Answer:

4.96%

Explanation:

In order to determine the component after-tax cost of debt first we need to  compute the before tax cost of debt by applying the RATE formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,155

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8.25% ÷ 2 = $41.25

NPER = 40 years × 2 = 80 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.54%  × 2 = 7.08%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.08% × ( 1 - 0.30)

= 4.96%

Ksju [112]

Natalie wants to make a 25% profit on a $70000 sale. That would be:

(125 ÷ 100) × 70000 = $87500.

Natalie wants to make $87500. But the agent would charge a 6% for the sale, Natalie will add a 6% to the $87500, that would be:

(106 ÷ 100) * 87500 = $92750.

On this $92750, there's a closing cost of $1200,

Add $92750 + $1200 = $93950.

$93950 to the nearest hundred will be $94000.

Natalie should make the final sale price $94000 in order to make a profit of %25.

Weighted average number

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.

A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run
