Answer: The answers are explained below.
Explanation:
• Cost of debt: The cost of debt is the interest rate that a company is charged on its debts. It is the interest paid on bonds, loans etc. The cost of debt is usually the before-tax cost of a debt.
• Cost of equity: The cost of equity is the return a firm pays to its equity investors e.g shareholders in order to reward them for the risk taken by investing their capital. Companies need capital to operate and grow hence, individuals and organizations who provide funds to such companies are rewarded.
• After tax WACC: The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a firm's combined cost of capital including preferred shares, common shares, and debt after the deduction of tax.
• Equity Beta: It measures the sensitivity of the stock price to changes in market. Equity Beta is also called levered beta.
• Asset beta: It is the beta of a firm without the effect of debt. It is a company's volatility of returns without its indebtedness.
• Pure play comparable: The pure play comparable is the taking of the beta estimate of another company that is comparable and in same line of business.
• Certainty equivalent: It is the guaranteed return that an individual would take now, rather than awaiting a higher but uncertain return later in the future.
Answer:
Provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract
Explanation:
Consequential damages in contracts is different from incidental or actual damages because it causes a loss that impacts the business of the other party beyond the contract horizon, when the opposite party fails to fulfill his side of the contractual obligations.
In the scenario, Nevada's failure to deliver within agreed contractual timing is not just delaying the time of Meatpackers but as a consequence, is also causing them loss in money terms which will impact their business beyond the contract horizon.
Hence an award of consequential damages to Meatpackers will provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.
Answer:
$441,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of merchandise sold is shown below:
Cost of merchandise sold = Opening inventory + net purchase - ending inventory
where,
Opening inventory = $14,500
Net purchase is
= $475,000 - $15,000 - $9,000 + $7,000
= $458,000
And, the ending inventory is $31,500
So, the cost of merchandise sold is
= $14,500 + $458,000 - $31,500
= $441,000
Answer:
Hire temporary employees to work on specific projects.
Explanation:
Human resource management is the process by which a business effectively manages its manpower needs to meet its organisational goals at a reduced cost to the business.
It involves the various strategies used to hire employees to meet business needs in a cost-effective way.
The construction division has a highly seasonal workload, with fewer projects in the winter than in the summer. Also, different expertise is needed for different kinds of buildings. So hiring a permanent workforce is counterproductive as they will be paid when there is no work to be done. The best strategy is to hire temporary workers. Also there is need for specialised staff to work on specific projects.
Answer:
These two options represent nominal values:
-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.
This option represents real value:
-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.
In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.
