D. has slowly lost ground to emerging command systems.

Answer:

B. effectively harnesses the incentives of workers and entrepreneurs.

Explanation:

An economic system can be defined as a series of governmental or societal arrangements and a coordinating mechanism used for the allocation of available resources, economic inputs, goods and services across a particular country. The economic system differs according to the method used to coordinate economic activities and who the factors of production belongs to.

Generally, there are basically two (2) main types of economic systems and these are;

1. Command systems.

2. Market systems.

The market system effectively harnesses the incentives of workers and entrepreneurs because workers are able to engage in division of labor and are well compensated for their efficiency in service while the entrepreneur are usually rewarded with an increase in sales and profits.

The market system allows participants to have property rights such as trademarks, patents and copyright. Also, market systems are regulated by the competition among individuals (traders or entrepreneurs) and this gives direction to the market as they pursue self interests and are independent.

You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 24 percent. Debt: 14,000 6.3 perce

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000 + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1 - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

Organizing a partnership has several advantages; it is much faster, simpler and easy, start up costs are very low, etc.

But it has one huge disadvantage over a corporation, the partners are completely liable for the partnership's debts and obligations. That means that if the partnership goes bankrupt, the partners must pay all the debts and obligations. While a corporation's stockholders are only liable for the amount they invested in stock, i.e. you buy $10,000 in stock, then all you can lose is $10,000.

Also a corporations stocks are easily traded while a it is very complicated to transfer partnerships' rights.
