Answer:

c. marginal utility diminishes as more of a product is consumed.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing marginal utility states that when a person consumes more and more units, the marginal utility of extra units diminishes as additional units are obtained from the marginal utility.  

Moreover, the graph of this diminished marginal utility that results in the consumer demand curve for a product goes downward sloping.

Kountry Kitchen has a cost of equity of 10.6 percent, a pretax cost of debt of 5.2 percent, and the tax rate is 39 percent. If t
kap26 [50]

Answer: .27

Explanation:

The Debt to Equity Ratio is the amount of Debt per dollar that the company owes per dollar of Equity. It must add up to 1.

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital measures just how much a company needs to pay to it's capital holders including shareholders and debt holders.

The formula is,

WACC = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (Cost of debt * Weight of debt)

Remember that Debt is tax deductible so the After tax cost of debt should be,

= 5.2% ( 1 - tax rate)

= 5.2% * ( 1 - 39%)

= 3.172%.

The debt weight is the amount of debt that the company has per dollar so that means that it is also the Debt to Equity ratio. Denote it as 'x' to find it. Remember that they must add up to one.

WACC = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (Cost of debt * Weight of debt)

8.59% = 10.6% ( 1 - x) + 3.172%( x)

8.59% = 10.6% - 10.6%x + 3.172%x

8.59% = 10.6% - 7.428%x

7.428%x = 10.6% - 8.59%

7.428%x = 2.01%

x = 0.271

= 27%

Debt to Equity is 0.27.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Beginning inventory = 1,200 units

Budgeted sales = 456,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 3,200 units

Now,

Production Required is given as:

= ( Budgeted Sales + Ending Inventory Required ) - Beginning Inventory

on substituting the respective values, we get

Production Required = 456,000 + 3,200 - 1,200

or

Production Required = 458000
