENT:Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A:Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B:Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

Therefore COMPANY – A with the amount of $6.72 would have the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input because it has the highest amount.
