Answer:
5.925%
Explanation:
For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $1,050
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% = $80
NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 5.925%
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries
Answer:
Deprecation base=$26,300
Explanation:
Given Data:
Cost of machine=$28,000
Tax=$125
Fees=$200
Shipping charges=$500
Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine=$475
Salvage value=$3000
Useful life = 6 years
Required:
Depreciation base of Cominsky's new machine=?
Solution:
Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value
Acquisition Cost:
It is the cost which involves the buying of asset and making the asset to work. In our case:
Acquisition Cost=Cost of machine+Tax+Fees+Shipping charges+Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine
Acquisition Cost=$28,000+$125+$200+$500+$475
Acquisition Cost=$29300
Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value
Deprecation base=$29300-$3000
Deprecation base=$26,300
