Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighte

d average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

True or false the texas legislature is classified as highly professional, the highest level of institutionalization.
Phantasy [73]
<span>Your question lacks some context. So, I am going to assume that you are talking about relates to America as a whole. If my assumption is right, I'd have to say that the answer is false because they are at the state level and the federal level outranks it. For instance, if Texas passes a law abolishing a minimum wage, the law on federal minimum wage still must be followed.</span>

A company has positive cash flows from operating activities, negative cash flows from capital expenditures, and negative cash fl
Shalnov [3]

Growth stage. Profits from the company should be able to comfortably cover overhead and pay employees at this point. Sales are probably rising, and profit margins have risen once capital investments and loans have been repaid by the business.

<h3>What these terms means?</h3><h3>A) Positive cash flow</h3><h3>B) Negative cash flow</h3><h3>C) Dividends</h3>
  • The net amount of cash and cash equivalents coming into and going out of a business is referred to as cash flow.
  • Money spent and money received represent inflows and outflows, respectively. Fundamentally, a company's capacity to produce positive cash flows, or more specifically, its capacity to maximize long-term free cash flow, determines its ability to create value for shareholders (FCF).
  • When a company has positive cash flow, its net balance on its cash flow statement for that particular period is higher than zero. In other words, the net result of all cash inflows and outflows over this period is positive rather than negative, and as a result, the company's cash reserves are increasing.
  • Because a capital expenditure involves money leaving your company, it has a negative value in comparison to income or revenue. Because they are being deducted from your balance sheet or show as a negative capital expenditure on cash flow statements, capital expenditures are negative.
  • a sum of money that is regularly paid by a business to its shareholders out of its profits (typically once per year) (or reserves) is called Dividends.

What is an externality? how do externalities relate to socially optimal quantity?
Elodia [21]
An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved.  For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.
