Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40%

Explanation:

given data

cost of equity = 15.4 percent

pretax cost of debt = 8.9 percent

debt-equity ratio = 0.46

tax rate = 34 percent

to find out

What is the cost of capital for this project

solution

first we get Equity multiplier that is express as

Equity multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio  ..................1

put here value

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

and

Weight of equity will be

Weight of equity = \frac{1}{Equity\ multiplier}    ....................2

put here value

Weight of equity = \frac{1}{1.46}

Weight of equity =  0.6849

and

Weight of Debt will be here

Weight of Debt = 1 -  weight of equity    ...........................3

put here value

Weight of Debt =  1 - 0.6849

Weight of Debt =   0.3151

so

Cost of capital will be here as

Cost of capital = Weight of Debt  × pretax cost of debt ×  (1- tax rate )  + cost of equity ×  Weight of equity    .....................4

put here value we get    

Cost of capital = 0.3151 × 8.9% × (1 - 0.34) + 15.4% × 0.6849

Cost of capital = 12.40%

In the long run, if inputs are increased by 10 percent and output increases by 20 percent, then __________ are said to exist.
Gala2k [10]
In the long run, if inputs are increased by 10 percent and output increases by 20 percent, then diseconomies of scale are said to exist. It is because diseconomies of scale is likely to happen in the long run for a business with increasing inputs without decreasing the cost of production. It can happen when the increase in production is dependent on one part that needs to be completed but there is a delay on producing the parts. Another reason is that the cost of shipping may increase base on how far will be the distance and the weight of the product.

vlada-n [284]

Unemployment insurance makes workers less likely to negotiate for job security when searching for a job and more likely to have a long job search.

Explanation:

Unemployment insurance is a compensation protection where people lost their jobs and follow all eligibility criteria without blame.

Unemployment insurance Workers who are self-employed and willingly fired do not have a career security policy and have to use discretionary funds to cover cases where there is no work available. State governments pay a jobless insurance

Unemployment insurance supports unemployed workers actively seeking work with cash scholarships. The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and state employment programs offer benefits for qualifying unemployed workers. There was a misunderstanding. Most employers pay FUTA tax on federal and state unemployment.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

total stockholders' equity =  $660000

Explanation:

given data

Issued = 15,000 shares

par value = $0.01 per share

issued = $39.00 per share

net income = $300,000

Paid dividends = $15.00 per share

to find out

total stockholders' equity

solution

we get here common stock that is express as

common stock = 15,000 × $39

common stock =  $585000

and

dividends is = $15 × 15000

dividends = 225000

so

total stockholders' equity will be

total stockholders' equity = common stock  + net income - dividends

total stockholders' equity = $585000 + $300,000 - 225000

total stockholders' equity =  $660000
