Answer:

a. 4.94%

b. 11.48%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity.

We proceed as follows;

a. From the question;

The debt equity ratio = 1.15

since Equity = 1 ; Then

Total debt + Total equity = 1 + 1.15 = 2.15

Mathematically ;

WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Pretax Cost of debt x Weight of debt x (1-Tax rate)

Where WACC = 8.6%

Cost of equity = 14%

Weight of equity = 1/(total debt + total equity) = 1/(1+1.15) = 1/2.15

Pretax cost of debt = ?

Weight of debt = debt equity ratio/total cost of debt = 1.15/2.15

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Substituting these values, we have;

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

8.6% = 14% x 1/2.15 + Pretax cost of debt x 1.15/2.15 x (1-21%)

Pretax cost debt = (8.6%-6.511628%)/(1.15/2.15 x (1-21%))

Pretax cost of debt = 4.94%

b. WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt

8.6% = Cost of equity x 1/2.15 + 6.1% x 1.15/2.15

Cost of equity = (8.6%-3.26279%)/(1/2.15)

Cost of equity = 11.48%

Given the following data for the economy, compute the value of GDP.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The value of GDP is 75

Explanation:

GDP is equal to Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports (Exports minus Imports), where total Investment is equal to Fixed Investment plus the Change in Inventories.  

The change in GDP will therefore equal the change in Consumption + the change in Investment + the change in Government Spending + the change in Net Exports, where the change in Investment will equal the change in Fixed Investment plus the change in the Change in Inventories.

= Government purchases of goods and services  (10) + Consumption Expenditures  (70 )+ Exports  (5 ) - Imports  (12) + Change in Inventories  (-7 ) + Construction of new homes and apartments  (15 ) - Sales of existing homes and apartments  (22 ) + Government payments to retirees  (17 ) + Business Fixed Investment  (9)

= 75

B) Step 2: Assess the national business environment is part of which step in the screening process for potential markets and sites.

The national environment of a business consists of economic, demographic, natural, cultural and political forces. The external environment of a company is often divided into an economic environment, a political and governmental environment, a sociocultural environment, and an international environment.

A state-owned enterprise is a company that operates within the borders of a particular country. Like local companies, state-owned companies understand the culture of the country and develop products and services to satisfy the market. For example, Donut Time is a donut shop that operates throughout Australia.
