Answer:

a. Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

Explanation:

This is the best way to rewrite this sentence in order to avoid the problem of the dangling modifier. A dangling modifier is a word or a phrase within a sentence that modifies a word that is not clearly stated. In this case, the original sentence makes it sound as if the meeting minutes were the ones taking the train into Boston. The reviewed sentence gets rid of this confusion.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The expected profit is -$13,162.

I would not recomend the investor to make this investment.

Explanation:

The expected profit can be calculated multypling the probabilities of every outcome and the profit of each outcome, and substracting the total invevstment.

The outcomes are:

1) probability 0.39 of a $23,000 loss,

2) probability 0.24 of a $8700 profit,

3) probability 0.12 of a $31,000 profit, and

4) probability 0.25 of breaking even

NOTE: It is assumed that the outcomes does not include the initial investment.

Then, the expected profit of this investment is:

E(P)=[0.39*(-23,000)+0.24*8,700+0.12*31,000+0.25*0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=[-8,970+2,088+3,720+0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=-3,162-10,000\\\\E(P)=-13,162

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Explanation:

WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • D and E represents debt and equity respectively

To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.

The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share

MV of equity = $1200 million

The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)

40 * (r - 0.07) = 4

40r - 2.8 = 4

40r = 4+2.8

r = 6.8 / 40

r = 0.17 or 17%

MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5%  => $38.6 million

Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million

WACC = 38.6/1238.6  *  0.08  *  (1-0.33)  +  1200/1238.6  *  0.17

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
