Answer:

11.64%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate)  + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,  

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

The total firm includes debt, preferred stock, and the equity which equals to

= $3,000,000 + $2,000,000 = $5,000,000

So, Weighted of debt = ($2,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) = 0.40

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = $3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,0000

                                                              = 0.60              

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.40 × 6%) × ( 1 - 40%) +  (0.60 × 17%)

= 1.44% + 10.2%

= 11.64%

A monopoly is considering selling several units of a homogeneous product as a single package. a typical consumer's demand for th
just olya [345]

Answer:

A. 15 units

B. $130

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use the profit maximization condition for monopoly.

MR = MC will give us the optimal quantity and price for the monopolist.

The consumer's demand for the product is:

Qd = 80 - 0.5P

Therefore, we have:

P = (80 / 0.5) - (Qd / 0.5)

P = 160 - 2Qd

Recall that, Total Revenue:

TR = P * Q

So, in this case TR = 160Q - 2Q^2

MR = d(TR) / dQ = 160 - 4Q

Now, MR = MC

160 - 4Q = 100

4Q = 160 - 100

4Q = 60

Q = 60 / 4

Q = 15 units.

Now, P =160 - 2Q

P = 160 - 2(15)

P = 160 - 30 = 130

The optimal number of units to be placed in a package will therefore be 15 units while the firm should charge $130 for this package.
