Answer: Option C

Explanation: In simple words, cost of capital refers to the amount of return that the investor are expecting for tasking the risk of investing in the company. In other words, it is the amount the company has to offer in return to the investors for attaining the capital from the market.

Often the cost of capital is used to evaluate the profitability of the project, that is, if the return in project is higher than the cost of financing it should be taken by the company.

However there are other component while evaluating a project that is risks associated with it. Risk of every projects is different from the other and hence only those project should be evaluated on the basis of cost of capital that is similar to the company's average.

How does specialization benefit both producers and consumors in a free market economy?

Helen [10]

Through specialization, both producers and consumers benefit. On the producer side, specialization allows producers to best use their resources in the most efficient manner possible by playing to their strengths, thus maximizing profit. On the consumer side, the fact that producers are specialized and thus efficient in their production ensures lower production costs than if products were made by less-specialized producers, translating into lower consumer-facing prices.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

deficit; negative

Explanation:

In a small open economy, starting from a position of balanced trade, if the government increases domestic government purchases, this produces a tendency toward a trade deficit and negaive net capital outflow.

This corresponds to the concept of twin deficits where a budget deficit that results from increased government purchases, also results in current account deficit. Since trade deficit implies negative NX there is a negative NCO.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$5,354,741

Explanation:

assets:

cash $3,290,558

inventory $2,657,360

accounts receivable $577,102

fixed assets $4,019,047

total assets = $10,544,067

liabilities:

accruals $576,944

accounts payable $2,519,541

notes payable $610,904

long-term debt $1,481,937

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put

lorasvet [3.4K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem.

Data: S₀ = 106; X = 112; 1 + r = 1.12. The two possibilities for ST are 149 and 75.

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put

Answer: the hedge ratio of the put H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

Explanation:

Given that;

S₀ = 106, X = 112, 1 + r = 1.12

Us₀ = 149 ⇒ Pu = 0

ds₀ = 75 ⇒ Pd = 37

To find the Hedge ratio using the expression

H = Pu - Pd /Us₀ - ds₀

so we substitute

H = 0 - 37 / 149 - 75

H = - 37/ 74

H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

Assume MIX Inc. has sales volume of $1,342,000 for two products with May sales and contribution margin ratios as follows:

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Instructions are below,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A: Sales $514,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%

Product B: Sales $828,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%

fixed expenses are $338,000

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

Total CM= CM Product A + CM Product B

Total CM= 514,000*0.3 + 828,000*0.6= $651,000

The operating income is calculated deducting from the total contribution margin the fixed costs:

Operating income= 651,000 - 338,000= 313,000

The average weighted contribution margin is calculated using the contribution margin ratio per product and the sales mix.

Sales mix:

Product A= 514,000/1,342,000= 0.38

Product B= 828,000/1,342,000= 0.62

Weighted average contribution= contribution margin ratio*sales mix

Product A= 0.3*0.38= 0.114

Product B= 0.6*0.62= 0.372

Total= 0.486

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.486= 48.6%

Finally, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (units)= 338,000/ 0.486= $695,473.25
