Answer:
A. 8.15
Explanation:
WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.
In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:
WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)
E = Common equity
D = Debt
PE = Preferred equity
%E = Common equity / total capital
%D = Debt / total capital
%PE = Preferred equity / total capital
Tax = Tax rate
<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>
<u>Calculation:</u>
Using the above formula we can calculate WACC
WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)
WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%
They would opt to have a sale of bathing suits. They would offer discount from the original price of the bathing suit. In this way, the suits will be bought because its cheaper than before.
The store manager should make sure that the discounted price is still higher than the cost of the bathing suits so that they will still generate profit even at a lower value than initially expected.
Answer:
A.1830
B.$1397.75
Explanation:
A.Gross pay
Formula for Gross pay
Gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay
= (40*30)+(14*30*1.5)
=1200+630
= $1830
Part B
B.Net pay
Formula for Net pay
Net pay = gross pay – social security tax – medicare tax – federal income tax
= 1830-(1830*6.0%)-(1830*1.5%)-295
=1830-109.8-27.45-295
= $1397.75
Answer:
Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables
Explanation:
Vegetables Chicken Trade Off Ratio
John 40 10 4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)
George 25 5 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)
John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :
- John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
- George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).
So, John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.
- It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
- Unitary method:- '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
Answer:
Push system.
Explanation:
A push system produces finished-goods inventory in advance of customer demand using a forecast of sales and as such it is categorized as a make to stock because the production of goods are not based on actual demand by the consumers.
Under a push system, manufacturing is strictly based on a projected production plan and the flow of information between the manufacturer and the market is in the same direction with those of raw materials used.
