Mesa Cheese Company has developed a new cheese slicer called Slim Slicer. The company plans to sell this slicer through its cata

log, which it issues monthly. Given market research, Mesa believes that it can charge $20 for the Slim Slicer. Prototypes of the Slim Slicer, however, are costing $22. By using cheaper materials and gaining efficiencies in mass production, Mesa believes it can reduce Slim Slicer's cost substantially. Mesa wishes to earn a return of 40% of the selling price.

Company X currently has a capital structure that consists of 40% equity, 20% preferred equity, and 40% of debt. The risk-free ra
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

14.58%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8

equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72

d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58

p = 0.2 x 6 =  1.2

11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 64 percent common stock, 9 percent preferred stock, and 27 percent debt
nlexa [21]

Answer:

10.02%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below. The formula of WACC is shown below:

= (Weightage of debt × cost of debt)  + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= 27% × 7.6% × (1 - 0.40) + 9% × 5.9% + 64% × 12.9%

= 2.052% × (1 - 0.40) + 0.531% + 8.256%

= 10.02%

A professional basketball players' union negotiates a contract that dramatically increases all players' salaries. How would this
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B) It would increase the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are defined as the cost of choosing one alternative activity or investment over another.

The basketball player has two options, he can continue to play for an NBA team with a much better salary, or he can decide to become a broadcaster. If the player decides to quit basketball, then he will lose more money due to pay raise. That amount of money that he will lose if he decides to become a broadcaster is the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster. Since the pay increase raised the player's salary, the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster also increases.

To join an upscale country​ club, an individual must first purchase a membership bond for​ $20,000. In​ addition, monthly member
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: $61,697.90

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

Membership bond = $20,000

Monthly membership due= $250

Annual percentage rate(APR) = 6% = 0.06

monthly rate (r) = 0.06 ÷ 12 = 0.005

Payment per period(P) = $250

Using the formula for present value of ordinary annuity:

PRESENT VALUE (PV) =

P[(1 - ((1 + r)^(-n)) ÷ r]

$250 [ 1 - ((1 + 0.005)^-360))÷0.005]

$250 [( 1 - (1.005)^-360)÷ 0.005]

$250 × [0.83395807196 ÷ 0.005]

$250 × 166.791614392335

PV = $41,697.90

Membership bond + present value

$20,000 + $41,697.90

= $61,697.90
