Answer:
- A. What will be the energy consumption of the new robotics.
- C. Whether even better robotics may be available in a short while.
- D. Whether there will be additional training necessary with the new robotics.
Explanation:
Factors that should be considered before a decision is made on purchasing or investing should include anticipated costs or the chance of the product being made obsolete such that new products may need to be bought.
The energy cost of the new robotics should therefore be considered along with the chance that there may be better robots in the future such that there may be a need to replace the robotics to be acquired.
Training cost should also be considered as this is very integral to using the robotics effectively.
Sunk costs should not be considered as they have already be expended and no decision will reverse them.
B) The smallest payment that will keep a credit card holder in good standing with the lender
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1, The cost of debt before tax is
Given that
NPER = 10%
PMT - $1,000 × 7% = $70
PV = $886
FV = $1,000
The formula is given below:
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 8.76%
2. The after tax cost of debt is
= 8.76% × (1 - 0.30)
= 6.13%
3. The total equity is
= $20 per share × 2million shares
= $40 million
4. The cost of equity is
= Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.2 × (9% - 4%)
= 10%
5. The weight of debt is
= ($886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 ) ÷ (886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 + $40)
= 30.70%
6. The WACC is
= Weight of debt × after tax cost of debt + weight of equity × cost of equity
= 30.70% × 6.13% + (1 - 0.3070) × 10%
= 8.81%
Answer:
The right solution is:
(a) 120
(b) 20%
Explanation:
Given that,
Full time employed,
= 75
Part time employed,
= 25
Total unemployed,
= 20
(a)
The total employed will be:
= 
= 
= 
Now,
Labor force will be:
= 
= 
= 
(b)
The unemployment rate will be:
= 
= 
= 
= 
(%)
